Chevron Corporation (NYSE: CVX) delivered a solid first-quarter performance, beating analyst expectations on adjusted earnings per share despite a year-over-year decline in reported profits, ongoing Middle East disruptions tied to the Iran conflict, and significant one-time timing effects from financial hedges.

May 1, 2026 Clark Savage758

As Europe races to eliminate its remaining dependence on Russian natural gas by late 2027, a long-dormant project is suddenly back in the spotlight.

April 29, 2026April 29, 2026 Clark Savage528

The United Kingdom’s vaunted renewable energy fleet delivered a stark reality check over the recent weekend. Despite boasting approximately 32 GW of installed wind capacity—onshore and offshore combined—actual output plummeted to just 0.6 GW, less than 2% of nameplate capacity.

The European Union’s energy policymakers have spent years touting their “REPowerEU” strategy as a masterstroke of independence from Russian fossil fuels. Yet in March 2026—mere weeks after the EU began rolling out its formal ban on short-term Russian LNG purchases—the bloc imported more Russian liquefied natural gas than in any month on record.

US Gasoline Prices lower than Europe: California says ‘Hold my Beer’

April 27, 2026 Clark Savage653

When you follow bad energy policies, bad things happen. And California has tried to emulate EU and UK standards on carbon taxes, Net Zero, and the elimination of oil products. That’s the good news, and the bad news is they both are in trouble with spiking diesel, gasoline, and how are they going to fix […]

Traffic through the strait has plummeted by over 95%, choking off roughly 20% of global oil and LNG flows, along with […]

It is time to redefine the Levelized Cost of Energy

April 25, 2026April 25, 2026 Clark Savage1477

The standard Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) has dominated energy policy discussions for years. Policymakers, media, and even some industry reports cite it to claim that wind and solar are now the “cheapest” forms of new electricity generation. But as Germany’s Energiewende and certain U.S. states demonstrate, this metric is dangerously incomplete. It ignores the […]
