Energy shapes how homes, businesses and communities power daily life, from fuels and grids to efficiency and emerging technologies. This topic explores the systems, policies and innovations influencing supply, demand and resilience. Publish Nexus provides clear context for understanding energy choices, trade-offs and long-term change.
U.S. strikes on Iranian rocket launchers have renewed concern over oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz, lifting crude prices and weighing on U.S. equity futures at the start of a new trading week.
A new estimate places the gross extra cost of seaborne fossil-fuel imports at USD 330 billion from March to August 2026, underscoring how the Hormuz disruption has redistributed costs across the global economy.
Britain’s effort to weed speculative data-centre applications out of electricity connection queues exposes a wider problem: how to allocate scarce grid capacity while supporting digital growth without inflating costs for consumers.
A new candidate pledge links the local costs of data-centre construction to a broader agenda for binding AI oversight, worker protections and corporate accountability.
Ulanqab’s emergence as an AI computing hub shows how China is pairing demand for artificial intelligence with the energy, land and network advantages of its interior regions.
Europe’s 2026 heat and drought have exposed how rising cooling demand, constrained river flows and stressed generation assets can combine into a sharper electricity-security risk.
ESS Tech and Juniper Energy have signed a non-binding framework for at least 500 MWh of sodium-ion storage in the United States, beginning with a planned 80 MWh California project targeted for 2027.
The rapid expansion of data centers has turned artificial intelligence from an abstract technology debate into a practical political conflict over electricity, water, land and public accountability.
District cooling can cut peak electricity demand and improve cooling efficiency in dense urban districts, but it is a targeted infrastructure tool rather than a universal cure for extreme heat.
