On October 19, 2026, the U.S. Department of Energy announced it will use up to $42 million in Defense Production Act (DPA) Title III funding to advance the long-stalled Constitution Pipeline. The 125-mile natural gas line would move up to 650,000 dekatherms per day of Marcellus Shale gas from northeastern Pennsylvania into New York, connecting […]

What Net-Zero Policies Add to Your Fuel and Power Bill, State by State

October 14, 2026 Clark Savage15

California’s Cap-and-Invest and Low Carbon Fuel Standard added about 47 cents a gallon in July (CEC). Washington’s carbon auction and clean-fuel rules add roughly 36–74 cents. The federal RFS is a separate 1-to-45-cent fight over gross credits versus net pump pass-through. We map the published estimates, keep taxes and refinery closures in their own buckets, […]

October 14, 2026 Clark Savage37

The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) released its 2026–27 Winter Fuels Outlook on October 6, 2026, alongside the October Short-Term Energy Outlook. The outlook paints a mixed picture for household heating costs this winter (November through March).

Nearly $1,700 to Fill the Tank: The Heating Oil Shock Hits Northeast Kitchen Tables

October 8, 2026October 8, 2026 Clark Savage122

Heating oil opened the season at $6.04 a gallon, a record in EIA’s weekly data and 70% above last fall. The government expects oil-heated homes to spend 21% more this winter; the state energy-aid directors say closer to 50%. What is driving it, who gets hit hardest, where to find help, and what could still […]

The Two Grids: Why Policy is Breaking Physics

October 3, 2026 Clark Savage72

Welcome back to the Energy Newsbeat podcast. Today, we’re diving deep into one of the most critical—and misunderstood—issues facing America’s energy future. Most people think the grid is just the wires and power plants they see. But what if I told you two grids are operating at the same time, and they’re increasingly working against […]

NatGas Spikes As Major West Virginia Pipeline Declares Force Majeure

September 24, 2026September 24, 2026 Clark Savage180

TC Energy’s Columbia Gas Transmission (TCO) declared force majeure Thursday after an unexpected mechanical issue on the Mountaineer XPress (MXP) system forced an immediate pressure reduction on Line 100 between the Mt.

Why banning diesel exports would not help consumers

September 22, 2026 Clark Savage126

A diesel export ban is the kind of policy that polls well and trades poorly. With the AAA national average at about $6.53 a gallon as of September 22, 2026 — a record — and California well above $8, the political impulse is obvious: keep more barrels at home. That impulse misunderstands how U.S. refining […]

The UK’s Net Zero Policies Strike Again as Ineos Halts Three Chemical Plants Due to High Energy Costs

Ineos, the chemicals giant owned by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, is idling all three of its world-scale acetyls plants in Hull, northern England. The facilities—Europe’s last remaining plants of their kind—produce essential feedstocks for pharmaceuticals, clothing, cosmetics, detergents, construction materials, and military explosives.

U.S. Fuel Crisis Status, Next Steps and Impact to Consumers

September 18, 2026 Clark Savage246

The United States is not short of crude oil. It is short of spare refining capacity, spare distillate inventory, and spare time. Diesel is the pressure point. National retail diesel is printing all-time highs near $6.40 a gallon. California is above $8.30. Midwest pump prices are breaking state records after ExxonMobil’s Joliet refinery in Illinois […]
