U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports rose nearly 16% last month to a record high, according to preliminary Refinitiv data, with shipments to Europe continuing to dominate.

U.S. LNG is in high demand as European countries try to cut gas imports from Russia following its invasion of Ukraine while also looking to rebuild low inventories.

U.S. LNG exports to all destinations were about 7.43 million tonnes (MT) last month, according to Refinitiv, up from 6.4 MT in February and topping the prior record of 7.25 MT in January.

Tesla, the fastest growing automaker in the USA, has recorded record deliveries of its electric vehicles in the last quarter of 2021. Announced that it was the best sales volume ever.

The 308,600 units were a much smaller fraction of that, driven primarily by growth in Model Y hatchbacks and Model 3 sedans, the statement said.

It was stated that it was delivered to customers along with the expensive Model S and Model X, which sold for about $100,000 each.

In August, President Biden signed an executive order that set a target to make 50 percent of all new vehicles sold in the United States in 2030 zero-emission vehicles—and ironically garnering the support of some of the biggest names in auto.

In America, Joe Biden said back in August, “The future of the auto industry is electric,” adding the point that those vehicles will be made in America.

To that end, the Department of Energy’s Vehicle Technologies Office has listed 13 new battery plant projects that are scheduled to be completed within the next 5 years.

China will release crude oil from its reserves according to its needs, a foreign ministry spokesman said on Wednesday, adding that the country was in close communication with oil-producing and oil-consuming countries.

Speaking in a daily press briefing, foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian again declined to comment on whether China was participating in the oil stocks releases coordinated by the United States.

“The Chinese side will organise a release of crude oil from state reserves according to its own actual needs,” said Zhao, adding that it would publish relevant information without delay.

Cop26 may involve dozens of world leaders, cost billions of pounds, generate reams of technical jargon and be billed as the last chance to prevent calamitous global heating, but at its simplest the climate conference in Glasgow is a debate about dialling up or dialling down risk.

The primary objective of Cop26 is to nudge the world as low as possible within this target band, which was established under the Paris agreement.

US-headquartered global car manufacturer Ford has announced that it will invest $11.4 billion to produce electric vehicles for the US market. The investment will allow Ford to build 4 new manufacturing facilities for electric vehicles and batteries, and create 11,000 jobs by 2025.

The automaker will build its biggest production facility in Tennessee and two battery packs in Kentucky. The projects will be implemented in partnership with the South Korean firm SK Innovation.

President Joe Biden campaigned on a promise to restore U.S. leadership in the global fight against climate change and followed up with a dizzying number of executive orders and lofty targets to slash emissions.

But nine months into his presidency, political, legal, and economic obstacles have forced his administration to make several moves in support of fossil fuels development at home and abroad, and raised questions about whether the Democrat will be able to meet his commitments to clean energy.

Based on already planned and announced retirements, less than half of the U.S. coal-fired power generation capacity that existed at the start of 2015 will remain online by 2035, a new S&P Global Market Intelligence analysis shows.

Utilities are rapidly closing coal-fired power plants, and while 2020 and 2021 offer a relative reprieve from retirements compared to 2018 and 2019, utilities already have over 10 GW of announced retirement plans lined up in each of 2022 and 2023.

When President Obama conceived of the New Energy Economy in 2009, the opposition labeled it as radical — something that would bankrupt the country for an amorphous goal. But since 2005, the United States has reduced its annual energy-related CO2 levels by 14% while its economy has grown by 28%.

Public policies are encouraging investment in clean energy alternatives, prompting utilities to buy solar-and-wind-powered electricity — fuels that have dropped precipitously in price and that are now increasingly economic.

The U.S. solar market surpassed 100 GWdc of installed electric generating capacity, doubling the size of the industry over the last three-and-a-half years, according to the U.S. Solar Market Insight Q2 2021 report, released today by the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and Wood Mackenzie.

Solar had a record-setting Q1 2021 and accounted for 58% of all new electric capacity additions in the United States. Renewable energy accounted for nearly 100% of all new electric capacity in Q1.

The true measure of President Biden’s climate ambition may be the clean electricity standard he tucked into his massive $2.2 trillion infrastructure spending plan. Its goal is striking: 80% clean power in the United States by 2030.

The details, however, are vague. And so is Biden’s plan B if it fails—an uncertainty that’s worrisome to both activists and academics. The lack of a clear backup plan underscores the importance of passing a clean electricity standard, they say.

The U.S. wants to expand its offshore wind capacity to 30 gigawatts by 2030, a move the Biden administration hopes will generate thousands of jobs and unlock billions of dollars in investment in coming years.

The target, announced by the Departments of Energy, Interior and Commerce on Monday, represents a significant ramp-up of America’s fledgling offshore wind industry, which trails other parts of the world.
