Energy Transfer pivots away from LNG exports
Source: Google Maps (Lake Charles LNG facility) Energy Transfer’s decision to step back from the Lake Charles LNG export project is telling. ET had lined up two large off-takers, yet sought equity partners to absorb roughly 80% of the project risk. When that structure failed to clear, management chose to pivot—redirecting capital toward U.S. data center growth and other domestic demand opportunities rather than doubling down on LNG exports. This raises a timely question: is t

Heat Miser vs. Freeze Miser… who’s winning?
Source: www.WXcharts.com As December 2025 unfolds, the U.S. weather pattern feels familiar—but not identical—to what we experienced in January 2025. The same climate “players” are on the field, yet their alignment is subtly different, shifting the balance between warmth and cold. Below is a side-by-side snapshot of the key atmospheric drivers. Climate Indices: Then vs. Now ENSO • Mid-Dec 2025: Weak La Niña continues • Jan 2025: La Niña firmly in place Arctic Oscillation (AO)

Understanding Spark, Dark, Clean-Spark & Clean-Dark Spreads: Why They Matter in Power & Energy Markets
Source: Tradingview.com (ERCOT North Spark Spread) In energy markets, spreads such as spark and dark (and their “clean” variants) reveal the economic incentives for power-plant dispatch. They also act as support or resistance levels for underlying fuels — especially natural gas. Spark Spread The spark spread measures the theoretical margin for a gas-fired generator. Formula: Spark Spread = Electricity Price − (Natural Gas Price × Heat Rate) Dark Spread The dark spread applie

Operational Flow Orders: Why They Matter for Pipeline Reliability
Source: www.pivotalweather.com Pipeline systems depend on balance—too much gas in or too much taken out can threaten pressure, integrity, and firm service. That’s why operators issue Operational Flow Orders (OFOs), a critical tool to stabilize system conditions during stress. Why OFOs Are Called OFOs typically arise when linepack is tight, weather spikes demand, storage swings are limited, or shippers’ receipts and deliveries drift out of balance. When these conditions thr

The probability of conflict: How predictive markets reflect geopolitical realities
Source: GROK Predictive markets are increasingly shaping how analysts interpret geopolitical risk—often offering clearer, faster signals than traditional intelligence channels. Nowhere is this more evident than in markets tracking the probability of a Chinese invasion of Taiwan. Platforms like Polymarket, Kalshi, Manifold, and Metaculus aggregate thousands of independent forecasts. While each uses different mechanisms, all point to the same broad takeaway: low near-term proba

China’s LNG Pause: A Market Reset, Not a Collapse
Source: IEA After years as the driver of global LNG growth, China has eased off the throttle in 2025. Imports have slipped as domestic gas production rises, pipeline flows from Russia expand, industrial demand softens, and rapid renewable additions cut into gas-fired power. Cargoes once destined for China are increasingly redirected to Europe, Japan, South Korea, and emerging Asia.
