Six Weeks that Turned Energy Security in Front of Net Zero and Deindustrialization

April 15, 2026April 15, 2026 Clark Savage832

In just six weeks, the global energy paradigm has flipped. What a decade of climate summits, net-zero pledges, and green industrial policy could not achieve, Iran’s effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz—and the raw reality of AI’s insatiable power hunger—has done in a flash. Energy security is no longer a side note; it is […]

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

April 15, 2026April 15, 2026 Clark Savage946

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 […]

Coal Is Back in Play Around the World

April 14, 2026 Clark Savage878

The Net Zero movement, long heralded as the inevitable path to a fossil-free future, has encountered a profound reality check. The 2026 Iran war—marked by the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz—has triggered one of the most severe global energy crises in decades, disrupting roughly 20% of the world’s oil and significant liquefied natural […]

Europe’s Gas Market is under Stress During Refill Season

April 13, 2026April 13, 2026 Clark Savage1020

As Europe enters the critical summer refill season in April 2026, its natural gas market faces significant headwinds. Underground storage levels are starting from an unusually low base after a harsh winter, compounded by geopolitical disruptions to LNG supply chains—particularly from the Middle East. With refill operations already underway but volumes constrained, the continent is […]

April 13, 2026April 15, 2026 Clark Savage1360

With this wild group of 7 stories, and one from CENCOM, I needed to also have a subtitle of “these three key points: “Paper vs. Physical: The Fractured Oil Market” “When Energy Meets Geopolitics: A Perfect Storm” “The Hidden Risks in America’s Power Infrastructure” No deal – The negotiation team could not agree on […]

April 11, 2026April 13, 2026 Clark Savage963

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 […]
