The EU promised a renewable energy future – but is it still on track? As political shifts, policy delays and legal battles unfold, the energy transition faces new hurdles. Are we still moving forward, or is Europe starting to backpedal? Seden Anlar reports. Once upon a time – 2019, to be exact – the European Green Deal was the golden child of EU policy.
Just one week ago, China seemingly couldn't get enough of gold, and the price of spot briefly touched a record $3500 as a result of, among other things, staggering inflows into Chinese gold ETFs such as the Huaan Yifu, Bosera and Guotai gold ETFs. But, as with all things momentum-based in China, it's easy come, easy go in the land of Dragons, and as Goldman commodity trader Adam Gillard writes, China liquidated what it bought last week ahead of the Labor Day holiday, resulting in total onshore p

Isn’t it shameful how major Ivy League universities, like Cornell, Harvard, and now Dartmouth, sell out to the radicalized left? They offer up (sell) their prestigious names to be plastered on blatantly fake research studies that bash fossil energy. In a new study published in Nature, researchers from Dartmouth College have compromised their integrity, arguing.
It looks like the post-COVID commodity party is over - with the World Bank predicting a rather bleak end. In its latest report, the bank predicts that global commodity prices will plunge 12% in 2025 and another 5% in 2026, dragging them all the way back to their pre-pandemic levels. The World Bank expects energy prices, specifically, to fall 17% to their lowest levels in five years, and then another 6% next year.

If oil had a face right now, it would be grinning awkwardlyand Morgan Stanley cant look away. According to the banks latest note, the Brent crude forward curve has twisted itself into a bizarre shape: its sloping down hard across the first nine contracts, then turning upward into 2026. In Morgan Stanleys words, there is little historical precedent for this lopsided smile.

What have we been telling you for YEARS? That natural gas is not a “bridge” to an unreliable renewable energy nirvana, but is, instead, the destination (see Baker Hughes CEO Says NatGas is the Destination, Not Just a Bridge). That truth is now so obvious that even the Commies at Bloomberg can no longer deny.
Raindrops could hold the key to next generation renewable energy. Scientists in Singapore recently managed to generate electricity from rain-like water droplets with a surprisingly promising amount of efficiency. If this scientific breakthrough proves to be scalable and, eventually, commercially viable, this could have major implications for the global decarbonization movement, and could provide a new form of residential clean energy production.

Last Thursday, West Virginia Governor Pat Morrisey signed Senate Bill (SB) 627 into law. SB 627 removes the previous ban on leasing “pore spaces” under state-owned parks. However, the bill explicitly prohibits any surface disturbance on state park land for drilling or injection. All lease revenues generated must be used exclusively for improvements and maintenance.
Crude oil inventories in China rose to the highest in almost three years in March, suggesting demand growth was lagging behind refinery processing rates, which hit a one-year high last month as Chinese oil processors took advantage of cheap Iranian and Russian crude. Reuters Clyde Russell reported that 1.74 million barrels daily went into storage last month in China, citing official data from Beijing and noting that this is the highest rate of storage inflows since June 2023.

Every three years, the Pennsylvania Dept of Environmental Protection (DEP) is required, by state law, to produce an update to the states so-called Climate Action Plan.
