If Russia attacks a NATO member, Germany would have six months to move as many as 800,000 allied troops and 200,000 vehicles across the country toward the eastern flank. The ports, airports and railways required for that movement already carry military equipment through Europe and toward Ukraine. Germany says Russia attempted to bomb a Ukrainian cargo aircraft at Leipzig/Halle Airport, which houses NATO’s heavy-airlift program. Fires and incendiary devices subsequently reached European ammunition, drone and military-electronics companies,…

Five years after Indian Point’s last reactor shut down, Albany rediscovered the appeal of electricity that runs around the clock without burning fossil fuels. Governor Kathy Hochul wants 5 gigawatts of new nuclear capacity, with at least 1 GW developed by the publicly owned New York Power Authority, plus a separate 4 GW initiative.  There haven't been any announcements for the technology of choice, but the most likely candidates are the large Westinghouse AP1000 and the smaller 300 MW BWRX-300 from GE Vernova Hitachi.…

Washington’s takeover of more than a fifth of Venezuela’s oil reserves in a deal officially signed by U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright on 2 September was as unexpected as it was dramatic, with President Donald Trump’s comment a few days earlier that it is “the biggest oil deal in world history” looking justified from several perspectives. From a pure volume standpoint, the deal covers 65 billion barrels of proven crude oil reserves (out of Venezuela’s total 303 billion barrels) across 17 fields. To put that…

Rosneft has shipped the first crude oil cargo from the Vostok Oil project in Eastern Siberia, despite sanctions targeting Russia’s energy industry and the exit of Western business partners. At peak capacity, the project is expected to produce between 50 and 100 million tons of crude annually. The Vostok Oil project is Russia's largest new oil development, comprising a group of fields in Krasnoyarsk Krai, some already producing and the rest new discoveries. A total of 2,000 wells have been drilled at the site, Rosneft’s chief executive…

The biggest U.S. legacy automakers look to turn the losses from their underutilized electric vehicle battery capacity into a new profitable business to seize the soaring demand for battery storage energy systems. GM and Ford, which, due to poor demand, have written down billions of U.S. dollars of investments in the EV expansion push, are now pivoting to the energy storage business to meet the spike in demand for battery energy storage from data centers and infrastructure to support the electric grid. The underutilized electric vehicle battery…

The investigations published by The New York Times and The Washington Post should not be dismissed as another collection of allegations emerging from Sudan’s opaque civil war. Taken together, they present the most substantial publicly available evidence yet that elements of the Sudanese Armed Forces developed, stockpiled, and apparently used improvised chlorine weapons. If independently verified, this would transform Sudan’s conflict into a chemical-weapons and energy-security crisis directly connected to the Red Sea. The material reportedly…

I've been writing for more than a decade and a half about a broad category of metals often nowadays dubbed "strategic" because they are crucial to high-tech applications such as solar photovoltaic panels, wind turbines, electric vehicles, flat screens, semiconductors, batteries, optics, aerospace and a wide array of military applications including night vision, radar systems, communications satellites, radiation shielding, vehicle armor, submarine hulls, precision weaponry, and on and on. It is the military applications that interest me here because…

On Comex, prices topped $6.70 a pound in August, a fresh all-time high. Behind the run sits inventory that keeps draining: LME warehouse stocks fell for 42 straight days through mid-August, the longest stretch since 2014, and nearly…
