ENB Pub Note: This article first ran on America Outloud by Ronald Stein and Mike Ariza. Both are great energy leaders and have been on the Energy News Beat Podcast. We highly recommend checking out America Outloud and subscribing. Because California’s transportation fuel market is isolated from the rest of the country, with no major […]
If you think diesel prices will ease next year, Wall Street is not with you. On August 31, 2026, CoinBureau founder Nic Puckrin flagged Goldman Sachs for more than doubling its 2027 diesel-margin forecasts, arguing that refineries are being hit from every direction—Middle East strikes, Russian export bans, and winter demand—with diesel at the epicenter […]
Oil prices climbed more than 2% in Monday trading after the United States and Iran exchanged strikes for the first time in weeks and Iran reported a supertanker striking sea mines in the Strait of Hormuz. The developments ended a period of relative calm in the six-month conflict and immediately revived supply-risk fears for a […]
ENB Pub Note: This is from Andrew Koryboko’s Substack, and I find it very interesting. Venezuela is more than just oil; it is about global corruption, and we will be covering that on future podcasts. The US’ newly formalized control over the majority of Venezuela’s oil reserves and Caracas’ potential withdrawal from OPEC could see […]
Elon Musk confirmed on August 29 that SpaceX is bringing the hardest part of the gas-turbine supply chain in-house: casting hot-section blades and vanes at a new foundry in Bastrop, Texas. He called the move “a profound game-changer” because those parts—not the rest of the machine—are what now set the pace of new natural-gas generation […]
Energy News Beat — The question is no longer whether Winter Storm Uri was a one-off. The question is whether the United States is still pricing electricity as if kilowatt-hours were interchangeable, when what grids actually sell is energy that shows up when people need it. A widely circulated Electroverse post this weekend put the […]
The world is short of nearly everything. Shipping routes are under attack, refineries are maxed out, and energy policies have backfired. In this episode, commodities expert Jack Prandelli breaks down the “everything shortage”—the interconnected crises in oil, gas, food, and critical minerals that are reshaping geopolitics and creating the next commodity super-cycle. Discover why diesel […]
President Donald Trump is scheduled to sit down Tuesday afternoon, September 1, with executives from at least 10 U.S. fuel makers and distributors. The agenda is straightforward and politically urgent: persistently high gasoline and diesel prices, what the industry can do about them, and how to expand domestic refining capacity. We hope he looks for […]
ENB Pub Note: This article first ran on The Crude Truth Substack, and I agree with Rey Trevino’s viewpoints. I would also add that Bloomberg is reporting this morning that Venezuela is weighing the benefits of remaining in OPEC. Now that it is not selling oil to China at a huge discount, it will be […]
That is not a talking point. It is the arithmetic of an integrated energy market that Ottawa cannot wish away, and Washington already understands. Smith’s warning, circulating widely after her CBC Power & Politics appearance and a clip posted by Stephen Taylor, is blunt: Alberta businesses will be hurt more by Canada’s own counter-tariffs than […]
