Alberta pitches cheap natural gas for data center boom

(BOE Report) – Alberta is touting its abundant supply of cheap fossil fuels to entice tech companies to build data centers for the AI boom, a move that would undermine Canada’s plan to link new data center development with clean energy expansion. Canada is the world’s fifth-largest producer of natural gas, around 60% of which comes from Alberta. As well

The U.S. energy system: Stable at home, priced abroad

(Oil & Gas 360) By Greg Barnett, MBA – The latest Monthly Energy Review, released May 26, 2026, does not introduce a new story. It confirms an existing one. The U.S. energy system remains balanced, production remains elevated, and consumption remains flat. On the surface, the system looks calm. That appearance has not changed since the first interpretation of this

Can the world really move on from coal?

(By Oil & Gas 360) – Coal has been written off many times before. Each time, it stayed. Today, the conversation is returning with more urgency. Climate targets, investor pressure, and policy commitments continue pushing toward a future with less coal. But the real question is no longer whether coal use should decline. The question is whether the world is

Colorado’s natural gas fight signals a bigger energy debate

(By Oil & Gas 360) – Colorado’s latest energy battle is quickly becoming about more than natural gas. What began as a proposed ballot measure to create a constitutional “right to natural gas” is now evolving into a broader debate over energy policy, consumer choice, electrification, affordability, and the pace of transition. At the center of the dispute is Initiative
