Russia has seized a village near Shevchenkove in eastern Ukraine, just kilometers from a major untapped lithium deposit, according to a pro-Russian local official cited by Reuters on Wednesday. The area lies close to the Kruta Balka site, one of Ukraine’s most valuable hard-rock lithium prospects, raising fresh alarm over Europe’s long-term access to critical energy transition materials. The Kruta Balka deposit is part of a cluster of lithium-rich zones in eastern and central Ukraine, previously estimated to contain over 500,000 metric…

It was a sunny, unremarkable Monday in April. Demand was low, just 25 GW, well below winter peaks, and wholesale power prices hovered around €18.5/MWh as solar generation surged across the Iberian Peninsula. At first glance, the conditions seemed ideal for a high-renewables day. But behind the scenes, several things were already going wrong. A large number of high-voltage (400 kV) transmission lines in central Spain were offline for maintenance. One of the two HVDC interconnectors to France was down. And while Spain was exporting power at…

On Monday June 23, 2025, Iran launched a missile strike on the U.S. Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar—a retaliatory move following U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities over the weekend. Explosions were reported near Doha, and additional strikes were reported against American assets in Iraq. We would normally expect such developments to send oil prices soaring. Instead, crude prices fell by 6% in late Monday trading. That decline may seem puzzling at first. After all, this was a direct Iranian attack on the largest U.S. military base in…
