Introduction: Nuclear’s Second Wind Nuclear energy occupies a paradoxical position in the twenty-first century energy landscape. Once heralded as the technology that would deliver limitless, clean electricity, it fell into prolonged disrepute following the accidents at Three Mile Island (1979), Chernobyl (1986), and Fukushima (2011). Decades of regulatory tightening, cost overruns, and public mistrust combined

For decades, Australia’s economy has been fundamentally underpinned by large-scale extraction and export of fossil fuels. The country consistently ranks among the world’s top three exporters of coal and liquefied natural gas (LNG), historically supplying the basic energy needs of Asia’s largest industrial economies. Yet today, Australia’s energy sector is undergoing the most sweeping structural
The illusion of absolute energy independence is one of the most common myths in public policy. For small countries or states whose infrastructure has suffered critical destruction, attempts to achieve full autarky are not only economically unfeasible but also technically dangerous. Small energy systems (like Moldova’s) or systems that have lost a significant portion of

The European power system is rapidly changing under the influence of the growing share of renewable energy sources, primarily solar and wind.

As a result, situations are occurring more frequently in which more electricity is
After several years of energy crises, political declarations, and loud promises, the world is entering a phase where infrastructure is key. The year 2026 is not a symbolic date for the energy transition — it is the year when a number of major projects move from planning to full operation, establishing a new logic for

For decades, Argentina lived with a paradox all too familiar to every energy expert: the country possesses exceptional resources — world-class shale gas, high-quality lithium, and vast wind and solar potential — yet it consistently failed to convert this wealth into stable growth. Macroeconomic volatility and unpredictable rules of the game repeatedly interrupted investment cycles.
In the years 2026–2035, the world will enter a period of the most massive transformation of energy markets in modern history. Countries are revising energy production and consumption models, investing in decarbonization, and forming new supply chains for critical materials. Against this backdrop, the question is increasingly being raised: can India move beyond its status

In 2025, the issue of energy security has once again moved to the center of European politics. After wars, sanctions, price shocks, and the accelerated “green transition,” Europe is entering a new phase in which energy is no longer just a technical or economic sector. It becomes the foundation of geopolitics, industrial strategy, and national

In 2025, energy finally ceased to be just an economic category — it has become the main instrument of global politics. After several years of wars, sanctions, and an accelerated “green transition,” the world has entered a new phase of energy geopolitics, where the boundaries between allies and competitors are often blurred. Europe is trying
