If President Donald Trump is not the most significant player in global oil markets today, he’s at least its biggest wild card. Tweets savaging OPEC, U.S. sanctions on Iran and Venezuela, and a precarious trade policy that threatens the health of the global economy can push energy markets in very different directions in the near-term.

Instead, he will blast OPEC on Twitter and pressure Saudi Arabia to pump more oil to ta…   Read More at Canary

Is the reliability of our nation’s electric power grid threatened by the market-driven retirement of nuclear power facilities? Despite the wealth of evidence to the contrary, the answer according to a new report by the Nuclear Energy Institute, is “yes.” NEI’s paper, “The Impact of Fuel Supply Security on Grid Resilience,” claims that one of the most significant risks to grid resiliency is an over-reliance on cheap natural gas as a fuel source, specifically in the Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Maryland (PJM) Mid-Atlantic area.

Through innovation and free-market principles, America’s oil and natural gas sector have moved us from an age of scarcity to a future of abundance. As a nation, we are once again the world’s biggest producer, with all of the economic, trade and national security benefits that portends. But there is a move afoot by wealthy investment firms and environmental activists to undermine that success and turn back to a time of scarcity by making climate change an issue in the boar…   Read More at Canary

Scottsdale, AZ, Thursday, June 21, 2018 Check out Dan K. Eberhart’s letter to President Trump. Dear President Trump, On behalf of the hundreds of American workers of Canary, LLC, I write to urge you to ensure that Administrator Pruitt and the EPA do not include a reallocation of blending obligations that were waived under the small refinery exemption program to other refiners. News reports have indicated that EPA is planning to doing just that as a part of their release of the 2019 Renewable Volume Obligations (RVO) under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) as early as tomorrow.
