Back in March, the 32 member countries of the International Energy Agency (IEA) unanimously pledged a record-breaking release of 400 million barrels of crude oil from their Strategic Petroleum Reserves (SPR) shortly after Iran’s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz triggered oil price spikes, more than double the 182.7 million barrels released during the 2022 response to the Ukraine war. As usual, the United States shouldered the lion’s share of the release, committing to 172 million barrels. For the first batch, the Department of Energy…

The United States Geological Survey has made a potentially game-changing discovery in the Appalachian region. New research suggests that the ancient mountain range may be home to over 300 years' worth of lithium resources, presenting a potentially critical opportunity for the United States to wean itself off of international lithium deposits and build up domestic lithium markets. Sometimes referred to as 'white gold', lithium has become increasingly ubiquitous and indispensable in global technological and clean energy supply chains. Lithium-ion…
