The largest oil producers in the Middle East Gulf have deepened production cuts and are already lowering output by a combined more than 5 million barrels per day (bpd) as the de facto halt to tanker traffic in the Strait of Hormuz has started to affect upstream production.    As storage fills and crude has no way out of the Gulf, the top Middle East producers and most influential OPEC members have had to resort to cutting actual oil production.  Saudi Arabia has slashed its oil production by between 2 million bpd and 2.5 million…

Oil prices briefly hit triple-digits in early Monday trading before pulling back sharply, with the volatility throwing global energy stocks into a tizzy. Brent crude oil rocketed to $119 during Asia Pacific trading, its highest level since 2022, before falling below $90 per barrel in the afternoon, still a big jump from ~$78 per barrel just a week ago. The price spike was triggered by the intensifying conflict between the U.S., Israel, and Iran, which has led to a near-total blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. The pullback, however, came amid reports…

I want to talk about the thing nobody in Washington seems willing to say out loud, which is that the cost of this war is going to show up at your kitchen table before it shows up in any congressional budget hearing.

Longstanding tensions in the Middle East are no longer simmering away -- they have tipped into a multi-theatre conflict the like of which the world has not seen in the region since the Six-Day War of 1967, with Iran at the centre of the escalation cycle. U.S. and Israeli forces are prosecuting a sustained campaign against Iranian territory, command infrastructure, and proxy assets across every active front. Iran and its network of militias are still managing to retaliate — from missile launches to maritime disruption — even as they…

Brent crude and WTI are once again above $100 and likely to stay there longer than those involved in the planning of the latest war in the Middle East may have expected. With that, energy-thirsty economies are beginning to feel the pinch, and not everyone is optimistic that it will be a short pinch. Brent crude, the global benchmark, surged past $116 per barrel earlier today, with West Texas Intermediate also reaching that level in a rare parity between the two. Murban crude, meanwhile, has hit $120 and sped past it, reflecting the continued freeze…

As many as half a million abandoned coal mines dot the United States. These mines pose a major threat to public health and safety, in addition to environmental well-being.

Scientists at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) recently announced a breakthrough in the development of a methodology to turn the nation’s…

Two weeks ago, I suggested that the complacency regarding war with Iran was misplaced and that that complacency was likely soon to be replaced by panic in the world's capitals and financial markets. The general belief was that President Donald Trump would relent, make a deal with Iran, and declare victory. Even if he didn't, the Iranian regime would be quickly overwhelmed by a combined American and Israeli attack and possibly be overthrown in a popular revolt or in the alternative, sue for peace within days. Of course, neither of those things turned…
