Colombia's Cocaine Trade Now Outearns Its Oil Exports

Drug lords in Colombia are making more money from cocaine than the government is making from crude oil sales, a report from a Colombian university has found. At $16.5 billion for 2024, cocaine revenues surpassed oil export revenues, which stood at around $15 billion that year, UPI reported, citing the research from EAFIT University. Oil export revenues, however, remain Colombia’s largest export revenue generator, the research showed. Together with coal exports, oil exceeds the illicit trade in c

Geothermal Could Power 65 Million U.S. Homes by 2050, DOE Says

“It’s going to be the decade of geothermal,” Cindy Taff, chief executive of geothermal company Sage Geosystems, told The Hill in February of 2025. Over a year later, it is becoming increasingly evident that Taff is definitely onto something. Although geothermal energy is still a tiny sector and faces some significant headwinds when it comes to its up-front installation and development costs, it has numerous competitive edges over other, more common energy sources. It’s clean, it’s constant, it’s

Asia's Crude Buying Spree Is Running Out of Steam

Asian refiners have reduced their spot purchases of Middle East crude for loading this month and next, following three weeks in which they had purchased millions of barrels of UAE, Saudi, and Iraqi crude. Lingering uncertainties about the navigability of the Strait of Hormuz and high freight costs have deterred Asian buyers from continuing the buying spree that began earlier this month, with millions of barrels of Abu Dhabi crude snapped up in spot trades. Incentives to Buy Immediately Wane Yet,

TF-Bank General Terms and Conditions Change

Today I received an email from TF Bank about the changes to the terms and conditions asking me to agree and I'm a little surprised about them. For me, the assignment of salary in the event of default by the employer reads as a horror scenario. If you miss the payment, is there direct garnishment information to the employer or what? I practically never use the card itself and it is only intended as a diversification (Mastercard, insurance) and I pay it back straight away when I use it. I'm just thinking,

SpaceX Wants to Fuel Its Mars Ambitions With Its Own Gas Pipeline

SpaceX has spent years trying to reinvent rockets. Now it's coming after midstream. The aerospace giant plans to begin construction next month on an eight-mile natural gas pipeline dubbed "Starpipe" that will feed its Starbase launch facility in South Texas, according to filings reviewed by Reuters. The pipeline is expected to be operational by January and marks the latest step in Elon Musk's increasingly ambitious plan to control nearly every link in the Starship supply chain.

Gas Prices Are Falling. Your July 4 Fill-Up Still Won't Feel Cheap.

The good news is that gasoline prices have been falling for six straight weeks. The bad news? Americans are still heading into one of the most expensive Independence Day weekends they've ever seen. GasBuddy projects the national average price of gasoline will be about $3.75 per gallon on July 4—the second-highest on record, trailing only the $4.80 per gallon reached during the energy crisis of 2022. That's a far cry from May, when the closure of the Strait of Hormuz sent gasoline prices soaring

Lithium Prices Tumble As Traders Brace For CATL Supply Surge

Lithium carbonate futures in China fell ~10% over two trading sessions, dropping to a 10-week low of approximately 157,000 yuan ($23,175) per tonne on Tuesday following market speculation that China’s EV battery giant, Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. (CATL), may soon restart its massive Jianxiawo mine. Reports from authorities in Jiangxi Province show that CATL’s Jianxiawo lithium mine in Yichun passed a preliminary land pre-review and site selection, with the Jiangxi Provincial Department o

Macron calls Évian a ‘turning point’: Trump signed the joint G7 statement on Ukraine’s territorial integrity and sanctions, and for the first time said Russia, not Ukraine, has to make a deal

The communiqué language is boilerplate. “Unwavering support for Ukraine’s freedom, sovereignty and territorial integrity,” more air defence and interceptors, long-range capability, tougher sanctions on Russian oil and gas. None of that is new. What’s new is whose signature is on it. Trump signed, after months of the US leaning toward a neutral-broker stance. Macron called it an “Évian moment” and “a very profound shift,” pointing specifically to a US “willingness to work with the Europeans in su

‘Alligator Alcatraz’ migrant detention centre has closed, Florida governor DeSantis says

“Alligator Alcatraz”, the remote Florida immigration detention centre that faced harsh criticism for its conditions, has shut down nearly a year after opening, Governor Ron DeSantis said on Thursday. DeSantis said the centre at an isolated airstrip in the Everglades was always meant to be only temporary until more permanent detention facilities could be secured, and federal officials now have that capacity. “It served its purpose for the time,” the Republican governor said at a news...

US assures India over AI ‘kill switch’ as ‘Pax Silica’ expands in bid to counter China

The United States has assured India that future artificial intelligence models will not be “cut off” days after Washington abruptly banned Anthropic’s advanced models on national security grounds, a senior Indian official told the South China Morning Post on Thursday. “There was an understanding, and something that they [US officials] certainly mentioned, that access to technology, once it is provided, will not be cut off.

Russia Turns Asia’s Oil Shock Into an Indonesian Opening

Russia has emerged as one of the clearest commercial beneficiaries of the US-Israel war with Iran. Before March 2026, buying Russian crude was widely treated as a sanctions risk that only Chinese and, to a lesser extent, Indian private companies could comfortably absorb. The first US waiver for Russian barrels, announced on March 12, changed that calculation. It showed that, during a major Middle Eastern supply disruption, Asia could not balance its oil market without Russian crude, and even Was

Major Saudi Oil Terminal Roars Back to Life as Gulf Supply Recovery Accelerates

Saudi Arabia's biggest oil export terminal is finally stirring back to life, and that's a much bigger deal than another headline about the Strait of Hormuz reopening. After sitting largely idle since early March, Saudi Aramco is preparing to resume crude loadings at Ras Tanura, with multiple very large crude carriers owned by Bahri moving toward the Ju'aymah offshore loading area on Thursday, according to Bloomberg vessel-tracking data.

UK Energy Secretary Vetoed Plan to Boost Oil Output for Defense Funds

UK Energy Secretary Ed Miliband has vetoed a plan by the Treasury to boost North Sea oil and gas drilling in order to fund part of Britain’s increased defense funding needs, The Telegraph reported on Thursday, citing a government source. As the UK plans to increase funding for military programs and rearmament amid heightened geopolitical tensions, the Treasury has proposed a plan to boost drilling in the UK North Sea and use the higher tax revenues from said drilling to fund part of the $24 bill

Asia treads cautiously on Iranian oil exports despite US sanctions waiver

Asian economies are expected to exercise caution in buying oil from Iran following a 60-day sanctions waiver for the Gulf country’s oil exports that took effect from Sunday, as they weigh compliance, financial risk and a potential return of hostilities between Washington and Tehran. Global markets have been looking for signs of progress that the United States and Iran could reach a lasting peace agreement despite concerns over the sustainability of a 60-day ceasefire that began earlier this...
