For decades, oil prices could swing wildly on even the distant prospect of war in the Middle East. With U.S. shale, that changed, leading many to assume that anything short of an oil blockade in the Strait of Hormuz will leave oil markets cold—and such a blockade is highly unlikely. This, however, is a false sense of security. Geopolitics can still flip the script on oil bears. The most recent oil price rally was prompted by the threat of a military escalation between the United States and Iran. Interestingly, the oil blockade that the United…

For the first time ever, China now has more operating power capacity from clean energy sources than capacity running on fossil fuels, thanks to a decade of booming solar and wind installations.     China, the undisputed global leader in clean energy investment, has 52% of operating power capacity coming from non-fossil fuel sources as of February 2026, while 48% of installed capacity is fossil fuel-based, according to data tracked by Global Energy Monitor.  For years, China, the world’s biggest greenhouse gas polluter,…

After years of steady energy consumption rates, the Great Lakes region is expected to see a 2 to 3 percent annual rise in energy demand over the next ten years as data centers pop up at a rapid clip to support the AI boom. Not only will this growth rate place extra stress on local energy grids (and therefore on consumers’ bottom lines), it could also pose a real threat to water resources in an area where freshwater is rarely thought of as scarce. “The energy story emerging today is one of tumultuous change in energy supply and demand…

A slew of high-quality oil discoveries in offshore Block 58 by TotalEnergies and its 50% partner, APA Corporation, has seen the tiny South American country of Suriname touted as the next Guyana.
