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

April 15, 2026April 15, 2026 Clark Savage841

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 Savage956

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 […]

U.S. Oil Blockade Is Set to Boost American Exports, and Impact Consumers

April 14, 2026April 14, 2026 Clark Savage1441

President Donald Trump’s naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is reshaping global oil flows in America’s favor. By choking off roughly 2 million barrels per day of Iranian crude—much of it headed to China—the U.S. is opening the door for American producers to capture massive new market share. U.S. crude exports are on track […]

Peabody Energy May Be the Only Winner of the Strait of Hormuz Blockade

As the U.S.-imposed blockade of Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz enters its critical phase, global oil and LNG supply chains are in chaos. Tankers are idled, LNG prices have spiked, and energy-short nations in Asia and Europe are scrambling for alternatives. The result? Coal—reliable, abundant, and easy to stockpile—is surging back into favor […]
