The proliferation of new data centers is making it hard to estimate the growth in global power demand. The Energy Transfer deal with Cloudburst promised 450 billion BTUs of natural gas every day. That is almost 0.5% of daily US gas production.
Recently, WTI crude oil has been trading at more than $70 per barrel. This highlights the inherent exposure of most energy companies to extreme volatility in commodity prices. Therefore, it may be prudent to keep an eye on these midstream stocks.
