The AI Arms Race Isn’t About Technology – It’s About Electricity

Two and a half years ago, NVIDIA was a $300 billion gaming chip company. Today it's the most valuable company in history at over $4 trillion. Investors who saw what was coming and got positioned early made generational money. A $10,000 stake in NVIDIA at the start of 2023 is worth more than $130,000 today. The trade looks obvious in hindsight, but very few investors caught it in real time. Demand for AI compute had exploded, the supply of high-end chips couldn't catch up, and NVIDIA happened to be the only company on earth capable of making what…

Britain’s Energy Crisis Is Driving Manufacturing Offshore

The UK risks a major wave of deindustrialization and widespread factory closures unless the government expands emergency relief measures for manufacturers battling soaring energy costs, a prominent manufacturing trade body has warned, as reported by the Guardian. According to a June 2026 survey by Make UK and the Trades Union Congress (TUC), Britain faces an imminent risk of industrial collapse unless the government provides immediate financial relief to protect manufacturers from surging energy and power bills driven by systemic carbon levies…

Hormuz Crisis Sparks a Middle East Pipeline Boom

The blockading of the Strait of Hormuz was something that was never going to happen—until it did, paralyzing a fifth of global LNG and crude oil flows and causing quite a bit of economic pain to both producers and consumers of energy commodities. Now, they are taking care to never let a disruption of that scale happen again. The most immediate response to Iran’s closure of the strait was switching to alternative pipeline routes for those that had them. Saudi Arabia demonstrated foresight with its East-West pipeline that it used to reroute…

Whatever Happened to the Small Modular Reactor Revolution?

In the early 2020s, there was great enthusiasm around the development of the small modular reactor (SMR), which was expected to support a nuclear renaissance. However, after supply chain disruptions, technical difficulties, and other challenges, it is unclear whether SMR development is progressing as expected. Nevertheless, some companies continue to invest heavily in the technology, hoping it will help drive innovation and expansion in the nuclear power sector. SMRs are advanced nuclear reactors with a power capacity of up to 300 MW(e) per unit,…

Equinor Expands Giant Troll Field as Europe Hunts for More Gas

Equinor and its partners are investing more than NOK 4 billion ($390 million) to expand the Troll field, a giant North Sea asset that supplies around 10% of Europe's natural gas and contains 40% of Norway's remaining gas reserves. The project is expected to unlock around 11 billion cubic meters of natural gas, equivalent to roughly 69 million barrels of oil equivalent (boe), further strengthening one of Europe's most important sources of energy. Known as TWIN (Troll West Increased Gas Recovery North), the development will consist of two new wells…

The Hormuz Crisis Has Forced India to Rethink Its Energy Strategy

India has been battling to secure its energy security in recent months, as its heavy dependence on fossil fuel imports has made it highly vulnerable to a closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Severe energy supply chain disruptions have prompted India to deepen its ties with the United States to secure sufficient liquefied natural gas (LNG) supplies and to reassess its plan to enhance energy security over the coming decades, with consideration of renewable energy expansion. The months-long restrictions on energy trade through the Strait of Hormuz led…
