The European Union has unveiled the Electrification Action Plan, aiming for electricity to account for 46% of total energy consumption within the bloc by 2040, effectively doubling the current rate.

It's India, and they’re taking charge. When Middle Eastern refineries were damaged during the Iran/US war, when Russian diesel exports collapsed under the weight of Ukrainian drone strikes, and when Europe found…

Pashinyan’s decisive victory represents a clear popular rejection…
