How Russia’s LNG ‘dark fleet’ disguises its activity
Russia’s “dark fleet” of tankers carrying liquefied natural gas has intensified activity in recent months, circumventing western sanctions to transport fuel from the Arctic LNG 2 project…
This fleet uses complex maneuvers, such as faking ship-to-ship transfers, to obscure the true destinations and recipients of the LNG, challenging tracking efforts.
Demand for power is coming from everywhere…
Between 2023 and 2030, electricity consumption is expected to grow six times faster than total energy demand, compared with two times faster in the 2010-2023 period and 1.4 times faster in 2000-2010.
According to the IEA, the equivalent of the electricity use of the world’s 10 largest cities is being added to global demand each year. The acceleration isn’t about artificial intelligence and data centers as is often lamented.
LISTEN: Anne Bradbury CEO of American Exploration and Production Council speaks on oil production

2025 Energy Policy Blueprint
We recently released our 2025 Energy Policy Blueprint. It’s a resource for the upcoming 119th Congress and the new presidential administration, offering commonsense legislative solutions that address some of the most pressing issues facing American energy.
Check out the ways we can work together in 2025 to create a stronger economy, a safer world, a more reliable electricity grid, and a cleaner environment.
Permitting Reform Primer
Congress must prioritize comprehensive energy permitting reform. American families are still grappling with persistently high consumer energy prices and our electrical grid is being strained by increasing power demand.
Comprehensive permitting reform would modernize federal rules and requirements to provide greater clarity and consistency for federal permits and approvals, and add greater resiliency against frivolous lawsuits that plague these projects with near endless opportunity for delay.
Check out our blog to learn how we can work together to enact commonsense permitting reform.
American Council for Capital Formation (ACCF)
The American Council for Capital Formation (ACCF) recently hosted a series of live public discussion forums focusing on pivotal areas of the U.S. economy.
AXPC CEO Anne Bradbury sat down for an interview with Kyle Isakower, Senior Vice President, Regulatory and Energy Policy at ACCF to discuss the road ahead in 2025 for domestic energy policy: how we can continue reducing energy emissions, the need for NEPA reform, unleashing LNG, and more.

On the Ground in PA
Rig Tour with Congressional Staff
A bipartisan group of Congressional staff recently toured natural gas drilling and production sites in Southwest Pennsylvania.
The energy industry has a profound impact on Pennsylvania’s economy:
- Oil and natural gas supports 424,000 jobs.
- $75 billion injected into the state’s economy.
- In 2023 alone, there were $2.3 billion in royalties to more than 186,000 farmers, families, and landowners in Pennsylvania.
