The hottest Energy crisis Substack posts right now

Anchorage, Alaska, faces a potential energy crisis due to dwindling natural gas supplies. The community relies heavily on this resource for electricity and heating during cold winters.
The local oil and gas companies have not been drilling enough new wells to replace the declining existing ones. This lack of action raises concerns about electrical outages and heating shortages in the future.
Despite being a gas-rich state, Alaska's underproduction of new gas is leading it to a crisis point. Steps need to be taken to secure its energy supply for the upcoming years.

Our current energy sources are running low. Most of the energy we use today comes from fossil fuels, and they will run out in a few decades if we don't find new sources.
Rare earth metals are essential for modern technology, but we have limited supplies, and most come from only a few countries. This makes our reliance on them risky.
Water is becoming scarcer, especially for agriculture, which uses most of it. Finding solutions like desalination will require a lot of energy, but we are already facing energy limitations.

Alberta almost faced a power crisis due to project delays affecting wind and solar energy generation.
Cold snap increased electricity demand in Alberta, highlighting the importance of reliable energy sources.
Delays in critical energy projects like Cascade and Genesee expansion contributed to the vulnerability of Alberta's grid system.

German farmers are protesting subsidy cuts affecting their economic survival.
The concerns of the farmers are not solely related to subsidy cuts, but also Covid restrictions and energy policy.
Claims linking German farmers to far-right extremism and Russian propaganda lack clear evidence.

EU leaders are frustrated that the US is profiting from the Ukraine proxy war by selling weapons and expensive natural gas, causing economic distress in Europe.
The US prioritizes its new cold war with China over EU interests, leading Europe to feel like an afterthought in US policy.
Historically high energy prices in Europe are threatening to bankrupt industries, pushing companies to consider moving their operations to the United States.

Our energy economy heavily relies on finite fossil fuels leading to a crisis
Transitioning to renewable energy is essential but faces challenges from vested interests and political inertia
The future calls for a paradigm shift towards sustainability, cooperation, and local resilience

Stop the fear-mongering narratives and nonsensical net-zero CO2 billions, focus on positive climate prospects for the future and invest in adaptation measures.
Investments in adaptation show significant results in preventing climate casualties, while net-zero policies have yielded nothing for decades. Time to prioritize adaptation over futile mitigation efforts.
Consider nuclear energy as a reliable, safe, and affordable alternative to fossil fuels. Policy should be grounded in reliable facts, highlighting the benefits of CO2 and focusing on a gradual energy transition.
