"Here's How Trump's 'Greatest' Tariffs Can Hike Emissions" [1]

"The oil and gas industry is looking for a mind reader.

It thought that companies pursuing projects to help President Trump reach his "energy dominance" goal might get a free pass when it comes to his controversial steel tariffs. That might not be the case. At least one pipeline builder is wrestling with Trump's competing messages: Pump more oil, but your steel will cost more.

A ruling by the Commerce Department earlier this month has sent the industry into a frenzy, after the agency rejected a request by Plains All American Pipeline LP to be exempted from paying new steel tariffs imposed by Trump. It underscores the tension between oil and gas firms and a White House that shares its vision for expanded fossil fuel development while simultaneously erecting trade barriers."
