Explore the key insights from the 2023 Statistical Review of World Energy in this article, focusing on the dynamics of natural gas production, consumption, and reserves.

In 2022, U.S. production grew by 3.6% to a new all-time high of 94.7 billion cubic feet per day.

When burned, that’s 60,000 tons CO2/day.

      why does everyone think executive departments dont have any authority over anything. The Department of Energy has authority over US energy policy and production. Yes giving the president this authority is democratic, it’s a goddamn elected position!

            yes, this is where the laws come from the president enforces. the president is an enforcer. a president who acts without congress is authoritarian

                they can set and enforce efficiency standards, yes. do you think that’s going to fix us emissions?

                    What do you think that means? Said another way, what kinds of authorities do you think setting and enforcing national energy policy gives them? (Hint: Dictating efficiencies for equipment and appliances is one of their authorities)
