Over the past couple of years, the nuclear energy sector has enjoyed a renaissance in the U.S. and many Western countries thanks to the global energy crisis triggered by Russia’s war in Ukraine, high power demand and nuclear’s status as a low-carbon energy source. Uranium demand has soared thanks to a series of policy "U-turns" with governments from Japan to Germany revising plans to phase out nuclear power. Uranium spot prices hit an all-time high of $81.32 per pound in February, double the level 12 months prior. According to the World…

OPEC has perfected the art of supply management through the decades to influence market conditions and sentiment.

Cuba has increasingly been falling into an energy crisis, which has plunged its citizens into darkness with uncertainty over the future of the country’s energy security. The most recent crisis commenced on the 17th of October when non-essential workers were ordered to go home to help reduce the demand for power. However, this attempt failed and one of Cuba’s main power stations, Antonio Guiteras, shut down, alongside several other facilities.  Much of Cuba’s energy system is outdated, and years of underinvestment make it…

Iran spent decades building the so-called axis of resistance, its network of regional armed proxies, Tehran-backed militant groups, and allied state actors. The network was the lynchpin of Tehran's efforts to deter Israel and the United States and exert its influence across the Middle East. But the fall of the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, an ally of Tehran, has done irreparable damage to the network, analysts say.For Iran, Syria provided a crucial land corridor to the Levant that was considered the logistical backbone of the…

ExxonMobil is shifting into high gear with its P’nyang gas field in Papua New Guinea (PNG), fast-tracking the project by “years sooner than previously envisaged”. This acceleration comes as the supermajor doubles down on its ambitious plans to expand its LNG portfolio to 40 million tons annually by 2030. The P’nyang field, holding a staggering 4.4 trillion cubic feet of gas, is key to keeping PNG’s LNG industry humming. With groundwork starting as early as April-June 2025, Exxon is advancing its concept select phase…

The incoming U.S. president said Russia and Iran couldn't come to the support of Syrian dictator Assad because they were in a "weakened state right now, one because of Ukraine and a bad economy, the other because…
