The U.S. Department of Commerce has imposed a 126% preliminary countervailing duty on Indian solar cells and modules, effectively closing off the lucrative U.S. market and exacerbating overcapacity issues for India’s burgeoning solar sector. The levies follow a complaint by the Alliance for American Solar Manufacturing and Trade (AASMT), claiming that Indian firms benefited unfairly from government subsidies. AASMT, a coalition that includes U.S.-based First Solar (NASDAQ:FSLR) and Mission Solar as well as China’s Hanwha Qcells, filed…

When the UAE experienced severe floods two years ago, many questioned the country’s practice of so-called cloud seeding—the dispersion of certain chemicals in the air to basically squeeze more rain from clouds—as a possible cause of the floods. Officially, that explanation was rejected, yet cloud-seeding is not an unproblematic practice—and it is being employed more and more. Middle Eastern countries where rainfall is scarce are among those that have been seeding clouds for the longest time, but they are not the only ones.…

Last year was an event-filled period for South America’s growing oil industry. The continent’s energy map is being rewritten by a few unexpected world-class oil booms, which makes the region a key source of non-OPEC production growth. There is also the potential for Venezuela to reemerge as a major petroleum producer after U.S. President Donald Trump launched Operation Southern Spear in August 2025, which culminated with President Nicolas Maduro’s capture in a daring night raid. Let us take a closer look at what lies ahead for…

The UK may be quietly inching toward an awkward admission: the windfall tax experiment on oil and gas has been a flop. The Treasury is holding talks with North Sea oil and gas producers about potentially scrapping the Energy Profits Levy before its scheduled 2030 expiry, according to people familiar with the discussions. After multiple extensions and rate hikes, the levy has pushed the sector’s headline tax burden to 78% — a level producers argue borders on confiscatory, and a level critics argue borders on ridiculosity. The EPL was…

Researchers in Hong Kong and China have developed a new form of battery that is more eco-friendly and longer lasting than lithium ion batteries –  and it runs on tofu brine. The new water battery is still in research phases, but if the technology proves to be scalable enough to hit commercial markets, it could be a game-changer for the energy and tech sectors. “Compared with current aqueous battery systems … our system delivers exceptional long-term cycling stability and environmental friendliness under neutral conditions,”…

Americans spend close to half a trillion dollars per year on electricity. The electric industry spends over a quarter trillion dollars a year on a capital program to replace old plants and add new ones to enable it to serve new demand. The industry and its customers have conflicting feelings about big capital spending. On the one hand, the spending should assure better service (good for consumers) and increase the rate base (good for utility investors). On the other hand, the spending will surely raise prices because the new plant and equipment…

The rare earth issue facing the United States is not a mining story. It’s a materials story.Modern defense systems are not built on ore bodies. They are built on rare earth metals, alloys, and permanent magnets. And while the U.S. has resources in the ground, it still does not reliably control the steps that turn mined material into usable, qualified inputs for industry and defense. That exposure sits in the middle of the supply chain, after mining and before finished components. It’s the point where separated material must be converted…

With the Russian-Ukraine war entering its fifth year, Kazakhstan is grappling with lots of uncertainty concerning oil exports, a critical revenue stream for Astana. The threats to budgetary stability faced by Kazakhstan are not solely related to the warfare in Ukraine: Astana is also facing prolonged and complicated negotiations with foreign partners over renewed operating agreements for key oil fields.  Over the near term, Ukraine poses the main challenge for Kazakhstan’s oil exports. Kyiv is threatening to significantly increase attacks…
