India’s Finance Ministry has unveiled a budget proposal for the current financial year that will boost domestic rare earths mining and the clean energy sector as part of a broader effort to break global supply chain monopolies--particularly China’s dominance--and achieve strategic self-reliance in critical minerals. In the Union Budget 2026-27 presented over the weekend, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman unveiled a strategic initiative to establish dedicated rare earth corridors across four mineral-rich coastal states of Odisha, Kerala,…

The semi-autonomous Kurdistan Region of Iraq, centred in Erbil, has a significance way beyond its size, oil and gas output, and military capabilities. It is at the heart of the superpower battle for Iraq, which itself is seen by Washington, London, Beijing and Moscow, as the key to the broader Middle East. As underscored exclusively to OilPrice.com some time ago by a senior energy source who works closely with Iran’s Petroleum Ministry, China, Russia and Iran’s view is that: “By keeping the West out of energy deals in Iraq, the…

Central Asia is emerging from the shadow of Russia and Moscow’s grip on its economy and energy supply. In recent years, several regional and European projects, as well as China’s inroads into the Central Asian economies, have the potential to make Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan less dependent on Russia in their energy systems. Power connections and transmission projects, a program to establish Central Asia’s first-ever regional electricity market, and hydropower projects in these countries are…

Western countries have led the push for net-zero economies for over a decade. Even though it’s China that is the biggest builder of wind and solar, and EVs, and the biggest investor in transition technology, it is Europe, the UK, and Australia that are pushing for more emission cuts and more commitments for low-carbon energy. There is just one problem with that: they have outsourced all the high-emission activities, and these activities are now powering whole economies. Take cement, for instance. The biggest producer of the essential raw…

As stated earlier last month, Europe’s reliance on China for the minerals and materials underpinning the clean energy transition is no accident; it was a policy choice. And just as it chose dependency, Europe can choose resilience. The contours of that choice are now sharp and urgent: this is not about isolationism, but about strategic autonomy, industrial renaissance, and practical competitiveness. Europe’s vulnerability lies not in geology but in policy and capacity. Europe is not barren of lithium, nickel, graphite, rare earths,…

2 de febrero de 2026.- El Gobierno de Argentina despidió a 63.234 trabajadores del sector público entre diciembre de 2023 y diciembre de 2025, en el marco del programa de ajuste neoliberal impulsado por el presidente Javier Milei, según datos del Centro de Economía Política Argentina (CEPA).

“Wow, we really dodged the bullet. Maybe a million customers lost service, but none of the grids went down. Anyway, you can’t really prepare for freak events. Congrats on a job well done!” You can just imagine the imaginary manager of the imaginary US electric grid control center telling that to the frazzled staff after that fierce winter storm dubbed Fern. Of course, a number of power plants (largely gas-fired) stopped operating, power lines went down, and in some parts, even a week later, there was still no power, and water…

President Donald Trump said on Monday that the United States and India have reached an agreement on a trade framework that cuts U.S. tariffs on Indian goods and commits New Delhi to expand purchases of U.S. oil and gas, pushing energy supply to the center of talks that have unfolded largely in public. Trump’s comments outlined a deal that lowers U.S. tariffs on Indian imports to 18% and removes an additional duty tied to India’s Russian oil buying. In return, he said Prime Minister Narendra Modi agreed to sharply reduce purchases of…

Qatari Energy Minister Saad al-Kaabi on Monday warned that rising power demand from artificial intelligence could wipe out the global LNG surplus and push markets into deficit by around 2030, despite more than 100 million tonnes per year of new LNG capacity scheduled to come online this decade, Reuters reported. Al-Kaabi said AI-driven data centers are emerging as a material source of gas demand as governments and technology companies accelerate investment in large-scale computing infrastructure. Unlike traditional industrial loads, data centers…

Geopolitics are clearly again at play in the ongoing story surrounding Russia’s Lukoil international asset sale. The return of geopolitics, as clearly evident in energy markets, is putting investors on the spot; they must relearn an old lesson: oil and gas are never merely commodities, and capital is never neutral. This longstanding dynamic is clearly being played out in the quiet but strategically meaningful triangle among The Carlyle Group, Lukoil, and the United Arab Emirates, with risks stemming from sanctions, regional conflicts, and…
