The Energy Transition
Grids, fuels, and the race to power civilization without wrecking the climate.
The energy transition is the shift from fossil fuels to clean power — and it is the single biggest lever on emissions. Our energy desk covers the grid, solar and wind, storage, and the geopolitics of oil and critical minerals. We report where the transition is winning, where it is stuck, and what energy security really means in an age of AI-driven demand and supply shocks.
This desk covers
- Solar, wind & the grid
- Oil & energy security
