WTI crude just absolutely sending it. The US crude benchmark is now at its highest level since that melt-up we got on the second Monday of the war. https://t.co/4hONtQf997
To @anasalhajji ‘s point, you’d be hard pressed to engineer a more perfect recipe for a major sustained spike in crude & products, with accompanying global recession and market crash, than what Trump’s crew has unleashed. The 12-D chess of...
Google, considered the leader in clean energy, eyes natural gas as AI power demand rises https://t.co/nY2HfdjLsq via @axios
Off grid data centers are more about “male energy” than about speed. An AI training load shape will burn straight through a turbine, so you have to develop an expensive integrated package with storage. And at that point just connect...

Look at that backwardation...prompt spread (difference between the front-month oil futures contract and the subsequent contract) blowing out to records https://t.co/KBfkkpr9IC
With the apparent TACO yesterday, the administration is saying we will wind down our involvement in Iran without figuring out how to work through the disruption leading to $4+ gas prices in the USA? @EnergyEmpirePod https://t.co/N9KbLRP829
With Hormuz still disrupted, diesel is going to the highest bidder Europe will have to compete hard for every marginal barrel. https://t.co/76ycFBcrIj #Diesel #Europe #OilMarkets
OPEC researchers raise a very important point here. A major oversight in forecasts predicting a sharp drop in oil demand from rising EV adoption is the failure to account for the ongoing growth in internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. Ironically,...
NEW ANALYSIS: Plug-in solar panels could save a typical UK home £1,100 over their lifetime, after paying back the initial investment within 5 years By my colleague Ho Woo Nan https://t.co/i5ELgpMRk2

"While individual systems are small, their aggregate impact is becoming meaningful, both in terms of distributed generation and consumer engagement in the energy transition." I told @newscientist when asked what I made of plug-in solar or 'balcony solar' as the...
RM4 billion in subsidies sounds like protection. It is actually a countdown clock. Malaysia has spent more defending fuel prices in one month than most emergency budgets allocate for an entire quarter — and the conflict that triggered it has no...
Don't fall for the easy narrative that costly gas will mean more coal burn in Asia. Briefly in the short term maybe, but the long term trajectory toward renewables gets stronger. Look at the math behind the argument. 🎁🔗 https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2026-04-01/iran-war-the-lng-shock-isn-t-driving-asia-back-to-coal
Hello @TankerTrackers Has "Sohar LNG" crossed the SoH? If yes, did it go through the Omani waters or the international lanes? Thank you.
Brent is up 8%.. It was in the RED but Trump moved it to the GREEN

If the U.S. leaves Hormuz to others, Iran wins, writes @citrinowicz It gives Iran permission to exact revenue from tolls & increase its regional power Another brilliant Trump idea. https://t.co/oo6TbGKBxQ
Problem is pipelines are much harder to defend, easier to rupture and cyberattack than ships unless you bury everything far underground which is exceedingly difficult.
French President Emmanuel Macron says it is "unrealistic" to think the Strait of Hormuz can be reopened through military means. "We must be able to reopen this strait because it’s strategic [...] but it can only be done in consultation with...

Taking Kharg Island or bombing powerplants takes Iran's oil off global markets for a long time. That spikes oil by a lot more and is what markets fear most. Better to do an embargo and take Iran's oil off the...

Oil prices surge, WTI May at $108 now. This is the "cheap" oil (Brent is more expensive)

In the days after the Iran war started, Erica Downs and I wrote @ForeignPolicy about why despite large oil and imports through the strait, China could be a counterintuitive winner. This week’s @TheEconomist captures the dynamic well, far beyond...

China imports the most oil via the Strait of Hormuz but is also one of the best placed to weather its closure. EVs are part of that story. Five years ago China targeted 20% of new vehicles in 2025. They...
