TX lawmakers set up a program to specifically fund new gas power plants where gas is really cheap. The numbers still don't work.

"Citigroup Inc. analysts, in a research note this week, said the fund was “falling apart” and questioned whether the state would add much gas generation after all."

one thing i found interesting about trump's attempt to use data center demand to save coal is that west virginia actually tried to do something like this last month and a utility executive told them it wouldn't work

Musk's xAI facility now has 35 methane gas generators without permits.

Lawyers say that violates the Clear Air Act.

“xAI has essentially built a power plant in South Memphis with no oversight, no permitting, and no regard for families living nearby”

@iea.org #AI & Energy report shows that data centres will account for ~half of the growth in energy demand in the U.S. in the next 5 years.

GEM's most recent data release shows 85 GW of #gaspower in dev in the U.S., which now ranks second globally, behind China.

DOE has released its long-awaited study on LNG exports.

Key finding: In most scenarios, the amount of LNG that DOE has already approved is more than sufficient to meet global demand for decades to come.
