The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) provides comprehensive analyses and projections of the nation's energy landscape. Recent reports highlight significant trends and forecasts across various energy sectors, reflecting the dynamic nature of energy production, consumption, and policy in the United States.

For savvy investors seeking to diversify their portfolios and defer capital gains taxes, the IRS 1031 exchange provides an excellent opportunity. For qualified transactions, one of the lesser-known yet advantageous investment options for a 1031 exchange is mineral rights. Here’s why more investors are turning their attention underground, quite literally, by exchanging them for minerals.

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are revolutionizing the way we generate, store, and use energy. As the world shifts towards renewable energy sources, these systems are becoming a critical component in ensuring a stable and reliable energy supply. BESS not only help manage the variability of renewable energy but also play a vital role in creating a resilient and efficient power grid.
