China spent years being "paranoid" about energy security — renewables, Russian gas, coal backstop, diversified supply chains.

After the Hormuz shock, that paranoia looks like strategy. "China is perhaps the big winner."

Cheap oil from an OPEC collapse could be worse for the clean energy transition than expensive oil.

Clean energy investment tracks oil prices. Kill the price, kill the urgency.

@TheEconomist's energy editor on the new @EnergyVsClimate.

The 70s oil shock and the Ukraine gas crisis had no clean alternative at scale. This crisis does.

@EnergyvsClimate's Sara Hastings-Simon ran the solar numbers, and for the first time, they're genuinely material globally.

@TheEconomist's energy editor is optimistic about clean energy — but he named 6 things that could still derail it. He calls them the Dirty Half Dozen.

Cheap oil, fossil subsidies, supply chain nationalism, and more. New @EnergyVsClimate.

@TheEconomist's energy editor on the global energy shock:

▲ Winner: Coal
▼ Loser: LNG (golden age of gas is over)
◆ Wild card: Cheap oil — could actually slow the clean energy transition

Storage has advanced more in 5 years than solar did in 15.

Solar + storage is now delivering round-the-clock power below fossil fuel costs in real markets.

Have you been told that industrial carbon pricing adds big costs for oil and gas companies?

Reality: It only costs about $0.50/barrel, and companies only pay if they don’t reduce emissions.

Janetta McKenzie, Ph.D. explains 👇

"Small modular reactors are not small. Let me be really clear about that."

CANDU: 700 MW. SMR: 300 MW. The word "small" is doing a lot of work.

Nuclear is having a global moment. Canada's story is more complicated.

We talked w/ Prof. Jason Donev — who started out anti-nuclear & changed his mind — about costs, SMRs, and why the physics is solved but the politics aren't.
