Once again, Donald Trump is saving Governor Gavin from himself.


Bloomberg (6/15/25) opinion: "If President Donald Trump follows through on his recent threats to cut off federal funding for California’s long-troubled high-speed rail project, it would be better for all concerned: For all intents and purposes, this thing went off the rails (sorry) a long time ago. Escalating costs have made it clear that no money was or ever would be available to realize the vision of a modern bullet train between Los Angeles and San Francisco. What’s under construction is a segment through California’s Central Valley, where costs are cheap compared to other parts of the system but which offers almost no economic value. The whole thing has become a zombie project that nobody with clout in state politics can either rescue or kill. A hated outsider officially ending it would let the state’s Democrats complain while also allowing them to acknowledge the reality that it’s not going to happen."

"The fastest growing energy supply in the world is natural gas. The world needs more of it and the United States is the place to find it!" 

 

– Energy Secretary Chris Wright

It would be great if leaders at the G7 thought this way.


Heritage Foundation (6/13/25) article: "Thanks to competitively priced Canadian gas, Americans in the Midwest, Mountain West, and Pacific Northwest enjoy lower energy costs. Excess gas flows to the Gulf Coast and Maryland, where it’s liquefied and shipped to Europe and Asia. The United States, with its robust pipeline networks reaching both coasts, is well-positioned to meet Europe’s energy demands—advancing President Trump’s agenda while boosting exports and revenues. Meanwhile, Canada’s expanding infrastructure to its western ports opens the door to supplying key Asian allies like Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. The upcoming G-7 summit is more than a diplomatic gathering—it’s a moment to reaffirm North America’s leadership in the global energy arena."

To think that there are people out there who don't want more energy and more jobs.
Energy Secretary vows that America will soon produce twice as much natural gas as Russia.

If a business fails without government handouts, was it ever really a business? 


Bloomberg (6/09/25) reports: "The US clean energy industry is starting to buckle under the weight of persistently elevated borrowing costs, President Donald Trump’s anti-renewables policies and high tariffs. The latest domino to fall is residential solar company Sunnova Energy International Inc., which filed for bankruptcy early Monday. Its demise follows the Chapter 11 filing last week of Solar Mosaic LLC, one of the biggest lenders in the rooftop solar market. And it’s not just home solar firms running into trouble: Since January, businesses have canceled or delayed more than $14 billion in clean energy and electric vehicle investments, according to a recent analysis by E2, a non-partisan group that advocates for renewables and policies to protect the environment."
