NEW: Why are California gas prices so much higher than in Hawaii?
“California’s fuel is imported mainly by sea from locations including Singapore, Alaska, and the Gulf Coast…The state also imposes strict environmental regulations, such as the cap-and-invest and Low Carbon Fuel Standard programs, adding approximately 47 cents per gallon.”
.@SecretaryWright explains why the Trump administration is using Defense Production Act funding to support pipeline construction, arguing that increasing energy supply is key to lowering prices.
“The reason we have to bring that Defense Production Act funding is this pipeline was attempted to be built a dozen years ago and Democrats blocked it in their energy subtraction policies...The answer to high prices is more supply to push prices down.”
NEW: Energy expert warns of risks Suncor v. Boulder poses to energy costs, security:
“Energy security is national security. Countries that produce affordable, reliable energy hold leverage, and countries that depend on others give it up.”
Marylanders can’t afford the cost of a climate superfund
“When government imposes billions of dollars in new costs within that system, policymakers should not simply assume those costs disappear. They can affect investment, infrastructure, supply and, ultimately, the prices families and employers pay.”
Behind Arnold Schwarzenegger and Gavin Newsom’s Long Beach meeting
“The two politicians shared a chummy ‘fireside chat’ at the 2026 California Economic Summit, held Oct. 13-15 at the Long Beach Convention Center, to mark the 20th anniversary of the California Global Warming Solutions Act, which Schwarzenegger signed into law in 2006…The law required California to slash greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020 — a 30% reduction that the state says it achieved ahead of schedule through mandatory emissions caps and reporting for major industrial sources, along with a statewide cap-and-trade program.”
REPORT: PJM, ERCOT, and SWPP all set peak load records this summer:
“Three regional transmission organizations (RTOs) set records for peak hourly load this past summer…Most of these peaks occurred during regional heat waves, amid the hottest summer on record nationally, which drove up cooling demand.”
REPORT: The Department of Justice, under President Trump, is moving to block construction of the Ørsted’s offshore wind farm off the coast of Rhode Island.
"In the filing made on behalf of the interior department, the government alleged the Biden administration knew the project would harm fishing, scientific research and scenery and still approved it. The DoJ is requesting the court send the project back for reconsideration.
'The Revolution Wind Project will unquestionably have adverse impacts on the environment, historic properties and national historic landmarks,' it said."
How to Fulfill the Great Potential of Nuclear Energy. Affordable, Clean, Perpetual Power
“Diversifying nuclear fuel sources provides customers timely and cost-effective options. It enables us to unlock an abundant fuel solution for the next century, transforms two liabilities—waste and government material—into assets, and minimizes price and geopolitical risk. It is the surest way to secure energy independence and abundant, affordable clean energy for our future.”
NEW: Rising AI demand boosts case for new US trunk power lines
“Greater regional and interregional transmission capacity could help PJM tackle soaring demand and rising capacity market costs, while reducing the amount of new generation required…Greater grid capacity allows lower cost electricity to be moved to where it is most needed, reducing the need to build more expensive generation closer to demand centers as power consumption grows.”
READ: The Constitution’s structure should decide Suncor
“The division among the states underscores why no single state’s law can govern either a sister state or the entire nation. Boulder wrongly wants a Colorado jury to apply Colorado law to energy production that other states encourage, while denying the energy producers and their home states any voice.”
