Announced in July 2026 and still at the feasibility-study stage, it would initially move 500,000 barrels per day (expandable to 800,000) of Western Canadian crude to Sarnia’s refining hub. Ontario is leading the study, due by the end of 2026, and Ford has said the province is prepared to provide “patient capital” while seeking private […]

The EU and UK’s Gas Forecasts Are Not an Energy Strategy

September 29, 2026 Clark Savage20

A forecast is not a plan. A storage target is not a molecule. And a press release about “diversified supply” does not fill a cavern in Bavaria when the cargo is sitting in the Pacific because Seoul or Dhaka paid more. As of late September 2026, the European Union is heading into the heating season […]

The Global Energy Crisis, and How Did We Get Here?

September 28, 2026 Clark Savage59

In this roundtable discussion, three energy experts examine the perfect storm of policy decisions, geopolitical conflicts, and ideological commitments that have created a global energy crisis. Hosted by Stu Turley of Energy News Beat, with guests Dr. […]

The messaging problem: “global gas” is not how Britain actually buys gas

September 28, 2026September 28, 2026 Clark Savage107

The official line since the energy crisis has been simple. Families and businesses are exposed because fossil-fuel prices are set internationally. After the latest Middle East shock, ministers said Britain had to “get off the fossil fuel rollercoaster” and that “when global gas prices spike, people here shouldn’t be picking up the tab.” Ofgem and […]

Colorado and Other Parts of the Country Are Seeing Rising Blackout Risk

September 27, 2026September 27, 2026 Clark Savage155

If the latest Colorado Public Utilities Commission findings surprised anyone, they have not been watching the grid. On September 26, 2026, The Denver Post reported that Xcel Energy’s Colorado customers are losing power more often and for longer periods than they did from 2015 through 2023—and that the pattern continued through the first half of […]

How Did We Get to the Global Diesel Crisis?

September 26, 2026September 26, 2026 Clark Savage272

Diesel prices in the United States have smashed records, topping $6 per gallon nationally and exceeding $7 on the West Coast, while inventories sit well below five-year averages. Truckers, farmers, freight operators, and industrial users feel it first. The pain is global: European and Asian markets have also hit or approached records as middle-distillate supplies […]

Why Are Global Diesel Prices So High? Exhibit A: Ukraine Drone Hits Novoshakhtinsk Refinery

September 25, 2026September 25, 2026 Clark Savage270

A Ukrainian drone strike on Friday forced Russia’s Novoshakhtinsk refinery in the Rostov region offline, according to regional governor Yury Slyusar. The plant, which processes about 110,000 barrels per day (roughly 5–5.6 million tons per year), is not one of Russia’s giants. It is, however, a clean illustration of why diesel—the workhorse fuel for trucking, […]

How the Net Zero Deindustrialization Just Hit Mercedes as They Need $800 Million in Labor Savings

September 24, 2026 Clark Savage262

Mercedes-Benz is no longer talking about “transformation.” It is talking about survival in Germany. WirtschaftsWoche, citing three people familiar with the talks, reports that Mercedes wants about €800 million in German labor-cost savings — roughly $911 million at current rates. Options on the table include longer hours without extra pay, cuts to holiday and Christmas […]

High European Gas Prices, Coupled With Bad Energy Policies, Push Power Back to Coal

September 24, 2026 Clark Savage301

Europe spent a decade congratulating itself for pushing coal to the edge of the power system. Then it priced itself back onto the fuel it spent political capital destroying. Benchmark Dutch TTF gas prices spiked above €80 per megawatt-hour this month, the highest in three years, after the Iran conflict choked LNG shipments through the […]
