Toxic coal ash is making its way to Florida from Puerto Rico. Experts warn of its adverse health effects

February 9, 2020

CBS Oil & Gas Publishers Note: This story from CBS is an excellent example of bad business practices that give the energy sector a bad name. The energy, and oil & gas producers have enough problems improving their practices to help improve investor and public opinion of their firms. The AES power plant in Puerto Rico generates 300,000 tons of coal ash, the

The Middletown Press “ISO-New England estimates that some 7,000 megawatts of electricity from higher-polluting coal- and oil-fired plants will be retired in the near future – creating a need for [NTE’s] cleaner, more efficient power,” Eves said. “To halt the Killingly project at this point would compromise power supply and reliability not just for the state of Connecticut but the entire

EIA’s Annual Energy Outlook 2020 projects consumption growing more slowly than production

January 29, 2020

EIA The AEO2020 Reference case projects domestic energy demand to grow 0.3% per year on average through 2050, slower than the average annual growth of 1.9% in U.S. gross domestic product. This projection is largely driven by continued increases in energy efficiency in the end-use sectors The AEO2020 Reference case, which serves as a baseline for exploring the effects of
