Reuters ([link removed]) (4/8/25) reports: "U.S. President Donald Trump will sign executive orders on Tuesday aimed at boosting the nation's coal industry, sources familiar with the matter told Reuters. Trump, who campaigned on a promise to increase U.S. energy production and has sought to roll back a wide range of energy and environmental regulations since taking office January 20, is scheduled to sign energy related orders at the White House at 3 p.m., the White House said...The orders will include efforts to save coal plants that were likely to be retired, said the sources, who requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly. They will also direct Energy Secretary Chris Wright to determine whether coal used in steel production is a "critical mineral", the White House official said. In addition, they will direct Interior Secretary Doug Burgum to acknowledge the end of a
moratorium that paused new coal leasing - which allows private companies to buy the right to extract coal - on federal lands, and to prioritize the leasing."

(4/8/25) article: "Over the past decade, Mexican imports of U.S. natural gas, mostly via pipelines, have jumped thanks to new pipelines built between the U.S. and Mexico. Gas is the primary source of power generation in Mexico, accounting for 60% of all electricity output. But more than 70% of Mexico’s natural gas consumption is imported from the U.S., according to Mexican government data. The reliance on U.S. pipeline gas is set to rise further, as pipeline connections expand but Mexican production declines, Fitch Ratings said in February. 'U.S. gas imports provide a reliable, cost-effective source of energy for Mexico, but exposes the country to exchange-rate volatility and supply disruptions amid increasing uncertainties over bilateral trade relations,' the rating agency said, before the U.S. slapped tariffs on Mexico and Canada in March."
Jaguar can blame the tariffs all they want, but we all know they're pausing shipments to the U.S. because their rebrand is so awful nobody was buying them anyway...

(4/5/25) reports: "Jaguar Land Rover, the British luxury automaker, said on Saturday that it was pausing shipments to the United States in April, days after President Trump’s auto tariffs went into effect. 'The U.S.A. is an important market for JLR’s luxury brands,' the company said in a statement. 'As we work to address the new trading terms with our business partners, we are enacting our short-term actions, including a shipment pause in April, as we develop our mid- to longer-term plans.' The United States is the largest single-country export market for British cars, with 6.4 billion pounds ($8.3 billion) worth of vehicles shipped there in 2023. That’s about a tenth of Britain’s overall exports in goods to the United States."

(4/7/25) article: "African Energy Chamber founder and executive director NJ Ayuk is tired of European and American green energy pontificators demanding that Africa forgo developing its oil, coal, natural gas, and even nuclear resources. Maybe that’s why Ayuk has led a delegation to Moscow to secure energy partnerships. An AEC press release notes that the visit aligns with its goal of attracting diverse energy investments to meet Africa’s energy needs and augments ongoing efforts to increase Russian involvement in the continent’s energy market. In their zeal to reach the mythical global 'net zero' carbon emissions, the West demanded that Africa, which generates less than 3% of world carbon dioxide emissions, sacrifice its abundant oil and gas resources while building 'renewable' projects to generate carbon credits for the benefit of European industry."
