India is dusting off its idle gas-fired power plants, not because they’re suddenly cheap, but because peak demand in the blistering months of May and June may leave the grid gasping. An adviser to the power ministry said this week the government is weighing a plan to run the costly plants only as seasonal back-up. Gas has become the ugly duckling of India’s power mix. Once good for 3% of generation in 2020, its share has shriveled to about 1.5% thanks to prices bouncing between $8 and $18 per million British thermal units. Coal—far…

Every few months, the noise from across the Atlantic starts up again: drill baby drill. Burn what you’ve got. Reopen the rigs. Don’t let the transition ruin a good oil boom. And now, the suggestion is that Europe should follow suit, start drilling in the North Sea like it’s 1973, maybe even get Groningen going again and pretend this is a real strategy. Let’s be fair.

The target was critical for importing the fuel from southern Europe along the Trans-Balkan corridor and into the country.
