EPA denies Cheniere Energy request for LNG pollution waiver
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Environmental Protection Agency on Tuesday denied a request by Cheniere Energy, a leading U.S. producer of liquefied natural gas, to exempt two Gulf Coast plants from a federal air pollution rule.
An EPA spokesman says the agency on Tuesday denied Cheniere’s request to waive a rule that limits emissions of cancer-causing formaldehyde released by gas-fired turbines. Dozens of turbine operators faced a Monday deadline to comply with the formaldehyde rule, which is being reinstated after an 18-year stay.

Recent Suncor fatalities ‘devastating’ for survivors of other workplace tragedies
When Alyssa Grocutt’s father died, the funeral home engraved his fingerprints onto a necklace for her to keep as a memento.
Thirteen years later, Alyssa still wears the necklace daily. It’s the only physical object she now carries with her to remind her of her dad, but in 2008 — in the immediate aftermath of his death at an oilsands site in northern Alberta — her grief was so raw that she clung to anything he had once touched or used.
“There was one screwdriver he had that for the longest time I slept with. I slept in his T-shirts,” says Alyssa, who was 11 years old at the time.

BERLIN (AP) — Finance ministers from the Group of Seven industrial powers on Friday pledged to impose a cap on the price of Russian oil in a bid to limit the Kremlin’s revenues and ability to fund its war in Ukraine, while also curtailing the war’s impact on energy prices and inflation.
The ministers said they would impose the cap by barring insurance or shipping companies from helping Russia sell oil at prices above the set limit.

North Dakota high court backs state in oil company dispute
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s Supreme Court has reversed a lower court decision that sided with a Houston-based energy company over disputed oil and natural gas royalties, a decision that could eventually bring millions of dollars to the state’s public schools and colleges.
The case stems from a lawsuit Newfield Exploration filed against the state after the Department of Trust Lands conducted an audit in 2016 that claimed the company was underpaying royalties to the agency that manages several state trust funds, including one that benefits public schools.

Ottawa to spend $900 million to ‘establish business case’ for EVs, while ignoring robust existing case for LNG
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau isn’t optimistic about LNG exports to Europe because he says there’s no business case.
Even though the Chancellor of Germany just came to Canada asking for LNG to help fill the five new import terminals it is building. And even though companies are ready to invest, if given the right signals.
For electric vehicles, the “business case” measure appears to be quite different.
