Dr. Michael Mann is Presidential Distinguished Professor of Earth and Environmental Science at the University of Pennsylvania. He also serves as Director of the Penn Center for Science, Sustainability, and the Media, and Vice Provost for Climate Science Action and Policy.Dr. Mann first entered the public consciousness in the late 1990s with his "hockey stick graph," a reconstruction of Earth's climate history over the past 1,000 years. The graph became both a cornerstone of climate science and a lightning rod for controversy. Since then, he has published more than 200 peer-reviewed papers, co-founded realclimate.org, and written five books—most recently, Our Fragile Moment: How Lessons from Earth's Past Can Help Us Survive the Climate Crisis.Having spent nearly three decades fighting climate misinformation and defending the scientific record, Dr. Mann has witnessed multiple waves of public consciousness around climate change. In this episode, we hear his perspective on how public sentiment has evolved, where we stand today, and his views on what he sees as a coordinated campaign to block climate action.Dr. Mann doesn't pull punches. He names names, draws direct lines between fossil fuel interests and political actors, and isn't shy about calling out what he views as bad-faith tactics across the political spectrum.Episode recorded on May 21, 2025 (Published on Jul 22, 2025)In this episode, we cover: ⁠[1:51]⁠ DiCaprio based Don't Look Up character on Michael⁠[4:26]⁠ Why Michael's center combines science and media⁠[5:27]⁠ Communication is today's biggest climate challenge⁠[7:27]⁠ The story and impact of the “hockey stick” graph⁠[13:17]⁠ How fossil fuel interests targeted his work and reputation⁠[15:32]⁠ Russia's modern climate disinformation tactics⁠[17:22]⁠ Climate denial, delay, doom, distraction, and division⁠[20:26]⁠ Deflection: blame shifted to individual responsibility⁠[21:48]⁠ The progress we've made and the need to accelerate solutions⁠[25:17]⁠ Why China may lead in future emissions reductions⁠[29:16]⁠ Methane leaks make gas a major climate threat[33:15] What exactly we're trying to save on the planet⁠[38:22]⁠ How Project 2025 is erasing climate accountability⁠[40:46]⁠ Which climate science institutions are being dismantled⁠[45:09]⁠ What a livable 2050 future could still look like Enjoyed this episode?

NGI markets editor Chris Newman sits down with Bracewell partners Bryan Clark and Jared Berg to discuss how companies can tap associated gas supply in the Permian Basin to fuel innovative co-located power arrangements and potentially receive higher pricing than at the oft-volatile West Texas benchmark, Waha. While data centers housing artificial intelligence grab headlines for their massive appetite for electricity, these projects represent a broader trend of associated gas assets being monetized for various in-basin power needs. Bigger projects may solve gas supply issues, but they bring operational complexity. Clark and Berg give examples of existing and proposed off-grid uses and the challenges they face.

NGI's managing editor of markets, Kevin Dobbs, interviews Pinebrook Energy Advisors' Andy Huenefeld, managing partner. They delve into supplies in storage, production, weather-driven demand and export activity – with a special focus on prices in the Midwest and East. The latest U.S. Energy Information storage report showed overall inventories were 6% above the five-year average, but surpluses in the Midwest and East were notably leaner after June heat waves in those regions.  While the winter heating season is far off, natural gas storage is in a markedly different situation than last year. There are likely to be ample supplies stocked for next season, but with producers able to fast respond to cash market price signals and LNG feed gas demand bumping as export facilities ramp, Huenefeld details a dynamic season ahead.

This week on the podcast, Jackie and Peter start by talking about Jackie's recent op-ed in the Globe and Mail, titled “Yes, absolutely – Canada needs more oil and gas pipelines to our coasts,” also available on the ARC Energy Research Institute website. Next, Peter and Jackie review the fundamentals of oil prices, the muted effect of the 12-day Iran-Israel war, and why oil prices have been creeping up despite weaker short-term fundamentals. Peter argues that the growing importance of “geoeconomics” - where countries use economic tools to influence foreign affairs - means that predicting oil prices will no longer be just about counting barrels. In the future, one of the most significant factors shaping oil markets will be the geoeconomic strategies of nations, including actions such as sanctions, tariffs, and withholding supply. Finally, Jackie and Peter discuss President Trump's recent letters to numerous countries threatening higher tariffs effective August 1st, including a letter to Canada with 35% tariffs on Canadian goods. Washington also introduced global copper tariffs. This is the last podcast before a break; the podcast will resume at the end of summer. Please review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/ Check us out on social media: X (Twitter): @arcenergyinstLinkedIn: @ARC Energy Research Institute Subscribe to ARC Energy Ideas PodcastApple PodcastsAmazon MusicSpotify

Importing liquefied natural gas could potentially require one billion dollars in capital investment. Major energy companies Clarus, Contact Energy, Genesis Energy, Meridian Energy, and Mercury have commissioned two studies looking into the option. Data out last month shows New Zealand's domestic gas supply is reducing faster and sooner than previously forecast. Clarus chief executive Paul Goodeve says it would be expensive. He told Heather du Plessis-Allan that the most important thing is not what it costs, but the value it brings, and last winter we saw the cost of not having a stable fuel supply.

“We're not just solving a power problem—we're enabling the next generation of digital infrastructure.” — Jim Summers, CEO, Gas Power Compute Infrastructure In an era where AI and cloud computing are driving data center demand through the roof, the question of how to power that future has become just as critical as the technology itself. In a wide-ranging and insightful conversation with Jim Summers, CEO of Gas Power Compute Infrastructure (GPC), Technology Reseller News publisher Doug Green explores the very real energy bottlenecks now threatening digital transformation. Founded to address the widening gap between data center demand and utility grid capacity, GPC delivers onsite, natural gas-powered energy infrastructure—turning traditional thinking about power delivery on its head. The Grid Can't Keep Up—But Data Centers Can't Wait For decades, power in the U.S. was abundant, and few thought twice about availability. But now, as Summers explains, we are entering the fourth industrial revolution—an era defined by hyper-connected devices, mobility, and generative AI—all powered by data centers. These new centers are no longer requesting 10 megawatts—they're asking for 100 or even a gigawatt of capacity. The utilities simply can't keep up. Aging infrastructure, permitting delays, and the realities of a slow-moving grid have pushed many operators to face years-long timelines just to connect to adequate power. Enter On-Site Generation: Behind-the-Meter, Ahead of the Curve GPC's solution: on-site, behind-the-meter generation using clean-burning, flexible natural gas. This approach offers three key benefits: Speed to Power – On-site generation bypasses grid delays, enabling faster deployment. Reliability – Natural gas turbines, especially in redundant (N+1) configurations, can offer five nines reliability. Sustainability – On-site gas can outperform the grid's coal-heavy mix in emissions, while achieving efficiencies of up to 85% through waste heat recapture. Summers emphasizes the often-overlooked efficiency and environmental advantage of natural gas. Unlike grid power—which loses up to 15% in transmission—GPC's approach delivers power where it's used, minimizing waste and opening the door to future hydrogen and biogas adoption with the same infrastructure. From Heavy Industry to High Tech: Lessons Reapplied Drawing on decades of experience in energy infrastructure for chemical plants, paper mills, and refineries, Summers and his team are now applying proven self-generation strategies to a new challenge: digital infrastructure. The parallels are clear—both need reliable, high-volume, and resilient power. “We're really taking what heavy industry figured out years ago and putting it to work for data centers,” said Summers. Dispelling Myths, Delivering Certainty A few persistent myths linger around onsite generation, Summers noted. Is it legal? Yes—in all 50 states. Is it reliable? Even more so than many utility grids today. Is it sustainable? Absolutely—especially compared to coal-fired baseline generation still running across the U.S. What GPC brings is not just technology, but turnkey solutions and long-term partnerships. “We don't lead with equipment. We lead with relationships,” says Summers, underscoring the company's deep bench of energy veterans, capital backing, and holistic project management—from permitting to fuel sourcing to system operation. Complexity, Simplified In the end, Summers argues, the goal is to help customers turn a highly complex energy challenge into an opportunity. As data center developers and operators face mounting urgency, GPC stands ready to provide not only power, but peace of mind. “Every time you use your phone, you're tapping into a data center. But the reality is, that data center might be competing with homes and hospitals for grid power on a 117-degree day. That's why we built GPC—to give our clients control, speed,

This episode of the Pipeliners Podcast features Jimmy Stewart from the Ohio Gas Association discussing the growing intersection between electrical demand and natural gas infrastructure. The conversation explores historical trends in electricity generation, the shifting role of natural gas as a baseload power source, and the increasing pressure from emerging sectors like data centers. The discussion highlights the implications for future pipeline development, infrastructure capacity, and energy policy in the face of rising demand.   Visit PipelinePodcastNetwork.com for a full episode transcript, as well as detailed show notes with relevant links and insider term definitions. 

NGI markets editors Chris Newman and Jodi Shafto discuss whether long-dormant pipeline projects in the region could finally break ground under the new administration based on Jodi's takeaways from the recent LDC Gas Forum Northeast conference in Boston.   The duo examine the stark price divide between the pipeline haves and have nots. Appalachian gas traded near zero while New England spiked to $33.50/MMBtu this winter. With data center demand surging, the infrastructure gap could become even more critical.   They discuss industry sentiment on the prospects for reviving projects like Williams' Constitution Pipeline. They also review how the region's gas pipelines and producers are positioned to handle explosive AI-driven demand.

Ontario minister of energy and mines Stephen Lecce oversees portfolios the government says will drive economic growth in the province in the years ahead. And he's got some big jobs ahead of him. His office is laying the groundwork to meet what the Independent Electricity System Operator says will be a 75 percent increase in electricity demand by 2050. But the plan is not without controversy.

NGI's Patrick Rau, senior vice president of research and analysis, checks all the boxes in sharing his expertise about the outlook for U.S. natural gas in a sitdown with NGI's Carolyn Davis, managing editor of news.  Where are domestic natural gas prices headed into 2026? Pat says it's not one thing or another, as rising demand is ahead as more LNG export capacity comes online, and as industrial and residential/commercial sector consumption climbs.  E&Ps are likely waiting for bullish natural gas price signals to spur activity in the second half of 2025, but they will be accelerating their activity, according to Pat.  The odds of adding natural gas infrastructure, both midstream and by utilities, also is discussed as hyperscalers compete to build a plethora of data centers.

The world may be changing rapidly, but one thing is not – its demand for natural resources, many of which Canada has supplied for generations. Oil, natural gas, metals and timber. And our new Liberal government seems to be embracing this country's past as a provider of raw materials, as well as increasing numbers of Canadians. But how can the government boost development while also balancing important modern considerations such as First Nations consultation and climate change?

We discuss the trilemma facing the energy and commodities markets -  between security, affordability, and sustainability, what now matters in policy and investment decisions? In the previous US administration and in Europe, sustainability was a key policy driver. Under the new Trump administration, and indeed globally since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, security has come to the forefront. How should organizations think about these three facets? How is the world changing and what does that mean for the energy and commodities sector? Our guest is Clay Seigle, Senior Fellow in the Energy Security and Climate Change Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Clay holds the James R. Schlesinger chair in Energy and Geopolitics and is an experienced energy industry analyst with specialization in market intelligence and political risk. Clay provides policymakers and corporate leaders with thought leadership and strategic insights to navigate regional and global energy security challenges.

Hochul to continue supporting New York City's Congestion Pricing plan and fight against the federal government's insane attempts to shut it down. This policy has already decreased traffic congestion, reduced travel times for people of all income brackets traveling into the city, increased business-friendly foot traffic in the city, and raised much needed revenues to improve our public transportation system. We cannot allow the federal government to bully our state into reversing a popular and effective policy, and I ask that you continue doing everything in your power to make sure the policy remains in effect.
