Gas Buddy experts expect that low gas inventories will collide with the 60 million people who drive over the Memorial Day weekend. That is a formula for a price jump at the pump.

There have already been 26,000 wildfires in the US this year. That puts the figure on record pace. What happend. A small amount of snow in the western mountains and drought spreading as far east as Florida.

The US has exported $50 billion in oil since the Iran war started. The reason the US has such a surplus is that oil companies have aggressively drilled and made money, because green energy has a small foothold. In essence, oil companies have no competition. The incentives for more exploration and production are considerable.

According to the City of New York, greenhouse gas emissions cause large jumps in summer temperatures. This week will help to prove this as temperatures reach 100 degrees F and the heat index tops 100 degrees as well. This will strain the electricity grid and affect the productivity of those who work outdoors

Corpus Christi sits on the Gulf of Mexico. The salt water nearby does it no good as the city has been hit by a drought that has taken away most of its water. Texas Monthly makes the point that rain from a hurricane is almost certainly the only thing that will help it

Farm prices may be rising because of a fertilizer but drought is their real problem. And, it is a problem around the world

Scientists, including a Nobel Prize winner, have early prototypes that would make water from air. If they work, drought may, very slowly be reduced in some parts of the world, according to Bloomberg

The American Lung Association says EV school buses are critical to the health of American school children. The use is becoming a reality.

China is investing hundreds of billions of dollars in green energy. Much of this is because of government support. The Trump administration is pushing the US toward coal and oil.

Transportation is 28% of all carbon emissions in the US. A meaningful part of this is jet engines. Despite a large number of experiments, trials involving alternative fuel combustion engines and solar power have not advanced

There is anticipation that the Strait of Hormuz may open. But, just as important is that the US is the world’s largest oil producer and has huge refineries We also have gas reserves

Even with gas near $5, EV sales are not rising significantly. They are still about 6% of new cars and slightly higher among used cars. Americans have not overcome their objections about range, charging times, and insurance rates. The same thing happened in 2022 when gas prices were high

China still uses huge amounts of coal, although it has moved aggressively toward wind and solar. India’s electricity still runs on coal. The US coal use was down, but the Trump administration has reversed that to provide energy to AI data centers.

Trump is opening tens of thousands of acres for coal mining to help provide much-needed electricity. However, old coal plants are expensive to operate, which may increase local electricity bills. And it is dirty, which, among other things, is due to increased mercury emissions.

A new research paper shows that “fracking” creates an inexpensive way to produce natural gas. It saves Americans trillions of dollars. It came at a price to the environment. The process contaminates groundwater and causes air pollution.

AI data centers often have places to build, electricity, and water. However, they are short of transformers. The backlog is as much as four years. This gives solar and wind the opportunity to build out infrastructure, and that could partially replace LNG and coal.

Is the world running out of oil? For some places that import most of their crude, the answer is “yes.” However, today, it is not because of the ships trapped outside the Strait of Hormuz. It is due to sharp declines in crude at storage facilities and at refineries.

Scientists have discovered that heavy rain in one area causes water to sit on the surface. It evaporates. That means it does to spread to rivers and streams to be carried elsewhere

Oil is not only flowing to storage facilities. It is flowing out of these facilities at a record. Without more green energy, the world is already running low on energy. Finally, there is a powerful reason to support it

A new study from Gallup shows that 70% of Americans don’t want data centers near where they live
