• U.S. quadruples production of natural gas liquids, the main ingredient in plastic Much of the focus on the U.S.’s natural gas boom has been on what is called “dry” natural gas. That’s consumer-grade natural gas, mainly made up of methane, which is used for home heating, cooking, and electricity generation.

• Virginia lawmakers passed a new law in April to curb air pollution from new and expanding data centers with diesel generators by requiring the strongest possible standards for nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and soot. The new requirements kicked in on July 1. But data center developers saw the deadline coming and raced to beat it, with 19 applications filed this spring that were submitted in time to take advantage of the older, dirtier, and cheaper standards.

• Hawai'i considers tsunami of natural gas with first LNG terminal Hawai’i has one of the most ambitious clean energy goals in the country, aiming for 100 percent renewable electricity by 2045.
