Last year, China started requiring export licenses for rare earth magnets. Within weeks, Elon Musk was telling investors that production of Tesla's Optimus robot had been affected.  That's because every humanoid robot needs up to 4.5 kilos of rare earth magnets to move, and China makes more than 90% of the world's supply.  It's exactly the problem REalloys (NASDAQ: ALOY) has been building to help solve. The company is putting together a rare earth supply chain outside of China, from processing in Saskatchewan to metal-making in Ohio.…

The German electricity market has faced a double whammy this year—soaring wholesale prices amid the energy crisis and a planned reform in the renewable energy and grid access policies. Some small suppliers and start-ups relying on short-term electricity prices have exited the market amid day-ahead power prices surging by 50% in the third quarter from a year earlier. Moreover, the German government’s planned reform in the renewable market rules has drawn harsh criticism from renewable energy associations and one of the companies that…

The UK is among the most ambitious states when it comes to a transition to a net-zero economy. Also, the UK is struggling with some of the highest electricity prices in Europe—and is paying significant sums to maintain grid balance, even when its wind installations are generating plenty of electricity. Normally, the cost of maintaining a balanced grid, meaning stable and secure supply of electricity, is the highest when the weather affects alternative energy sources. In winter, for instance, solar panels do not generate as much as they do…

The ghosts of Baghdad and Kabul should be enough to silence any talk of sending American troops into Iran. Yet here we are, more than seven months into a war that began on 28 February with U.S.-Israeli strikes that killed Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, and voices in Washington and Tel Aviv are again whispering that only boots on the ground can finish the job. Plans to seize Kharg Island, Iran’s main oil export terminal, or push inland to seize Iran’s enriched uranium have circulated since March. They are wrong. An invasion would be a…

The debate over new oil and gas fields usually ends in a familiar deadlock. Industry argues that production will still be needed for decades, supports jobs and reduces dependence on imports. Climate campaigners respond that every new field locks in emissions incompatible with net zero. Both sides then discuss carbon capture and storage as an afterthought: either a technological excuse for continued extraction or a costly public project unrelated to the licence being approved. There is a more useful option. If a government decides that a new oil…

Since taking office, Colombia’s far-right president, Abelardo de la Espriella, has moved aggressively to restore ties with Washington after relations frayed under Gustavo Petro. The rapprochement revives a decades-old strategic alliance that made Colombia one of Washington’s closest partners in Latin America. Early last month, the two countries agreed to deepen cooperation on critical minerals, including rare earths, tungsten and antimony. The move aligns with De la Espriella’s pledge to revive Colombia’s economically vital…

Qatar is offering to take over Lebanon's power supply problem at no upfront cost to Beirut. A draft program seen by Reuters has Qatar building two gas-fired power plants within three years and QatarEnergy supplying the gas under a 20-year LNG contract, with private financing in place of Lebanese public money. The document leaves payment obligations and guarantees open for negotiation, and Lebanon's state utility currently delivers only a few hours of electricity a day. The National Integrated Energy Investment Program includes two 825-megawatt…

Sulfur has become an indispensable element for the modern industrial system, including agriculture. Before the outbreak of the Iran war, 24 percent of the world's supply of sulfur passed through the Strait of Hormuz. I can find no reliable information on whether sulfur is being shipped through the strait now after the Iranian government claimed control. I suspect the amount is close to zero. The sulfur price at the start of the Iran conflict was approximately $500 per metric ton for sulfur originating from the Middle East. It now sits above $800.…
