Feds pay lip service, but show little action, Saskatchewan’s energy minister says after energy ministers conference

Feds pay lip service, but show little action, Saskatchewan’s energy minister says after energy ministers conference

The federal, provincial and territorial energy ministers just met in their annual conference, and Saskatchewan’s minister was wholly unimpressed with the result.

Minister of Energy and Resources Jim Reiter spoke to Pipeline Online from St. John’s just after getting out of the conference on July 7, and he was rather incredulous that the federal government hardly even wanted to mention the word “oil” in their drafts of the final communique.

This, despite the fact that the Ukraine war has Europe crying out for energy that is not sourced from Russia.

EU lawmakers back gas, nuclear energy as sustainable

EU lawmakers back gas, nuclear energy as sustainable

European Union lawmakers voted Wednesday to include natural gas and nuclear in the bloc’s list of sustainable activities, backing a proposal from the EU’s executive arm that has been drawing fierce criticism from environment groups and now looks set to trigger legal challenges.

As the EU wants to set the best global standards in the fight against climate change, the decision could tarnish the bloc’s image and question the region’s commitment to reaching climate neutrality by 2050.

OPEC+ oil boost likely not much help to high gasoline prices

OPEC+ oil boost likely not much help to high gasoline prices

NEW YORK (AP) — The OPEC oil cartel and allied producing nations decided Thursday to boost production of crude by an amount that will likely do little to relieve high gasoline prices at the pump and energy-fueled inflation plaguing the global economy.

The increase of 648,000 barrels per day in August leaves the world thirsty for oil as it rebounds from the COVID-19 pandemic and runs up against the inability of the 23-member OPEC+ alliance to meet its production quotas.

OPEC+, which includes Russia, confirmed the decision from its last meeting. Before that, it had been adding about 432,000 barrels per day monthly to put oil back on the market after cutting production dramatically during the height of the pandemic.
