A federal judge has allowed antitrust lawsuits accusing some of the biggest U.S. shale producers of coordinating production cuts to keep oil and fuel prices higher to proceed. U.S. District Judge Matthew Garcia in New Mexico rejected efforts by Diamondback Energy, Occidental Petroleum and other producers to dismiss the consolidated litigation. The lawsuits, filed beginning in 2024, allege that producers restrained shale output and ultimately pushed up prices for crude oil, gasoline, diesel and heating oil.

As the battery storage sector goes gangbusters on a global scale, lithium spot prices are seeing a major windfall, with mining companies posting massive profits. As a result, lithium asset dealmaking is also on the rise, and could soon – at long last – put the United States on the map as a key supplier of the ‘white gold.’ The International Energy Agency (IEA) classifies lithium at the highest level of supply risk and price volatility.…

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says Gulf oil producers could bypass the Strait of Hormuz within two years, putting a remarkably short timetable on a pipeline buildout that has accelerated since the Iran war disrupted one of the world’s busiest oil routes. “That will be bypassed in two years,” Bessent said Tuesday during a discussion with Larry Kudlow at the G20 financial meetings in Asheville, North Carolina.

But, you know, not a story as spectacular as when an electric company burned down an entire island or when another one managed to set fire to Pacific Coast towns with glamorous names. Just two weeks…

In 1967, a Maasai herder called Jumanne Mhero Ngoma stumbled across a clump of unusual violet crystals in the Mereli Hills near the Tanzanian city of Arusha. For his discovery, Ngoma was awarded 50,000 shillings – about $22 in today’s money. However, the rights to sell the mineral were awarded to Henry B.

Platt named the stone ‘Tanzanite’ and boasted in a marketing campaign that the jewel could only…
