A shale gas drilling boom over the last decade has propelled the United States from energy importer to exporter, taking the country a giant leap toward the goal of energy independence declared by presidents for half a century.
Permits to drill wells in the Utica shale in Ohio rose in September to 48 after a slight drop in the month prior, according to data from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.
... those ideas are actually intrinsically linked to oil and natural gas. "Renewables today depend increasingly on natural gas for backup when the sun isn't shining and the wind isn't blowing... So without natural gas or other forms of fossil energy, there would be little, if any, solar or wind energy anywhere."
The 2017 edition of Global Energy Institute's Index of U.S. Energy Security Risk finds that U.S. energy security is continuing to rapidly improve to one of the best scores in decades, after hitting bottom just five years ago.
Not everyone thinks natural gas and oil fit in the clean energy conversation. But the fact is that industry is a clean energy leader, and we lay out the proofs below.
These are our communities - where we work, live, play, learn and grow. Our employees and their families care about where they work and live. Those are important reasons why safety, protecting the environment and public health, and giving back to communities are some of industry's top priorities.
There is a direct connection between carbon reductions and America's energy renaissance. Carbon emissions from power generation have plunged to nearly 30-year lows, and more than 60 percent of the decrease has come from the increased use of clean natural gas.
The Energy Information Administration's (EIA) latest International Energy Outlook 2017 (IEO) is hot off the presses. It provides a look at global trends in energy supply and demand from 2012 out to 2050.
Energy security refers to "the uninterrupted availability of energy sources at an affordable price." But what is an affordable price, and what's the tradeoff between the affordability and reliability of supplies?
Sixty-two of the world's 100 largest companies consistently cut their emissions on an annual basis between 2010 and 2015, with an overall 12 percent decline during that period...
