Big Oil firms expect global oil demand to stop growing at some point early next decade. But the decline will be very slow and gradual and will look more like a plateau than a downward spiral.     The world’s biggest international oil and gas companies have started to acknowledge that demand growth could slow or stop within a decade. But these firms keep pumping oil and gas more than they did earlier this decade as they expect that oil demand – regardless of a peak – isn’t going anywhere.  Big Oil’s…

One of President Trump’s top priorities when he took office was to remove generous subsidies for things like wind and solar power that, critics have argued, are a drain on federal coffers. The panic that this intention caused in transition industries suggested it would be an easy job. It’s not. A lot of the subsidy billions have gone into Republican-led states. The warnings have been coming in for months. A lot of the companies that have taken advantage of IRA funds for energy transition projects have done so in red states. Toyota,…

Kazakhstan and China have moved to deepen their strategic partnership, with the two allies set to sign 60 agreements worth up to $25 billion at the China–Central Asia Industrial and Investment Cooperation Forum in Astana. Kazakhstan has identified China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) as a key strategic partner for building nuclear power plants, and will sign a cooperation agreement with China on nuclear energy. This partnership also includes joint research on transboundary uranium ore belts straddling the two countries. According to…

Today, the world is filled with conflict. Part of the problem is oil limits, but there are many other issues as well: Resources such as coal, lithium, and copper are also becoming more expensive to extract. Fresh water is often inadequate for the world’s rising population. Debt levels are very high. Complexity is very high. An adequate standard of living is becoming unaffordable for many people. The increasing world population leads to a need for more food and more paved roads. These symptoms strongly suggest that the world economy is headed…

Crude prices are technically higher today, but the market mood feels anything but bullish. WTI is clinging to $75.60 (+0.61%), but that masks a sharper intraday reversal that saw prices tumble from above $77 earlier in the session. Brent is faring better at $78.85 (+2.80%), and is missing the sharp pullback seen in the US benchmark.  Much of the morning rally was driven by the drumbeat of possible U.S. military involvement in the Israel-Iran war. But once the White House clarified that President Trump hasn’t made a decision—and…

The growth in US power demand is surging to its highest rate in decades, driven first by the electrification of oil and gas production and then by the build out of data centers. While still below the 5-10% growth seen in China, the world’s first “electrostate," the US power sector is experiencing rapid structural growth. The country is delivering more than a 3.5% annual power demand growth rate for the first time in several decades, potentially positioning the US as the world’s next “electrostate,” despite the strong…

The global tide is turning in favor of nuclear energy after decades of distrust and an adverse policy environment.

SpaceX’s Starship prototype exploded over the Indian Ocean on Thursday during its fourth “hotfire” engine test, dramatically underscoring the immense energy stakes of Elon Musk’s space aspirations. The Raptor engines rely on cryogenic methane and liquid oxygen, burning through an estimated 1,000 to 1,200 tonnes of propellant per launch. This fuels more than just rockets. It powers a burgeoning $1.8 trillion space economy forecast by 2035, up from $630?billion in 2023. That explosion in valuation is driven not merely by launches,…

Via Metal Miner The Global Precious Metals MMI (Monthly Metals Index) saw a strong rally from mid-May to mid-June. Precious metals prices like gold, silver, platinum and palladium all climbed on a potent mix of safe-haven investment flows and robust industrial demand. Geopolitical tensions, notably the recent flare-up in the Middle East between Israel and Iran, have only fueled more risk aversion. This continues to drive safe-haven demand into gold and silver. Palladium Lagging in Struggles with EV Transition Palladium has improved from its spring…

Iran is maintaining crude oil supply by loading tankers one at a time and repositioning floating storage closer to Asia, two vessel tracking firms told Reuters, as the country seeks to preserve a vital revenue stream while under Israeli attack. Loadings at Kharg Island reached roughly 2.2?million barrels per day in recent days, a five-week high, while up to 8?million barrels of floating storage were shifted toward waters near China and Singapore, according to Bloomberg. The logistical changes are part of a broader strategy to insulate Iran’s…
