The U.S. is the world’s largest producer of natural gas, but it does not build ships capable of transporting liquefied natural gas, known as LNG, within the country. cbsn.ws/3NvfZrL

Conventional geothermal is limited to rare, shallow hotspots, meeting only ~1% of global electricity demand today Next-generation geothermal aims to overcome this by drilling deeper & accessing hard-to-reach heat, opening the door to wider deployment 👉 iea.li/4afAQH1

We’ve signed a new interagency Memorandum of Understanding with @ENERGY to strengthen information sharing and safety research for nuclear facilities. nrc.gov/docs/ML2602/ML…

US natural gas prices soar to highest level in three years after winter storm ft.trib.al/gtuXgc2

New pipelines are unlocking Haynesville #naturalgas to meet surging LNG demand. Strategic infrastructure investment pays off by delivering reliable energy exactly where it's needed. rbnenergy.com/daily-posts/bl…

🎧 As a major winter storm threatens parts of the US, CGEP fellow @joshdr83 explains why extreme cold poses unique challenges for the Texas power grid—and what's changed since 2021—in an interview with @NPR's @MorningEdition. npr.org/2026/01/22/nx-…

CHART OF THE DAY: US electricity generation mix on Sunday Jan 25th (full day data via @EIAgov). Gas accounted for 41%; coal added 22%, and oil a further 2%, for a total from fossil fuels of 65%. Of course, it is a snapshot, although captures a full day.

The 2025 U.S. Geothermal Market Report is now available, offering an in-depth update on the state of geothermal energy. Explore the interactive web version and the full National Laboratory of the Rockies report: bit.ly/3LG861E

New geothermal map just released. That’s a lot of red. (Red is good)

Every day, millions of hardworking Americans in the oil and natural gas industry power our homes, our economy and our way of life.

When preparing for a severe winter storm, consider that power may go out for many days. Outages during severe cold can be especially difficult. Stay safe: - Close & seal windows & doors - Don’t use a gas stove for heat - Run generators outside - Have a plan for medicine/devices

If you lose power due to the severe winter storm, make sure you know how to use a generator safely! Never use a generator in a wet area. Do not fuel a generator when it is running. Always connect generators to appliances with heavy-duty extension cords. #generator" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">ready.gov/power-outages#…

Venezuela holds ~70% of Latin America's natural gas reserves but much of it goes unused. 💻 In our latest #EnergyExplained blog post, CGEP's Luisa Palacios, @diegorivota & @ira_joseph examine how more efficient use of Venezuela's natural gas could strengthen regional energy security and restore reliability.

AI has the potential to transform the energy sector in the coming decade, driving a surge in electricity demand from data centres globally. In our new video, IEA's @ThomasASpencer explores what AI means for energy – and vice versa. Watch it in full 👉 iea.li/49ui2Vn

Check out Bridget's first episode as interim host of @InterchangeShow, featuring our host @Ed_Crooks. Together, they look into 2026 energy predictions and how AI is changing energy demand, policy priorities and investment decisions. Listen now: woodmac.com/podcasts/the-i…

A major winter storm is expected to impact a wide swath of the country. Electric cooperatives are preparing now, staging crews, coordinating mutual aid, and monitoring conditions to respond as safely and quickly as possible. Check back here for outage and restoration updates.
