April 7, 2023 - Researchers found that current commitments by nations to wind down the use of coal-fired power aren’t enough to meet either of the Paris Agreement’s key targets. In fact, Earth is on track to significantly overshoot critical climate targets largely because not enough coal plants are being retired.

April 4, 2023 - As global demand for LNG continues to intensify, the U.S. announced a renewed commitment to send large supplies of liquefied natural gas to its European allies. These supplies were critical to avoiding an energy emergency in Europe last winter and will continue to provide the energy needed for the continent to reduce its reliance on Russia.

March 29, 2023 - Alex Herrgott, President and CEO of the Permitting Institute and PAGE Advisory Council member, shares his optimism that meaningful permitting reform legislation will pass, which would help solve energy shortages, price instability, supply constraints, and increased construction costs.

March 21, 2023 - Natural gas production in the Marcellus Shale has already created hundreds of thousands of jobs across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Jeff Kotula, President of the Washington County Chamber of Commerce, advocates for regulatory reforms that will support pipeline infrastructure buildout. By doing so, he argues that Pennsylvania can fully realize the job creation potential of the natural gas infrastructure.

March 7, 2023 - Naomi Boness, Managing Director at the Stanford Natural Gas Initiative and PAGE Advisory Council member, explains that increasing U.S. LNG exports is necessary to reduce the impact of Russia’s aggression and improve global energy security.

February 27, 2023 - Kevin Sunday, Director of Government Affairs at the Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry, encourages policymakers to expand U.S. exports of natural gas from the Marcellus shale to our European allies.

February 25, 2023 - PAGE Advisory Council member Sasha Mackler advocates for bipartisan efforts to permit new natural gas pipelines, increase efforts to decarbonize gas production and use, and expand export infrastructure to bring gas to key markets.

February 13, 2023 - An op-ed in the Center Square highlights State Advisory Council member, Steamfitters 420, and its hundreds of members who possess the expertise and skills necessary to build needed LNG infrastructure.

February 10, 2023 - PAGE Advisory Council member Paul Bledsoe discusses the climate benefits of America’s shale gas revolution and the emissions reduction potential of expanding U.S. liquefied natural gas exports.

January 21, 2023 - Currently, a lack of pipeline infrastructure is the primary obstacle to supplying vital natural gas, which is also a key component in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions globally. Ultimately, more distribution infrastructure means a more useable supply of energy and lower prices, including greater energy security and lower CO2 emissions.

January 19, 2023 - Sen. Joe Manchin, a Democrat representing West Virginia, said the U.S. must continue its production of oil and natural gas as it pursues cleaner energy solutions in order to be in a better place to help its allies. Mr. Manchin spoke on a panel at the World Economic Forum in Davos to address the global energy crisis, including climate change and geopolitical conflict.

January 6, 2023 – Short-term emission reductions are dependent on transitioning to cleaner power plants. But last year saw something like a tug-of-war between renewables and coal. A record amount of renewable generation prevented some 600 million tons in additional CO2 emissions, or roughly what Germany produces in a year, according to the IEA. But the world also set a record for coal generation, with Asia and Europe turning to the carbon-intense fuel in the face of high natural gas prices.

January 2, 2023 – The US tied Qatar as the world’s top exporter of liquefied natural gas last year, a milestone for the meteoric rise of America as a major supplier of the fuel. Both countries exported 81.2 million tons in 2022, according to ship-tracking data compiled by Bloomberg.

December 26, 2022 – PAGE Advisory Council member and Executive Director of the Energy Program at the Bipartisan Policy Center, Sasha Mackler, discusses the importance of expanding natural gas investments to meet short-term energy demands and long-term emissions reduction targets.

December 19, 2022 – Global coal use is on course to increase by 1.2% to hit a record high this year, according to a report from the International Energy Agency. It comes at a time of significant volatility and uncertainty in global energy markets, with the IEA stating that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in Feb. 2022 had “sharply altered the dynamics of coal trade, price levels, and supply and demand patterns in 2022.”
