Imported Materials Are Manageable, Imported Energy Reprices Economies
Europe’s gas crisis in 2022 is often described as a supply shock driven by geopolitics, but that framing misses the core lesson. The crisis was not caused by import dependence in general, nor by shortages of industrial feedstocks. It was caused by reliance on an imported energy carrier that sat … [continued]

Germany’s Hydrogen Strategy Delayed Electrification by Pulling the Workforce the Wrong Way
Germany’s hydrogen backbone with no customers and no suppliers has been examined from multiple angles in this series, starting with the pipeline from nowhere to nowhere itself and the energy and other demand flows that won’t materialize, then moving through Germany’s misguided analyses that led to it, the implications of … [continued]

Canada’s LNG Mirage: Why Most Projects Won’t Be Built and Taxpayers Won’t See the Payoff
Canada is planning LNG export infrastructure as if global gas demand growth will persist for decades, but the energy system is moving in a different direction. Under conditions of sustained LNG oversupply, rapid global deployment of solar and batteries, and rising financing costs for fossil infrastructure, most proposed Canadian LNG … [continued]

From Riverboats To Global Ports: CATL Is Winning The Shipping Electrification Race
CATL’s batteries and energy management systems are already operating in roughly 900 ships and vessels, a figure that on its own should reframe how maritime decarbonization is discussed. Shipping is conservative for structural reasons tied to safety, long asset lifetimes, and unforgiving certification regimes, so deployment at this scale signals … [continued]
