In July, a bone-chilling cold wave swept across South America, plunging nations like Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay into an energy crisis that laid bare the fragility of their power systems. Record-low temperatures, driven by an Antarctic air mass, pushed electricity grids to the brink, forced governments to ration gas, and left thousands without power for

The push for solar energy is carving a path of destruction through the Thar Desert in India’s Rajasthan, where native species maintain a delicate balance of life now being sacrificed to an absurd and futile climate agenda. This is an act of ecological vandalism that pretends moral superiority while destroying the natural world it supposedly

British multinational BP has announced its largest oil and gas discovery in 25 years in Brazil’s Santos Basin. By 2030, daily production is expected to be 2.3 to 2.5 million barrels of oil equivalent, which leaves little doubt that the company is solidly committed to hydrocarbons after a brief flirtation with alternatives like wind and

By refusing to play by the EU’s restrictive climate rules, Poland has begun to build one of Europe’s most energy-secure economies. While much of the bloc marches in lockstep towards a self-inflicted economic wound called “net zero,” Poland has chosen a different path – one of pragmatism, national interest and, most importantly, energy security. And

Those claiming that wind and solar energy are cheaper than fossil fuels should be writing scripts for science fiction dramas. Yet global organizations such as investment firm Lazard and the International Renewable Energy Agency expect this bogus claim to be taken seriously as a basis for investing many billions into essentially useless technologies to save

The world is on fire, and not in the way climate alarmists would have you believe. For years, governments of wealthy democracies sold the fantasy that wind turbines and solar panels could replace coal, oil and natural gas. Now, with war in Eastern Europe, explosions in the Middle East, and the global oil market once

In an increasingly electricity-hungry world, nuclear power stands out as a cornerstone for sustainable economic growth, particularly for developing economies like South Africa. This article examines the economic rationale behind the adoption of nuclear power for electricity, with a focus on the Pebble Bed Modular Reactor (PBMR) and Small Modular Reactor (SMR) technologies as catalysts

The following is a guest article by Charles Rotter. Abstract Rivers and streams are an important pathway in the global carbon cycle, releasing carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) from their water surfaces to the atmosphere1,2. Until now, CO2 and CH4 emitted from rivers were thought to be predominantly derived from recent (sub-decadal) biomass production and, thus,
