Europe’s New US LNG Dependency: The Rise of Venture Global The shift from Russian gas has enriched Venture Global. But ongoing arbitration and close Trump ties raise doubts about whether it is the reliable pillar of European energy security it claims to be.

NEW from @datadesk.bsky.social: The EU is increasingly reliant on US companies, like Venture Global, to source its natural gas.

But questionable business practices + close Trump ties raise doubts about whether Venture Global is a reliable partner as Europe seeks energy security. bit.ly/3METakW

Fossil fuel subsidies don’t lower your energy bills—they boost corporate profits. New CAP analysis shows how federal policy has propped up polluting energy while blocking cheaper, cleaner alternatives. Read more from @americanprogress.bsky.social ➡️ www.americanprogress.org/article/5-hi...

In yet another giveaway to his fossil fuel buddies, Trump is rolling out the red carpet for them to drill for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. We have 30 days to make our opposition to his plan clear.

Trump is pushing to open more than a million acres of California’s public lands to new drilling.

California’s leaders don’t control Trump’s agenda, but they can decide how boldly they respond.

Tell BLM: stop new oil leases now.
