Energy Update: Week of May 2nd

Friends,

Hope everyone enjoyed the WH Correspondents Dinner… I missed this year, but I’ll be ready next year while it can be a little less of a superspreader.  I did watch from home late Saturday and loved Trevor Noah’s bit.  He was very funny, including his last joke which most people may have missed saying “be careful leaving tonight because we know this Administration is not good with evacuations.”  Well Done…

It is May and May flowers means Running for the Roses in Louisville. On Saturday, the 148^th Kentucky Derby launches Saturday around 6:30 p.m.  See the preview section just below.

This week is busy.  Sorry I am a little late today, but we had a hydrogen event with Sen. Coons and Rep. Blunt-Rochester (or LBR as she says) at Air Liquide’s Delaware Innovation Campus this morning.  It was a great event with Coons driving a huge heavy-duty hydrogen truck cab, which ended up being his transportation to his next meeting in the First State with EPA Administrator Michael Regan.

Congress is out this week but the Senate primary in Ohio is tomorrow.  Speaking of primaries, interestingly, Joe Manchin weighed into the WV member-member primary (remember, WV is losing a seat in Congress), endorsing Rep. David McKinley over Alex Mooney.    

A bipartisan group of senators led by Senate Energy Chair Manchin are talking again today on potential energy and climate legislation.  Despite being out, Congress continues its effort of hearings and markups looking at both the administration’s budget request and Democrats’ attempt to address high gasoline prices.   After two stops in at House Committees last week, Energy Sect. Granholm treks back up to the Hill on Wednesday to see the Senate Approps Committee and Thursday before the Senate Energy Committee.

OPEC meets on Thursday to approve another 430,000 barrel-a-day incremental production increase which has spurred the Senate Judiciary Committee to revisit the No Oil Producing and Exporting Cartels (NOPEC) Act legislation. The bill allows the Justice Department to sue oil cartels for antitrust violations. Interestingly, drillers have added natural gas and oil rigs for 21 straight months, according to Baker Hughes, with the total rig count up 59% over last year.

Finally, Senate Environment discusses WRDA on Wednesday at holds a field earing on Friday looking at community concerns about decommissioning nuclear power plants in Plymouth, MA (of course featuring the Pilgrim plant which closed in 2019).

Great announcement just now from DOE on Battery mineral domestic manufacturing and supply chain.  Call if you need resources.

Best,

Frank Maisano

DERBY PREVIEW

On Saturday, the 148^th Kentucky Derby launches Saturday around 6:30 p.m. Right now, it is a 20-horse field but that may change as the draw occurs on Wednesday.

Field Favorites – Right now, Epicenter is the early favorite after he used tactical speed to get a victory in the Louisiana Derby. With his speed and style, he may be the one to beat.  Zandon won the Blue Grass Stakes when he rallied from last in an 11-horse field to win. In his other two Derby preps, he finished second and third, but had less than ideal trips. Zandon will need to buck the current trend of Derby winners pressing the pace and get an ideal trip while trying to rally from behind. Taiba sat behind the pace and then passed the favorites to win the Santa Anita Derby. With two-time Kentucky Derby winning jockey Mike Smith in the saddle, Taiba has the traits of past Derby winners from California.

Messier finished first or second in all six of his starts, including the Santa Anita. In all of those races, he was part of the pace, either pressing the leader or stalking a few lengths from behind the front. He was run down by Taiba after getting the lead in the stretch. Messier never ran in field larger than six, so his success depends on his securing a position near the front in the early going. Mo Donegal closed from last in the Wood Memorial at Aqueduct to run down the pacesetter. All three of his wins were at New York tracks and he usually gets away from the gate slowly which means that he will get far behind in the early going and will require lots of racing luck to work out an uneventful trip. White Abarrio won four times at Gulfstream Park, including Florida Derby, sitting a couple of lengths behind the lead, then taking control/running away in the stretch. He has the right running style for success in the Derby. Critics will note that his lone loss came at Churchill Downs, but he did not have an ideal trip in his first try in a stakes race.

Horses for the Exotics – Several horses have the juice to run in contention, especially in exotic bets.  Cyberknife burst on the Derby scene when he closed to win the Arkansas Derby. He has tons of talent but is mentally immature. Facing a field of 20 and a crowd of 150,000 people might not be an ideal setting for him. Smile Happy stayed closer to the pace than usual and was able to get the lead in the stretch at Keeneland but could not hold off the late run by Zandon. In his four-race career, he never finished worse than second. It is likely that in the Derby he will be in the second flight of horses, but perfect for a superfecta or wheel bets. Charge It is the well-bred son of Tapit who it green but impressed in the Florida Derby and his upside potential is solid.

Speed Kills – Six of the last eight horses to cross the finish line first in the Kentucky Derby have come from California. If speed figures are correct, it could be more of the same in 2022. Messier and Taiba lead all contenders in the Beyer Speed Figure department.

The Long Shots -- Among long shots, Zozos has the best chance to spring an upset.  While I normally stay away from Japanese horses, Crown Pride might be worth a look given his recent success.  Finally, Simplification found success racing from a stalking position and from the front end. In the Florida Derby he dueled for the lead, got there, but then was caught nearing the wire. His tactical speed will help him to secure a safe, early position in the Derby.

Pretenders – The easiest way to starting figuring winners out in a 20-horse field is to eliminate the horses that are certainly likely to be out of the money.  Among these with early speed but likely to fade: Early Voting, Summer Is Tomorrow, Classic Causeway and Pioneer Of Medina. These runners have plenty of ability but will not be at their best at the 1 1/4-mile distance on the dirt: Tiz the Bomb, Tawney Port.  Finally, these horses probably just not fast enough: Happy Jack, Un Ojo, Barber Road.

PREDICTION: Not ready to make predictions yet.  I start laying cash after the draw.  Early going, I like Messier with a wheel on Epicenter and White Albarrio.  I am including Charge It and Zozos in my exotics and my superfecta wheel…  Good luck and enjoy the Mint Julips!!!

FRANKLY SPOKEN

“The requirement is by May 19 to submit an application, or you miss the opportunity to draw down any federal funds if you want to extend the life of that plant. We would be remiss not to put that on the table as an option.”

Gov. Gavin Newsom to the L.A. Times editorial board Thursday implying California may attempt to delay the long-planned closure of: the Diablo Canyon nuclear plant, California’s largest electricity source, by seeking a share of $6 billion in federal funds meant to rescue nuclear reactors facing closure, money the Biden administration announced this month.

ON THE PODCAST

RFF: Energy’s Role in Defense Production Act – In this week’s episode of RFF’s Resources Radio, host Daniel Raimi talks with Ty Priest, associate professor of history and geography at the University of Iowa. Priest explains the origin, history, and potential future of the Defense Production Act in the context of US energy development.

FUN OPINIONS

ACORE Head Says Solar Tariffs Threaten Progress – American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE) head Gregory Wetstone wrote an opinion column in the Washington Examiner that highlights the devastating impacts that the solar industry is facing from the U.S. Department of Commerce, arguing in favor of a swift end to the investigation. "It is a tragic irony that the most immediate and sweeping threat to President Joe Biden’s clean energy and climate agenda comes from a little-noticed but devastating decision at the Biden administration’s Commerce Department that is bringing America’s booming solar growth to a screeching halt. Without such prompt action to reassure the clean energy marketplace, U.S. renewable energy deployment in 2022 is likely to drop precipitously from not only 2021 levels, but also from levels achieved through the prior four years. A setback of this magnitude will put the Biden administration’s clean energy goals out of reach, undermine one of the country’s fastest-growing sources of new jobs, and make it all but impossible to achieve the emission reductions scientists say are necessary to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.”

FROG BLOG

Carper, Kennedy: Senate Must Ratify Kigali HFC Phasedown Treaty – In an op-ed in the Washington Times, Sens. Tom Carper and John Kennedy write win-win opportunities aren’t easy to find in politics, but sometimes single solutions exist to help tackle several challenges. Cleaning up super-polluting hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) is one of those rare solutions that will boost our economy and help protect our planet. The Senate should ratify this amendment for the same reasons that Congress passed the AIM Act. Formalizing America’s support for the Kigali Amendment would reduce greenhouse gas emissions, boost U.S. exports, strengthen America’s manufacturing industry, and create more jobs for workers here at home.

IN THE NEWS

DOE Rolls Out Domestic Battery Manufacturing, Supply Chain Funding – DOE announced $3.16 billion in funding from President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to make more batteries and components in America, bolster domestic supply chains, create good-paying jobs, and help lower costs for families. The infrastructure investments will support the creation of new, retrofitted, and expanded commercial facilities as well as manufacturing demonstrations and battery recycling. DOE is also announcing a separate $60 million to support second-life applications for batteries once used to power EVs, as well as new processes for recycling materials back into the battery supply chain.

SoCalGas CEO Joins Wall Street Journal CEO Council – Southern California Gas Co. (SoCalGas) CEO Scott Drury was recently selected to join the Wall Street Journal's CEO Council. The Wall Street Journal CEO Council brings together the most influential decision makers from around the world. Members of the CEO Council represent companies from a cross-section of industries that collectively employ more than 11 million people and generate more than $3 trillion in annual revenue. "To tackle big issues from climate change to energy security we need bold, dynamic and inclusive leadership; and that is exactly what Scott Drury brings to the table," said former California Governor Gray Davis. Davis is the 2022 Co-Chair of the Southern California Leadership Counsel. "Scott's commitment to sustainability, innovation and community have positioned SoCalGas as a national leader on the path to net zero emissions and have contributed to California's reputation as a forerunner in a clean energy transition."

DOE Approves Two More LNG Expansions – DOE announced more authorized additional exports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Golden Pass LNG Terminal near Port Arthur, Texas, and Magnolia LNG Terminal in Lake Charles, Louisiana.  The Orders will allow the terminals to export additional natural gas as LNG to any country not prohibited by U.S. law or policy. API’s Dustin Meyer said:.

“The additional permits granted today are an important step forward, and further progress could send a clear and powerful signal that America is serious about strengthening global energy security while supporting emissions reductions. We will continue working with the administration to ensure a timely and efficient permitting system to advance not only U.S. LNG projects, but also the pipeline infrastructure needed to sustain export growth.”

API has Already Been Active On LNG, Permits – Earlier this week, API filed comments to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) raising concerns that the Commission’s recently proposed policy changes would undermine development of the natural gas infrastructure and facilities that are needed to increase supply here in the U.S. and expand LNG exports to our allies overseas. In addition, API has raised concerns that revised NEPA regulations will slow the permitting process for critical energy infrastructure dramatically and create new obstacles for natural gas development.

API, AOPL Report Shows Strengthened Pipeline Safety Performance – The American Petroleum Institute (API) and the Association of Oil Pipe Lines released their annual 2021 Pipeline Safety Excellence Performance Report, which found that the safety of liquids pipelines increased across several key indicators. Thanks to an industry culture of “safety first, safety always” and a commitment to zero incident operations, liquids pipeline incidents impacting people or the environment have declined by 31% over the past five years, even while pipeline mileage and barrels per day have increased nearly 10%.  

Crabtree Confirmed to DOE Fossil-Carbon Management Office – Most interestingly, this LNG action allowed Sen. Ted Cruz to release a Senate hold on Brad Crabtree, President Joe Biden's nominee to be assistant Energy secretary for fossil energy and carbon management.  Crabtree was overwhelmingly confirmed by the Senate on Thursday evening. 

CRES Makes Endorsements – Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions (CRES) released its first round of congressional endorsements for the 2022 election cycle. The endorsements include five Republican members of the Senate and 12 Republican members of the House. Each of the 17 candidates endorsed by CRES have shown a commitment to strengthening America’s clean energy industry and reducing emissions by supporting free-market policies that unlock greater research, development, and deployment of the next generation of clean energy technologies. The first 2022 candidates endorsed by CRES include Senators John Boozman (AR), Mike Crapo (ID), Chuck Grassley (IA), Lisa Murkowski (AK) and John Thune (SD), while House members include Reps.

Vogtle Nuke Plant Looks to Be Ready for Operation – In his 1Q earnings call, Southern Co. CEO Tom Fanning said Unit 3 of Southern's Vogtle Nuclear Power Plant in Georgia is expected to come online by the end of 2022 or early 2023 and Unit 4 will come online by the end of 2023. "Importantly, the projected completion timeline and capital cost forecast for both units are unchanged from the updates that we provided last quarter," said Fanning. The addition of two 1,100-MW units at Vogtle is the only utility-scale nuclear power construction project underway in the U.S., and when complete would represent the first U.S. major new nuclear power plant project finished in more than 30 years.
