  North Dakota Attorney General Drew Wrigley said his office is evaluating legal options against South Dakota's ban on using eminent domain for carbon dioxide pipelines, calling the law a "hostile act" that restricts interstate commerce. The measure threatens Summit Carbon Solutions' proposed five-state pipeline network to move carbon emissions from ethanol plants to underground storage in North Dakota. South Dakota leaders defended the law as a defense of private property rights.

• AI Boom Bodes Well for U.S. Gas Industry

  Soaring U.S. electricity demand from AI data centers and onshored manufacturing will stimulate development and lead to faster approvals of natural gas infrastructure, positioning gas to capture much of the $700 billion in grid investment Goldman Sachs projects through 2030.

• ☕️What Else is Brewing Wednesday Morning
  JPow sees a “challenging situation.” Jerome Powell...
  JPow sees a “challenging situation.” Jerome Powell is not mad, he’s just frazzled. At a conference in Rhode Island yesterday, the Federal Reserve chair said the central bank’s decision to cut interest rates last week was driven by the weakening labor market, which outweighed concerns over inflation. “Two-sided risks mean that there is no risk-free path,” Powell added. Low employment and high inflation present an ongoing challenge to the Fed’s ability to determine monetary policy, though Powell said it’s still “well positioned” to respond to economic developments, like tariffs. Markets did not love what JPow had to say, as all three major indexes fell as he spoke.
