Coal and Nuclear PowerIt appears that Trump's support for "clean" coal is also negatively impacting natural gas demand. The sector now has to wait for a change in US administration on top of the pipelines to see better market price and demand:
"With the attempts to revive the nuclear industry, the current U.S. Administration is pitting natural gas against nuclear, and what was President Obama’s war on coal is now turning into a war on natural gas, energy expert Dan Eberhart writes in Forbes.
To be sure, natural gas and record gas production is also at the top of the Administration’s energy-independence agenda. The potential support of uncompetitive nuclear and coal power, however, could distort the free-market-based electricity generation and work against the energy independence ambitions, Eberhart argues."
