Solar Is the Cheapest Power in History, But States Are Retreating From It

A high-stakes push-and-pull is taking place in the United States clean energy sector as state-level laws, federal-level policy, and that infamous invisible hand all tug in different directions.

We think the information is credible. A sale would fit the group’s strategic direction, and the company is an outlier in the UK, where other majors have either sold down or formed joint ventures.

Israel and Hezbollah Truce Gives Oil Markets a Reason to Pause

The Middle East's latest peace deal just got a peace deal of its own. Israel and Hezbollah agreed Friday to halt fighting in southern Lebanon after days of escalating clashes threatened to derail the fragile US-Iran peace process, reducing the risk that the first major test of the U.S.-Iran agreement would turn into its first major failure. Negotiations between Washington and Tehran are supposed to begin under a 60-day framework agreement designed to end the war, reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and eventually restore millions of barrels per day of…
