Tropical Storm Edouard roared ashore near Port Arthur, Texas, with 60 mph winds and has since dumped as much as 21 inches of rain on parts of southeast Texas, leaving more than 70,000 customers without power and forcing residents in several communities to seek higher ground.

America's natural gas bounty is acting like a moat, largely shielding the U.S. from price spikes while much of the world reels from escalating unrest in the Middle East .

Yes, but: The moat isn't impenetrable. And if substantially more American natural gas gets exported, it could raise heating and electricity bills. The big picture: Fueled by fracking, the U.S. has been the world's largest natural gas producer since 2011. Since 2022, it's also been the largest exporter of liquefied natural gas (LNG), the fastest-growing segment of the global gas trade.…
