Energy Information Administration During the previous century, the use of oil and natural gas steadily increased. Nuclear power began to ramp up in the mid-1960s. However, that decline is largely a result of natural gas displacing coal at power plants, with the rise of renewable energy making a secondary contribution.

The primary culprits behind coal’s decline are competition from cheap natural gas brought on by the shale gas boom in the U.S., But the natural gas and subsequent oil boom were victims of their own success. Global oil demand fell by as much as 30 million BPD, followed by gas and coal demand.

While renewable power expanded at record rates, fossil fuels maintained an 82% share of total primary energy consumption. Natural gas and coal demand stayed nearly flat with oil rebounding close to pre-pandemic levels. Renewable power (excluding hydro) grew 14% in 2022, slightly below the previous year’s growth rate of 16%.

As the country pushes ahead on boosting new renewable capacity (and closed down its last coal plant last month), energy storage is a must to smooth out generation in the long-term, while also reducing reliance on natural gas to avoid price volatility after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Wind Power ‘Blackout’ Risk Porter told BBC Radio 4 listeners in the interview: “There were risks around blackouts this winter. In April this year Porter wrote in opposition to the UK’s windfall tax on oil and gas companies, arguing that the “windfall tax harms oil and gas production and must be cut”.

They are doubling down on oil and natural gas and investing what amounts to pocket change in innovative climate-oriented efforts like small nuclear power plants and devices that suck carbon out of the air.

The carbon dioxide then is compressed and transported to sites where it is either stored underground, injected into oil and gas deposits for enhanced oil recovery, or used for a limited number of other applications such as beverage carbonation. A natural gas demonstration plant in Texas tests carbon capture technology.

Since the 1960s when Europe first began importing Russian gas, Washington perceived Russian energy as a threat to U.S. More recently, with fracking, the United States has become the world’s largest gas producer and a major exporter of liquefied natural gas (LNG). leadership and Europe’s energy security.
