Australia Hits “Critical Energy Implosion”: Geelong Refinery Fire Exposes the Fragility of Net Zero Policies

April 16, 2026April 16, 2026 Clark Savage254

Australia’s energy security is under unprecedented strain. A major fire at one of the nation’s last two oil refineries has thrust the country’s deepening fuel vulnerability into the spotlight, underscoring how decades of Net Zero-driven policies have transformed a once self-reliant energy powerhouse into a heavily import-dependent nation. On the night of April 15, 2026, […]

We Need to Redefine the Levelised Cost of Energy Models – David Turver Says They Are Junk

April 15, 2026April 15, 2026 Clark Savage215

For years, net-zero advocates have pointed to Levelised Cost of Energy (LCOE) charts from Lazard, IRENA, and government reports to claim that wind and solar are now the cheapest forms of electricity. These models supposedly prove renewables beat gas, coal, or nuclear on cost. But as Energy News Beat has long argued, this narrative is […]

The US Grid Transformers are a Critical Junction and Is A National Security Risk

April 11, 2026April 13, 2026 Clark Savage292

The backbone of America’s electricity system is under unprecedented strain. As highlighted in a widely discussed analysis by investor Felix Prehn, roughly half of the nation’s power transformers are operating well past their useful life—not merely aging, but “running on borrowed time.” JP Morgan has flagged the U.S. power grid itself as a national security […]

Net Zero Energy Policies Equate to Higher Energy Costs

April 5, 2026April 5, 2026 Clark Savage221

A compelling chart shared on X (formerly Twitter) by Dr. Matthew M. Wielicki (@MatthewWielicki) cuts through the rhetoric on renewable energy. It ranks U.S. states by electricity affordability and overlays whether they enforce Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) and participate in cap-and-trade programs like the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI). The top 10 most affordable states […]

The Redefining of Levelized Cost of Energy Needs to Be Implemented to Lower Energy Prices

April 1, 2026 Clark Savage115

Dr. Matthew M. Wielicki on X has some fantastic points and we recommend following him. Oh, and he was a guest on the Energy News Beat Podcast. Dr. Matthew Wielicki cut to the heart of the matter in his recent post: “Solar panels and wind turbines don’t power heavy industry, 24/7 hospitals, or supply chains. […]

The IEA is calling for Energy Rationing. Shouldn’t we look at the root cause of high energy prices?

March 29, 2026 Clark Savage73

Energy News Beat Exclusive Analysis The International Energy Agency (IEA) released its “Sheltering from Oil Shocks” report on March 20, 2026, and it reads like a blueprint for managed energy rationing. Amid the Middle East conflict that has choked off roughly 20% of global oil supply through the Strait of Hormuz, the IEA outlined a […]

Wind industry chief urges Miliband to restart North Sea drilling

March 17, 2026March 28, 2026 Clark Savage53

In a stunning intervention that exposes the deepening cracks in Britain’s net-zero dogma, Tara Singh, CEO of RenewableUK – the peak body for the UK wind industry – has publicly urged Energy Secretary Ed Miliband to ramp up North Sea oil and gas production. Writing in The Telegraph on March 16, 2026, Singh called on […]

The Energy Tale of Two States: One of Independence, Dominance, and the Other of Collapse and Failure

March 16, 2026March 28, 2026 Clark Savage33

In the vast landscape of American energy, few contrasts are as stark as that between Texas and California. One state embodies self-reliance and global leadership, producing far more energy than it consumes while bolstering the nation\’s security and economy. The other grapples with policy-driven shortages, relying heavily on imports to meet basic needs—often from unstable […]
