Two gas pipelines in New York are suddenly back on the table following a revival of talks between President Donald Trump and Governor Kathy Hochul earlier this year. Liz Krueger, New York State Senator (D, WF - 28th, Manhattan's East Side) and chair of the Finance Committee, and Rich Schrader, New York government affairs director of the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), talk about what's at stake for the environment if the projects, known as The Northeast Supply Enhancement pipeline and the Constitution pipeline, get the green light from the Governor.

NGI's Andrew Baker and  Kevin Dobbs sit down for deep dive into the state of North American natural gas markets, with a particular emphasis on the western United States and Canada.   The discussion spans key factors shaping supply, demand, and price outlooks – from a coming surge in data center energy needs to abundant Canadian production and persistent infrastructure constraints. Drawing on insights from the recent LDC Gas Forum in Denver, Baker highlights the interplay of emerging demand drivers with today's elevated supply picture.   The editors also examine what forward curves reveal about fundamentals heading into winter and beyond, offering perspective on where the market may be headed in the months ahead.

We have to admit, it did not even cross our mind that the outlook for global gas demand was anything other than continued growth for the foreseeable future. In fact, there are a number of high-profile macro forecasters projecting a permanent peak in global natural gas demand by as soon as 2030 and in some cases the mid-2030s. This, in our view, is pure insanity. We will take the over, and in fact the way over, that global natural gas demand will grow for many, many decades into the future.Perhaps we were lulled into a false sense of presumed natural gas growth optimism based on what we think is a broad-based acceptance of US natural gas growth due to LNG export expansion and now AI-driven power demand growth. But we are realizing that a positive view of US growth is not necessarily extending to a positive view on global natural gas growth for some of the major macro forecasting agencies.The final topic we discuss this week is a warning to ignore energy macro forecasters that merely tweak prior "transition" assumptions by pushing them slightly out in time. It was an article in the Financial Times this past week that caught our attention on this front and we would strongly encourage energy executives, investors, and board members to simply ignore and pushback on energy macro outlooks that are not grounded in energy's natural hierarchy of needs, which acknowledges that energy availability and reliability is all everyone everywhere cares about. Macro forecasts that prioritize counting carbon should not be the basis for how to think about capital allocation.Before we dig in, two reminders.

Wind is also location specific.* Natural gas does need to compete on overall price/cost economics with alternatives.* Access to capital matters in natural gas, which lacks the mega caps seen in the oil value chain.Don't fall for “delayed transition” narratives* There is now broad-based recognition that the “easy energy transition”” is a bad joke that has adverse societal consequences.* Our Obliterating Peak Oil Demand series, which we have extended to coal and natural gas, illustrates the absurdity.* The mindset that everyone deserves to be energy rich is gaining in acceptance.* What to watch: (1) With upcoming high profile energy outlooks, watch for “delayed transition” language, which is a cop out. (2) If you are a corporate executive, board member, or investor, don't fall for it in making capital allocation decisions.Exhibit 3: Don't fall for “delayed transition” narrativesSource: Financial Times.⚡️ On A Personal Note: Summer Reading List

Mark Carney's taking punches from political opponents, who say the Prime Minister hasn't delivered on his promise to "deal with" Donald Trump. Max Fawcett, lead columnist at Canada's National Observer, says it's too early to say whether or not Carney's plan has failed. But first, as Trump and Vladimir Putin sit down in Alaska, we ask Max what's at stake for the world (including Canada). We get into Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre's tweet about Canadian energy shut out in Europe, and MP Michelle Rempel Garner poking Carney about increased tariffs despite his "elbows up" campaign. Plus, believe it or not...Max agrees with cranky columnist Lorne Gunter about Edmonton's "woke" city council, and gives us his assessment of the mayoral and council races in Calgary and Edmonton.

It never takes long to find the bank of the taxpayer. The Green Building Council has lined the Government up for Lord knows how many millions so we can all ditch our gas heaters, buy heat pumps, and save money and the gas industry. We talked during the week with businesses who use gas. Some are looking to convert, and some want discretionary loans from you-know-who. Major gas users met the Minister last Friday to, I assume, state the obvious that we don't have enough gas, so “something” needs to be done. Just what the "something is" no one seems to know, given I haven't been given a clear answer to a fairly simple question. At the big level like Methanex or Ballance, I don't know if there is an answer. You either pay the price, and presumably pass it on, or you don't and close down. At the smaller level, does a grower of something need a government loan or hand out? Should a grower have seen the price of gas and thought to themselves that they might like to inquire about an alternative? I guess you get that interface between a business being for personal good versus wider good, like jobs and produce and what role a government might play in that. At a personal level we use gas. The price is a joke. We may or may not need to look at something different, but in the meantime, I'm prepared to foot the bill, and I have no desire to seek help from the government. If the Green Building Council are right and we all switched to electricity as supplied by rain, wouldn't life be great? But we all know it's not that easy. We all know the renewable journey has been, and remains, a cluster. We all know a variety of circumstances have coalesced to provide the sort of business environment that leads to big bills, big cutbacks, job losses and lack of growth. It's an open question as to how much of the lack of gas is about Labour and the killing of an industry versus what we already had, running out faster than we thought. But is it possible we could have a mindset change, whereby the taxpayer isn't always the first cab off the rank to cover yet more lack of foresight and planning?

“Incidents drive policy. Policy drives law.” – Marc A. Adams “You don't want to do the Scooby-Doo dance if you smell gas—evacuate and call 911.” – Marc A. Adams “An electronic nose is a better solution than relying on your own.” – Bill Spohn In this compelling episode of the Building HVAC Science Podcast, Bill Spohn and Eric Kaiser speak with Marc A. Adams, Vice President of New Cosmos USA, about natural gas safety and the innovative gas detection technologies behind the DeNova Detect brand. The conversation begins with Marc's fascinating career journey from telecom to public safety, highlighting how his expertise in machine-to-machine and IoT communications now supports life-saving initiatives in the utility space. Marc shares sobering statistics on gas-related incidents and explains the critical need for early-warning natural gas alarms in homes, businesses, and public spaces. The discussion covers the evolution of gas detection—from basic beeping detectors to smart, battery-powered devices that communicate over wireless networks to utilities and mobile apps. The trio also explores real-world tragedies, regulatory landscapes, and how education and advocacy can bridge the awareness gap around gas safety. The episode wraps with a call to action: gas is an essential and generally safe energy source, but detection matters. Marc encourages listeners to understand the risks, install alarms, and engage with resources like DeNovaDetect.com and PreventNaturalGasDisasters.com to stay informed and protected.

Synopsis: Two decades after Hurricane Katrina ravaged Louisiana, the state is now facing a new kind of storm: the rapid expansion of liquified natural gas facilities that are displacing residents and polluting minority communities.This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donateDescription: Hurricane Katrina was one of the deadliest hurricanes ever to strike the United States, killing 1,833 people, displacing hundreds of thousands more and causing more than $100 billion in damage. Louisianans wanted change and climate action, but 20 years on, a state ravaged by climate disasters is now ground zero for a whole new kind of storm: liquified natural gas facilities. The Trump administration okayed several new LNG plants on the Gulf this year, but residents are still picking up the pieces after the first LNG plants entered their neighborhood under Democratic administrations. In this episode, Laura speaks to Louisianans whose lives have been turned upside down by the expansion of LNG exports, and an expert who says minority communities benefit little from the jobs in the petrochemical facilities that surround them, yet suffer disproportionate pollution effects. Their message? Climate refugees exist in the U.S., and there will be more: “Wake up, open your eyes!”“[I'm a] climate refugee, more than once . . . I'm no scientist, but I'm more of an expert than the experts. Living it's a whole different ball game.” - Travis Dardar“[Companies] demand big tax incentives to come here . . . We are last in transportation, last in healthcare, last in education . . . We're almost last in every measurable area because we give tax breaks to the big oil companies and petrochemical companies.” - General Russel L. Honoré“Donald Trump doesn't live next to an oil refinery and he never will.” - Kimberly TerrellGuests:•  Travis Dardar: Commercial Fisherman; Founder, Fishermen Interested In Saving our Heritage (FISH)•  General Russel L.

In the latest episode of NGI's Hub & Flow podcast, NGI's Christopher Lenton, managing editor of Mexico, sits down with Rice University's Francisco Monaldi, director of the Latin America Energy Program at the Baker Institute.    Together, they dive into the energy policy paradox in the United States, where the push for energy dominance is colliding with market realities, triggering ripple effects across global oil and gas markets.    Monaldi, a leading Latin America energy expert, outlines the challenges for Mexico's Pemex, which faces a perfect storm of soaring debt, crumbling production, and regulatory barriers that are stifling investment and threatening Mexico's energy future. While there are faint signs of progress through service contracts and potential projects tapping unconventional resources, Lenton and Monaldi explore why these efforts won't be enough to reverse Pemex's downward trajectory and dependence on U.S. natural gas imports.

The following is an extended interview from our upcoming podcast special “Louisiana Survived Katrina. Will it Survive the Petrochemical Industry? — that takes a deeper dive into the stories of the frontline communities fighting back.We speak with General Russel Honoré, the retired Lieutenant General who led the federal response to Katrina and now heads the GreenArmy, a grassroots environmental alliance.Since the Trump administration returned to office in 2025, a surge of federally approved LNG export plants has swept across Louisiana's coast. Honoré warns these developments are accelerating land loss, worsening hurricane impacts, and deepening the crisis for communities already facing climate displacement. Many have been forced to move multiple times as storms intensify, floodwaters rise, and petrochemical pollution endangers public health—especially in Black, Indigenous, and working-class areas.In this urgent and unfiltered interview, General Honoré speaks out about government capture, corporate corruption, and the growing disconnect between environmental policy and public survival.

Natural gas markets are experiencing structural shifts as demand from power generation and data centers creates new growth opportunities. Industry leaders are adapting their capital strategies to capitalize on these trends while managing financial complexity. CFO Jeremy Knop shares insight on EQT Corporation's transformation, the company's innovative $3.5 billion midstream joint venture with Blackstone and how integrated business models are transforming investment strategies in the natural gas sector.

Author and journalist Robert Bryce returns to Schweitzer Drive for a candid conversation with host Dave Whitehead about the president's bold plan to expand nuclear power in the United States. Drawing on decades of energy research, Bryce explains why the goal of quadrupling nuclear capacity by 2050 is unlikely, but offers a realistic view of the challenges ahead and how we can make meaningful progress.

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?
