Mexico offers close proximity to U.S. markets, relatively low labor costs and the opportunity to take advantage of low or zero tariffs on made-in-Mexico vehicles. Some of the locations BYD is considering are near the U.S. border. At...

In a concession to automakers and labor unions during an election year, the Biden administration plans to relax elements of its regulations to limit tailpipe emissions that are designed to get Americans to switch from gas-powered cars to electric vehicles. Biden’s EPA is planning to give automakers more time to ramp up sales of electric vehicles. The revised regulations would not require a sharp increase in EV sales until after 2030 . The final rule is expected to be published by early...

The $2 billion conversion of Mexico’s Energia Costa Azul gas terminal into an LNG export facility will open a new, faster means for U.S. natural gas producers to access Asian gas markets, circumventing the Panama Canal. Costa Azul’s conversion is the first of several gas export projects proposed in Mexico, but President Joe Biden’s recent pause on LNG export approvals casts uncertainty over their timelines and development, as these ventures need Energy Department authorization to ship...

WASHINGTON DC (02/15/2024) – Today, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 7176, the Unlocking our Domestic LNG Potential Act of 2024 by a vote of 224 – 200. This bill, introduced by Rep. August Pfluger (R-TX), reverses President Biden’s ban on approvals of exports of liquified natural gas (LNG). Increased U.S. exports reduce global emissions, restore U.S. reliability as an energy supplier to our allies, and lower energy prices for American consumers.
