Morgan, the revealed portions of the budget reconciliation bill are bullish for solar, wind and geothermal power providers, noting that production and investment tax credits were truncated from their current definitions, but…

The U.S. has been looking for years to break free from China’s dominance in critical minerals and rare earth elements—with little success so far. The Trump Administration has made American production and refining of critical minerals and rare earths a top priority and is pursuing minerals deals with various countries to get access to the supply of the elements essential to the manufacturing of everything from smartphones and electric cars to F-35 fighter jets. More so than the supply of raw minerals, the United States needs the refined…

Hope your air conditioner’s feeling brave—because the U.S. power grid is about to get a workout it may not be ready for. According to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC) summer outlook, a combination of brutal heat, AI-fueled electricity demand, and an aging fleet of dependable power plants headed for retirement is teeing up a reliability stress test. Nationwide, the grid should scrape by if everything goes to plan—which, of course, it seldom does. FERC flagged the usual suspects as weak links: Texas, the Midwest,…

Saudi Aramco, the biggest oil company in the world, largely owned by the Saudi state, slashed its dividend by 30%. The company divides its dividend into a base dividend and a variable dividend, which depends on business metrics. So why be surprised by the drop? Well, in the past five years during which Aramco has been a public company, it jiggled the dividend, but not by much. This cut is something else again. Presumably, the company is telling its investors (including the Saudi government) something. But first,a quick look at Aramco as a publicly…

Not a collapse,…
