The era of fossil fuel security is over, and the era of clean energy security must come of age. This is the clear lesson as we face the second global energy shock in less than five years.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves stated that delinking electricity and gas prices is necessary, as high gas prices currently inflate electricity costs despite unchanged production costs. This change is essential as electricity becomes a larger part of the energy mix.

NASA has 30 days to kick off a program for a mid-power space reactor ready for launch by 2030. A lunar variant is required, as is an option for nuclear electric propulsion.

Columbia's Center on Global Energy Policy (CGEP) describes itself as an independent organization producing research on energy policy. But that representation is misleading, alleges the complaint to the New York City consumer protection bureau.

"All the gas we import comes from a type of extraction that has environmental impacts and is 100 meters from the Mexican border," she noted, alluding to fracking projects in Texas.

Solar farms across England, Wales and Scotland produced 14.1GW of electricity at midday on Monday, eclipsing the previous benchmark of 14GW set last July. That mark lasted barely 24 hours before Tuesday afternoon's output pushed the bar to 14.4GW.

Jim Ratcliffe stated that excessive taxation risks damaging domestic industry, emphasizing the need for a pragmatic approach to energy policy that balances affordability with environmental goals.

"Singapore is in a very unique position because they face a lot of land constraints, so there are few ways for them to generate their own renewable energy. Singapore is pushing for integrated energy systems throughout ASEAN, so that renewable energy produced in other countries can be brought back to Singapore. There's a very distinct, coordinated effort for countries to come together to work on climate change and energy security in a way that I haven't really seen."

"The waiver ensures a robustly available supply of domestic fuel, providing Americans further relief at the pumps, and reducing our reliance on foreign oil."

"California has had, I think, very poor energy policy. They've put a climate agenda ahead of reliable and affordable energy, and the consequences of that are that energy in California - any form of it - is unaffordable."

Badenoch highlighted pressure from trade unions and former Labour Prime Minister Sir Tony Blair, arguing that Starmer had the authority to act but was choosing to defer responsibility.

The European Commission stated that Slovakia's decision to charge foreign drivers more for diesel is highly discriminatory and against EU law, emphasizing that measures must not discriminate between nationality.

The Iran war has once again shown our drive for clean power is essential for our energy security so we can escape the grip of fossil fuel markets we don't control.

Unlike the more well-known Quebec separatism, which is rooted in a sense of a separate nationality, culture, and language, Alberta separatism has historically been a minor political movement rooted in Western Canadian alienation, a catch-all term for the perception that Alberta's economic interests and political values are marginalized by federal institutions dominated by Central Canada.

The Trump administration purged the State Department of its oil and gas experts last year, prior to launching its war on Iran, including people who would be responsible for examining scenarios related to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a new report says as the gas prices spike.

The legislation - which only applies to large oil companies - would impose a per-barrel tax "equal to 50% of the difference between the current price per barrel of oil and the average price per barrel last year, when big oil companies were already earning large profits."

Standing in front of a gas pump in a video posted to social media, San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan said the costs are "becoming an emergency for working families, and I think we ought to act like it." The moderate Democrat called on state lawmakers to suspend California's gas tax, which at 61 cents per gallon is the highest in the nation.

The United States - we produce more oil than we can consume. We're a net oil exporter," Wright said. This comment misses some important context. Some metrics show the U.S. as a net exporter, but for crude oil - the material that's refined into gasoline - the U.S. is a net importer.

The US-Israeli war on Iran has already led to hundreds of deaths, created an ecological crisis linked to strikes on oil depots and sent fossil fuel prices haywire across the globe. Critics say the war also shows the inherent instability of dependence on oil and gas: unlike wind and solar power, fossil fuel-based energy requires constant inputs of products whose availability and costs are determined by the global market.

The American Navy, he wrote, had "successfully escorted an oil tanker through the Strait of Hormuz to ensure oil remains flowing." The post on X was deleted minutes later, after "oil prices slid at their steepest pace in years," according to the Wall Street Journal. The White House press secretary later acknowledged publicly that Wright's claim was false.

Nevada is structurally dependent on California's refining system. Nevada relies on California for approximately 88% of its transportation fuels - gasoline, diesel and jet fuel. These fuels are supplied mainly via the CALNEV Pipeline, which connects Southern California refineries to Las Vegas. While Nevada has limited oil production of its own, it is almost entirely dependent on California's refining capacity.

This victory isn't just mine, it's ours. It's for the single mother choosing between groceries and her power bill, the senior trying to keep the lights on, and the young voter who showed up believing that their voice matters. Alicia Johnson pledged to support energy policy at the PSC that benefits the public, rather than catering to the interests of powerful energy companies.
