Western countries are worried about meeting rising power demand. China is adding a Germany's worth each year...
"China expects annual increase in power demand of 600 TWh in the next 5 years -- more than Germany produces in a year. That compares to 570 TWh over the past 5 years."

Commodity traders Trafigura Group and Vitol Group are expanding efforts to sell Venezuelan oil into Asia, a move that comes as the South American country’s production rises and the Iran war disrupts competing supplies from the Middle East.
Trafigura, Vitol Sell More Venezuelan Oil to Asia on War Turmoil
By Lucia Kassai and Yongchang Chin
(Bloomberg) -- Commodity traders Trafigura Group and Vitol Group are expanding efforts to sell Venezuelan oil into Asia, a move that comes as the South American country’s production rises and the Iran war disrupts competing supplies from the Middle East.
Trafigura has offered Venezuelan flagship Merey 16 crude to refiners in South Korea, according to people with knowledge of the situation who asked not to be named discussing private transactions. The company also recently delivered oil to a refinery in Malaysia, the people said.
Traders had also made recent offers to India at discounts of around $6 a barrel to the Dated Brent benchmark, although it wasn’t immediately clear if any volumes had been sold to the South Asian nation, according to the people.
Trafigura offered half a million barrels of Merey 16 to South Korean fuelmakers, people with knowledge of the situation said. The oil was eventually discharged into a storage facility in South Korea in early June, data from maritime intelligence firm Kpler Ltd. show. South Korea last bought Venezuelan oil in 2011, according to the country’s customs data compiled by Bloomberg.
Trafigura declined to comment. The same vessel that delivered oil to South Korea, the Trafigura-chartered supertanker Nissos Kea, also delivered oil to a Malaysian port that serves the Melaka refinery operated by Petroliam Nasional Bhd, known as Petronas. The refinery is a major producer of asphalt, for which heavy Venezuelan oil is a well-suited feedstock.
Another supertanker, the Solana, chartered by Vitol, just unloaded 2 million barrels of Merey 16 into floating storage facilities off the coast of Malaysia. Such facilities are typically used as distribution centers, where large cargoes are broken up into smaller parcels and sold to end users. Vitol didn’t immediately return a message seeking comment.

El Niño begins. The weather phenomenon will mean significant hydrological volatility across South America in late 2026-2027.
Implications for hydroelectric and LNG.
The Japanese Meteorological Agency becomes the first major weather body to formally call the onset of El Niño phenomenon in the Pacific.
It's the first El Niño in three years, and some forecaster expect to be one of the strongest ever.
