“Fuel is not energy. Fuel is a valuable material. Energy is an abstract concept (the ability to do work) until it is combined with time. Then energy becomes valuable power. It is possible to generate power by burning fuel, but it’s becoming more affordable to generate power from sunlight, wind, water and other,” reports Fred Horch in Barrons.

“As the owner of a mechanical contracting firm, I’m seeing a growing number of companies get on the pathway to 100% clean energy, transitioning from thermal engines and furnaces that burn fuel to electric motors and heat pumps powered by renewable energy. This has implications for long-term investors, because many people.”

“The momentum behind the large-scale deployment of new renewable energy generation technologies is building up, driven in part by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. As the ongoing conflict has highlighted energy supply uncertainties, Europe has laid down ambitious plans to reduce its over-dependence,” reports Nils Rokke in Forbes.

“The imports of Russian oil, gas and coal. High amounts paid for Russia’s fossil fuels are helping Russia sustain its war against Ukraine, states the frank introduction to the EU’s Re Power EU plan. While there are some short-term solutions, the only long-term solution involves fast-tracking our commitment to developing renewable energy.”

“The EU plans a massive increase in solar and wind power, and a short-term boost for coal, to end its reliance on Russian oil and gas as fast as possible. In a plan outlined on Wednesday, the European Commission said the EU needed to find an extra €210bn (£178bn) over the next five years to pay,” reports Jennifer Rankin in The Guardian.

“Senior officials conceded that in the short term, the race to get off Russian gas would mean burning more coal and energy. The plan, drawn up in response to the Kremlin-ordered invasion of Ukraine and subsequent soul-searching about Europe’s dependence on Russian gas, proposes upgrades to the EU green deal, the bloc’s flagship.”

“Thanks to a remarkable oil and gas boom, the United States has achieved the long-sought goal of energy self-sufficiency: We now produce more oil and refined products, natural gas and coal than we consume. In particular, horizontal drilling and hydraulic transformed the United States from,” reports Jesse Jenkins in The New York Times.

“This kind of physical energy security is a blessing when conflict disrupts the global energy trade. Europe’s frantic dash to free itself of Russian energy illustrates how deeply problematic it can be to not have it. Yet look at prices at the pump, and you’ll see why we can’t drill our way to true energy security. That’s why the Senate must finalize.”

“AGL Energy, Australia’s biggest electricity generator, says it remains determined to pursue its plan to split despite a bid for a blocking stake by technology billionaire Mike Cannon-Brookes. In a second tilt at the company in three months, Cannon-Brookes bought 11.28% of the AGL shares through his,” reports Peter Hannam in The Guardian.

“We have purchased this substantial interest in the company because we fundamentally believe there can be a better future for AGL, Cannon-Brookes said in a letter to AGL. A future that delivers cheap, clean and reliable energy for customers. A future that accelerates the transition to net-zero, and a future that creates opportunities for AGL.”

“Cyberattacks on three European wind-energy companies since the start of the war in Ukraine have raised alarm that hackers sympathetic to Russia are trying to cause mayhem in a sector set to benefit from efforts to lessen reliance on Russian oil and gas. The companies attacked haven’t publicly,” reports Katherine Stupp in The Wall Street Journal.

“Attributed the hacks to a particular criminal group or country and Russia has consistently denied that it launches cyberattacks. But the timing of the attacks suggests potential links to supporters of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, said Christoph Zipf, a spokesman for Wind Europe, a Brussels-based industry group. Serious cyberattacks on industrial.”

“As motorists make plans for the summer driving season, U.S. gasoline prices are near record highs. Yet some relief may be in sight: Falling oil prices mean pump prices should dip below $4 per gallon in the coming weeks though the looming risk of further disruptions to Russian oil supply means the relief,” reports Jason Bordoff in Foreign Policy.

“A key reason for the lower oil prices was the Biden administration’s recent announcement of the largest release of oil in U.S. history from the nation’s strategic stockpiles, followed by a smaller, but still sizable, release from European countries. In explaining this move, U.S. President Joe Biden acknowledged a difficult truth More.”

“The European Union may set more ambitious targets for its transition to renewable energy as it seeks alternatives to imports of oil and gas from Russia, EU climate policy chief Frans Timmermans said on Sunday. The EU’s 27 member states have agreed to collectively reduce their net greenhouse gas emissions by,” reports Aiden Lewis in Reuters.

“Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February, the European Commission has also proposed that Europe cut imports of Russian gas by two-thirds this year, and is drafting plans to phase them out by 2027. The Commission is due to propose a Repower EU plan in May for how the bloc can quit Russian fossil fuels. What we will do in.”

“The million-dollar question. Brian Horne, a senior insight and analytics consultant at the Energy Saving Trust, says a kettle is more efficient than a hob for heating water as it is heated from the inside, whereas the pan is heated from the outside and needs to get warm first. Kettles will boil water faster and,” reports Hilary Osborne in The Guardian.

“. But while gas hobs take much longer and use up to three times more energy in unit terms, the consumer group Which? says that because gas is cheaper than electricity (less than a third per unit), it works out slightly cheaper to boil water on a gas hob than using an electric kettle. This assumes you are boiling only the quantity you need.”

“The war in Ukraine is setting into motion the first global energy crisis of its kind, and nations around the world should respond by reducing their use of oil and gas, the leader of a key international organization warned on Friday. The International Energy Agency, which was formed in the wake,” reports Catrin Einhorn in The New York Times.

“The oil crisis to ensure a stable worldwide energy market, said that the repercussions of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine were likely to intensify over the next several months as summer driving season got underway with inventories at historic lows. Reducing demand is a way of addressing the situation without just pumping more oil.”

“War and oil are inextricably linked. World War I launched the modern oil age, turning a little-used fuel into the engine of the 20th century. World War II remade how oil was transported, as newly developed pipeline technology helped crude-oil carriers avoid the Nazi submarines lurking in the Atlantic,” reports Avi Salzman in Barrons.

“Now, a new war in Europe has shaken the world. The U.S. isn’t sending troops, but its oil and natural gas are weapons in a financial war against Russia. The solution seems easy: turn on the taps again; beat the bad guys. Citigroup predicts that hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, may soon become a patriotic duty, with roughnecks.”

“We thought fracking in England was over after the government banned it in 2019. So the call by more than 30 Conservative MPs, along with the fracking company Cuadrilla, to reopen exploration in Lancashire is disappointing. It is also desperate: a last-minute attempt to use the recent energy crisis to save,” reports The Guardian in their blog.

“The people of Lancashire won’t stand for it. Nor will other communities threatened by this damaging industry. Neither the company nor this minority of MPs seem to understand how united people are against fracking. It’s telling that nobody who is publicly backing the letter is from an area directly threatened by fracking. Most are from.”

“There’s a secret dogging British buildings with some of the most coveted environmental ratings: On paper they’re green, but scratch the surface and they’re red hot. Buildings that have received the highest rating in the U.K. an A Energy Performance Certificate use more energy than some of their peers,” reports Ryan Hesketh in Bloomberg.

“This disparity between how buildings are designed and what their actual emissions are is widespread in the U.K., according to recent findings from the Better Buildings Partnership, which analyzed 2020 self-reported energy data provided for more than 1,100 commercial properties. It found that commercial buildings regularly use more energy,”
