  Pittsburgh International Airport could get a $1.5 billion plant to make hydrogen-based fuels under a tentative plan by natural gas producer CNX Resources. The project depends on the US granting tax credits for coal mine methane, with CNX touting the plant as a way to pull the greenhouse gas out of the atmosphere and combine it with natural gas to produce hydrogen-based airline fuel.

  Israeli centrist leader says he’ll quit if no postwar plan is presented. Benny Gantz, one of three members of Israel’s war cabinet, gave Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu an ultimatum: Either you present a plan for what happens after the war in Gaza, or I quit in three weeks. The ultimatum reveals widening divisions within Israel’s leadership. Last week, the third member of the war cabinet, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, also criticized Netanyahu for not presenting a postwar blueprint. Gantz put forth a six-point plan of his own, but Netanyahu said it would mean Israel losing the war.

• US drillers add oil and gas rigs for first time in four weeks

  This week, U.S. energy firms added oil and natural gas rigs for the first time in four weeks, energy services firm Baker Hughes. Despite this week's rig increase, the total count was still down 116, or 16% below this time last year.

  
  

  The total oil and gas rig count, an early indicator of future output, rose by one to 604 for the week of May 17.  Oil rigs rose by one to 497 this week, while gas rigs were unchanged at 103.

  
  

  The oil and gas rig count dropped about 20% in 2023 after rising by 33% in 2022 and 67% in 2021, due to a decline in oil and gas prices, higher labor and equipment costs from soaring inflation, and as companies focused on paying down debt and boosting shareholder returns instead of raising output.
