#NaturalGas

The #electricity debate in the #MGA has a new twist thanks to our friends the corporate lobbyists. I see two different issues in the article here (paywalled). 1) Should #naturalgas and #nuclear energy (sorry Trump, #coal is dead) be part of the mix, maybe imperiling #Maryland 's #CO2 #emissions targets? 2) Should regulations permit vertical consolidation of transmission and generation?

I'm for 1) and against 2). Advocates should recognize #Power $$ hits the poor hard.

Venezuela's Natural Gas: A Potential Regional Energy Prize Amidst Oil Sector Struggles

Venezuela's large natural gas reserves could help its neighbors and its own power, but it needs more infrastructure and faces U.S. sanctions.

Venezuela's Natural Gas Could Help Neighbors, But Needs Big Changes

Venezuela has a lot of natural gas that could be used to help its neighbors and its own power system. However, building the needed pipes and getting money is hard. Rules from the U.S. also make things more difficult.

A high school student asked me yesterday whether cooking with gas has any effects beyond respiratory disease:

"EEGs were recorded before and during cooking (14 min) and 30 min after the cooking sessions. The brain fast-wave band (beta) decreased during exposure, similar to people with neurodegenerative diseases."

Again,
"similar to people with neurodegenerative diseases"

"We can't afford to build a port for the cook straight ferry, but we can build one for the #NaturalGas no one wants to use" is a wild stance for a govt. that claims to accept the reality of #ClimateChange

China’s energy transition redefines natural gas—not just a bridge fuel, but a security buffer, grid balancer, and low-carbon hydrogen feedstock. at h7.cl/1jeHo

Higher Fuel Prices

Since 1980, I believed that higher fuel prices would reduce fossil fuel consumption--which would later mitigate the climate changes we are experiencing today.

I joined a political party, in part, to get hefty tax on fossil fuel consumption. Our economies would have made appropriate adjustments.

I was not successful.

Quelle surprise: energy agenda at odds with prime minister’s previous stated commitments to addressing climate change.


Capitalism + fossil fuels lobby = anthropogenic climate change

"For all the talk of Russia’s “weaponisation” of gas supplies, history tells a different story. For decades, first the Soviet Union and later Russia continued supplying energy to Germany and the rest of Europe through multiple geopolitical crises, including during the height of the Cold War. More recently, even after the delivery of German weapons to Ukraine, and then the attack on Nord Stream, Moscow repeatedly stated that it was up to Berlin whether to resume gas supplies or not.

The United States, by contrast, has a long and well-documented history of weaponising energy — using it as leverage to extract economic and geopolitical concessions. And under Donald Trump, this has become explicit policy. The US National Security Strategy, published in November 2025, designates “American energy dominance” across oil, gas, coal and nuclear power as a top strategic priority, explicitly framing the expansion of American energy exports as a means to “project power”. This is not mere rhetoric. The Trump administration has repeatedly demonstrated its willingness to intervene aggressively in domestic and global markets, upend established policies and exert pressure not only on adversaries but also on long-standing allies.

By the time Trump returned to office, Europe’s dependence on US energy was already a fait accompli, following the EU’s decision to cut itself off from Russian gas and the sabotage of Nord Stream. Since then, Trump has only actively sought to deepen that dependence. In April 2025, for instance, his administration used the so-called “Liberation Day” tariffs to pressure Germany and other EU states to refrain from importing any Russian energy."
