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…

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…
