A conservative journal championing American prosperity, oil and gas, energy security and free enterprise.
Federal energy records from 2026 show two things at once: U.S. LNG exports have risen sharply, and a large share of planned new gas-pipeline capacity starts in Texas. The same records also show why investors and policymakers should separate plans, authorizations and measured flows.
Federal energy records point to another record year for U.S. crude output, but they also show why that headline should not be mistaken for measured results or easy fuel relief. EIA’s own forecast pairs higher oil production with tighter distillate supplies and higher expected diesel prices.
The White House and Energy Department announced a sweeping Venezuela oil deal, and Treasury later listed new Venezuela general licenses. The available federal record supports a pathway for talks and some transactions, but it does not publicly prove completed ownership transfers, enforceable concessions, payments, or new production.
BOEM’s September 24 BBG3 posting adds a fresh administrative step to the August 12 Gulf lease sale that Interior said drew $82.69 million in high bids.

New Canadian guidance addresses vendor assessment before a service is adopted. A completed questionnaire and responsibility for the resulting data use are not the same thing.
The OPC's August submission on Canada's Privacy Act addresses both high-risk assessments and transparency. An internal assessment and an explanation available to an affected person perform different jobs.
Canadian consultation comments distinguish confirming a customer's identity from defining the information a customer permits a service to use. The two controls cannot be read as substitutes.
The regulator has scheduled its transition to the Information Commission for September 30. Its announcement distinguishes governance changes from continuing regulatory functions.
The ICO's final storage and access guidance covers several technologies and purposes. A dated claim about banners cannot establish every site's wider handling of information.
A September ICO commentary connects wearable technology with accessibility. A recording indicator that exists and an explanation someone can perceive are different design questions.
The European Data Protection Board's September announcement concerns when a fine is appropriate. Its existing calculation guidance addresses another stage, and the two publication statuses differ.
Council of Europe experts are developing a recommendation for the digital environment. Counting available outlets and examining what audiences encounter are separate measurement questions.
Canada's privacy regulator is investigating IDScan.net. Its announcement raises two different evidentiary questions: how information was protected and what affected people were told.
