“Drill, baby, drill” is not the central theme in the U.S. shale patch despite President Donald Trump’s best efforts to back the American oil and gas industry with eased permitting and reversal of climate and export-restricting policies.  Most U.S. oil and gas producers are boosting production through consolidation and efficiency gains, instead of drilling additional wells. Many rely on drilled but uncompleted wells (DUCs) to raise output as the U.S. benchmark oil price has dipped by about 15% since President Trump’s…

Georgia Power residential customers are now paying an extra $516 per year on their electric bill from two years ago. But Georgia is hardly alone. Surging electricity…

Not long ago, the UK’s Prime Minister declared his government would turn the country into an “AI superpower”. The EU leadership has similar plans for the bloc—while China and the U.S. race ahead without looking back. Neither the UK nor the EU will catch up soon. Their energy is too expensive. Now, Nvidia’s boss is warning that even the United States’ energy costs may be too high to help it win the race. “China is going to win the AI race.” Jensen Huang made the blunt statement at the Financial Times’…

Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 national development strategy establishes the aim of economic diversification, as the government seeks to reduce its reliance on fossil fuel revenues by expanding other economic sectors.

Specifically, production at the Nasiriyah field has increased to 80,000 barrels a day by bringing…

According to Trump, his big achievement a week ago when he announced the trade truce with China, was getting Beijing to agree to remove export limitations on rare earth minerals, which, as most now know, are so critical for US companies to make everything from cell phones, to cars, and military equipment. And yet, as discussed on a few occasions this week, it feels like the cracks in this latest trade deal are already starting to show, whether it is Beijing ordering Trump what he can't talk about, or quietly ring-fencing its domestic data center…
