The "New Map" of 2026 is here, and it was drawn with a wrench.
The collapse of Russian gas to Europe wasn't just a byproduct of the Ukraine war.
It is the start of a new structural rewiring of the world.#EnergyPolitics #2026 #Ukraine

Gina Rinehart suddenly deciding taxes are terrible when they touch gas profits is peak billionaire logic. If windfall taxes are “unfair,” maybe the real issue is letting multinational fossil fuel giants pocket our natural wealth while everyone else cops the costs. Tax the windfall, fund public services, and stop pretending “energy security” means corporate security.
The AFR can bang the drum against a gas windfall tax all it likes, but it’s worth remembering its parent company has big shareholders who may benefit from mining and resource profits. That doesn’t prove the argument is wrong, but it does make the billionaire panic look a lot less convincing.

This story is spreading because it feels bigger than a tax dispute. It sounds like a public trust dispute.

The Seduction of Simple Answers
A seductive theory claims the US-Israel war on Iran is driven by LNG profits. It sounds convincing. It is also wrong. When examined closely, the market logic collapses, leaving behind a far messier and more dangerous reality.https://urbanwronski.com/2026/03/30/the-seduction-of-simple-answers/

After the U.S. Secretary of State’s visit to Hungary and Slovakia, pressure on Ukraine over energy is rising. Ukraine stopped Russian oil transit — in a war against Russia, that’s no surprise. Solidarity shouldn’t depend on pipelines. #Ukraine #EnergyPolitics #Europe #Geopolitics #SupportUkraine

Powerplays & Politics: Has Big Oil Regained Control?
Despite the green surge, recent political shifts suggest fossil fuel giants are fighting back for control of the energy agenda. We look at the lobbying and policy maneuvers threatening to slow down the global energy transition. Is the "Green Rush" being throttled by old energy interests?

Gas statt Werte: Wie Trump Europas Energieabhängigkeit zu Cash für seine Familie macht Link —> https://youtube.com/shorts/bRJszAjHxuo?si=MWh102D6l9aR0tH-
Trump blockierte Nord Stream nicht aus Sicherheitsgründen, sondern aus Profitinteresse. Günstiges Gas hätte Europa unabhängiger gemacht. Stattdessen teures US-Gas. Profitieren nicht Bürger, sondern Trump und sein Umfeld. America First wird Trump-Family-First.

"I addresses the following empirical puzzle – how can we explain the IRA’s environmentally contradictory combination of decarbonization efforts alongside further embedding fossil fuel production? I argue that this ‘one step forward, two steps back’ approach to energy transition emerged from state officials’ reactivation of a Hobbesian–Hamiltonian nexus between sovereignty, security, and prosperity in response to changing global conditions. Neo-Hamiltonian discourse strategically enfolded energy policy with broader goals of industrial modernization, prosperity, and national security, subordinating decarbonization within hybrid logics. Domestic decarbonization is balanced with maintenance of existing interdependencies between an expanded American shale oil and gas sector, economic growth, and the geopolitical leverage of American energy exports. This strategy is fundamentally unstable."
