We’re still coming to grips with understanding how the power generation market works with respect to providing electricity for AI data centers. Data centers can potentially be huge and important new customers for natural gas—especially Marcellus/Utica molecules, as some 25% of all the data centers currently operating in the country are located in northern Virginia, where they use M-U molecules. Ten days ago, we brought you a post to help you better understand the various scenarios for how powergen gets provided to these data centers (see 
At the end of December, Venture Global’s Plaquemines LNG export facility officially shipped its first cargo…to Germany (see 
For years, we’ve warned you about the potential for insanely high natural gas costs and even blackouts in New England. We’ve written post after post after post about Massachusetts then-Attorney General (now Governor) Maura Healey, a radical leftist who has consistently blocked new pipeline projects that would deliver cheap, clean, abundant Marcellus gas to her state (
An Austrian-based company claims its hydrogen-to-power projects are demonstrating the viability of using hydrogen gas engines, with some installations in Germany, the Netherlands, and South Korea using 100% hydrogen. At a company-hosted event, representatives discussed how natural gas-fired plants are adaptable for future hydrogen conversion and detailed the technical modifications required to support this energy transition. There is at least one gas-fired power plant in the Marcellus/Utica experimenting with blending hydrogen with natgas, the Long Ridge Energy Terminal in Monroe County, OH, (see
