"It''s Appalling": In Hilarious Reversal, Biden Admin Now Slams Shale For Not Raising Output It was just last June when we asked if " ESG will trigger energy hyperinflation ", explaining that the progressives'' ESG agenda, "is unwinding the shale oil revolution. As recent events at Exxon and Shell have shown, the pressure on oil companies to reduce oil and gas exploration and adapt their business models has increased significantly over the past few months" (incidentally the answer to our rhetorical question was "yes"). We added that "ESG is a negative supply shock that internalizes the climate cost of the production of goods and services. This negative supply shock will be inflationary until technological progress absorbs these costs. That could take years. Moreover in Europe, it could garner enough of political support to justify a more aggressive fiscal policy despite the constraints at the German or EU levels." Meanwhile, the impact of ESG on oil companies has been to depress Capex spending to the lowest level in decades , leaving the energy sector entirely unprepared for any energy price spike, as it simply did not have the capacity to pump as much oil as may be needed.

HOUSTON: Before its forces invaded Ukraine, Russia provided one out of every 10 barrels of oil the world consumed. But as the United States and other customers shun Russian crude, the global oil market faces its greatest upheaval since the Middle East tumult of the 1970s.An energy price shock will…

Events occur in the energy market almost too fast to properly catalog these days. The torrent of information is cacophonous as one dire prediction for the direction of the oil price after another rolls across the ticker. Nonetheless, it behooves us to try and ferret out relevant details from this torrent of data. As I applied myself to this task one thing, in particular, became blindly apparent to me. The substance behind most of what I was hearing was pretty thin. As in almost non-existent thin. We will avoid the political side of this debate…

China''s effort to help Russia economically cannot offset Western-led sanctions aimed at resisting its invasion of Ukraine, analysts assert. The latest sanction — U.S. President Joe Biden on Tuesday announced a U.S. ban on Russian oil and gas imports as an expression of opposition to the war. "Sanctions are never the fundamental and effective way to solve problems," Liu Pengyu, spokesperson for the Chinese Embassy in Washington, wrote to VOA in an email. Since 2011, Liu said, the United States has imposed more than 100 sanctions on Russia without solving any problems. "China decides its own position and policy based on the merits of the matter itself," he said. As for Russia and Ukraine, Liu said, "we will continue to play a constructive role in seeking and achieving peace." While Beijing''s opposition to the sanctions and China''s plans to buy more Russian goods will help its northern neighbor, Moscow''s current economy still depends more on Western countries than on China, according to experts.

In the friendliest rhetoric yet from the Biden administration toward the U.S. oil and gas industry, U.S

A pro-government pundit, known for his highly opinionated comments, finds it natural that the German chancellor doesn’t want gas and oil imports from Russia to stop. He lambasts the left-wing Hungarian media, which regularly accuse PM Orbán of being subservient to Russia if he expresses similar views. In separate statements, both Prime Minister Viktor Orbán […]

Just as oil prices soared above $115 per barrel and European gas prices moved up to $60 per mmBtu, coal markets have been suffering through some turmoil of their own. Global coal prices surged some 30% in one week, primarily triggered by fears of Russia’s coal supply not hitting the market as several rounds of US/EU/UK sanctions made it complicated to arrange financial lines with Russian sellers. The Asian Newcastle benchmark futures contract rose to $440 per metric tonne, with Europe’s API2 March ’22 contract trading at the same…

The second week of the war in Ukraine has brought broader sanctions on Russia, as the United States stopped imports of Russian oil, the European Union laid down plans to drastically cut imports of Russian oil and gas and several companies pulled out of the Russian market. The effect of the sanctions was felt on …

U.S. President Joe Biden says two U.S. citizens who were "wrongfully detained" by the Venezuelan government have been released, days after a delegation of senior U.S. officials visited the South American nation in an apparent effort to smooth relations between the two countries. In a statement posted to the White House website, Biden welcomed Gustavo Cardenas and Jorge Fernandez back home Tuesday following their release. The president said Cardenas, an executive with the U.S. branch of Venezuela''s state-run oil company, was arrested in 2017. Fernandez was arrested last year "on spurious charges." Biden expressed his gratitude to Roger Carstens, U.S. special envoy for hostage affairs, and to "our entire diplomatic team for their tireless efforts to secure their release and reunite these families." The release comes after Carstens joined National Security Council Senior Director for the Western Hemisphere Juan Gonzalez, and U.S. Ambassador to Venezuela James Story for talks Saturday with members of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro''s government.

One of Australia’s top insurance companies has warned petrol prices may remain at unprecedented levels throughout the duration of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. NRMA spokesman Peter Khoury said many Australians could expect to pay staggeringly high prices of more than $2 per litre (US$5.51 per gallon) when at the pump. “In Australia, most capital cities […]

As prices at the pump continue to rise for Americans, and as U.S. President Joe Biden warns oil and gas companies about price-gouging to take advantage of profits from the fallout of the Russia-Ukraine war, Senator Elizabeth Warren reveals she is gearing up to propose a new windfall tax on oil profits. “Big Oil’s first priority is to maximize profits,” Warren said in a Tweet on Wednesday. “We can’t let them use Putin’s invasion as an excuse to pad their bottom line with war-fueled profits.” Warren said…
