@camcadePGE Mitochondria might be the powerhouse of the cell, but that facility is the powerhouse of the United States without a doubt.

Saudi Aramco has recently gained control of the largest refinery in the US from Shell as well as 24 distribution terminals. #PGE301 https://t.co/gJ7jQzMnj4

[Oil and Gas news @OilandGasnew]

Saudis take 100% control of America's largest oil refinery - CNNMoney https://t.co/xUIY3ElFv0

[Christian Schneider @CSchneiderPGE]

@camcadePGE Wow, did not know that. Crazy cool facts dude

[Christian Schneider @CSchneiderPGE]

@DarianKS Marketing done by oil corps could save face when it comes to fracking. It doesn't poison our 💧, but many Americans think otherwise. #PGE301

[Christian Schneider @CSchneiderPGE]

@jiwoookang Developing countries use it because it's cheap, but definitely not a clean energy source.

[Christian Schneider @CSchneiderPGE]

@jiwoookang Coal is not a clean energy player. You can filter out carbon and try to reduce NOx and SOx, but the switch to NatGas is inevitable. #PGE301

[Christian Schneider @CSchneiderPGE]

@jiwoookang Could this be because of smaller vehicles on the roads or more electric cars? I can't tell at this point, but this news isn't good. #PGE301

[Christian Schneider @CSchneiderPGE]

@MustaphaJolaade Argentine oil and gas reserves are quite large; it's a smart move to invest in them while the country puts more into its O&G sector. #PGE301

[Christian Schneider @CSchneiderPGE]

@alana_callahan1 They are also being used to spot leaks along pipelines - I expect the usage of drones to increase greatly in the energy sector #PGE301

[Christian Schneider @CSchneiderPGE]

@camcadePGE Maryland banned fracking as well - based on what information exactly? Looks like some people have been watching too much Gasland. #PGE301

[Christian Schneider @CSchneiderPGE]

@camcadePGE Not sure how profitable this would be, but other industries besides O&G utilizing C-capture could make for reduced US emissions. #PGE301

[Christian Schneider @CSchneiderPGE]

@hayek_claire It shows just how bad industry disasters can be - after all these years, Deepwater Horizon is still burning a hole in BP's pocket #PGE301

[Christian Schneider @CSchneiderPGE]

@Shannon_Rouhana As Natural Gas begins to replace many of US coal plants, the price will become less susceptible to cyclical demand. #PGE301

[Christian Schneider @CSchneiderPGE]

@Shannon_Rouhana People are quick to blame industry, yet nobody will willingly live a less energy-rich lifestyle. It's a global issue, not just O&G. #PGE301

[Christian Schneider @CSchneiderPGE]

@hayek_claire Yet the EIA only projects renewables to grow 1% in the next decades - with so many variables, the future of energy is uncertain. #PGE301

[Christian Schneider @CSchneiderPGE]

@Ferris___Wheel For liquefaction Texas only has the Freeport liquefaction terminal, but a new Cheniere LNG terminal is being constructed in Corpus. #PGE301

[Christian Schneider @CSchneiderPGE]

@hayek_claire @WSJ It's all about supply and demand. If the region where the supply comes from is threatened, prices are bound to increase #PGE301

[Christian Schneider @CSchneiderPGE]

The UK had its first 24 hours with no energy generated from coal-fire power plants on April 21st. Is this the end of British coal? #PGE301 https://t.co/kutgbFXqp1

[Natural Gas Asia @NatGasAsia]

Drones could help locate leaks quicker along pipelines - the future of the oil and gas sector. #PGE301

[Christian Schneider @CSchneiderPGE]

While a remarkable achievement, one must also consider emissions from the transportation sector - the largest producer of U.S CO2. #PGE301 https://t.co/3bxGpuqKLP

We no longer have to choose between more energy and a cleaner environment: https://t.co/XsHNE0at5a #100daysofenergy
