Fed Raises Rates Following Past Mistakes: A Supply Shock Treated as a Demand Problem

September 16, 2026 Clark Savage101

On September 16, 2026, the Federal Reserve raised the federal funds target range by 25 basis points to 3.75–4.00 percent, its first hike since July 2023. The decision was unanimous. Chair Kevin Warsh and the FOMC cited elevated inflation and said the move would support a “timelier return” to the 2 percent goal. Economic activity […]

Canada may be slow walking off the pirate’s plank.

September 16, 2026 Clark Savage72

On September 16, 2026, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen used her State of the Union address in Strasbourg to invite Canada to become the European Union’s first “associate member.” Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney sat in the front row as guest of honor. The chamber gave him a standing ovation. Von der Leyen […]

South Korea’s Hyosung Heavy Industries has locked in ₩386.5 billion (about $277–$287 million) in ultra-high-voltage transformer contracts with two unnamed U.S. Big Tech companies for new AI data centers—one in the South and one in the North.

September 15, 2026 Clark Savage177

The award is smaller than some of Hyosung’s earlier 2026 utility mega-deals, but it is strategically important: hyperscalers are now buying grid hardware directly, and Hyosung is one of the few firms that can deliver 765 kV equipment from a U.S. factory. The split is ₩220 billion of 765 kV transformers for the southern site […]

September 15, 2026 Clark Savage84

American oil executives have spent months warning that a prolonged disruption of the Strait of Hormuz would eventually produce a fuel crisis rather than a simple crude shortage.

Middle East Escalation Meets China’s Return: Dual Chokepoints, Record Tanker Rates, and an Upward Spiral in Crude and Products

September 13, 2026 Clark Savage105

The Middle East energy map tightened sharply over the past week even as China resumed heavier crude buying. Houthi forces seized key Red Sea positions including Mocha and Perim Island, tightening control over the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and targeting Saudi-linked vessels.

Diesel and Refining Capacity Set to be the Inflationary Impact The Fed Can’t Control

September 12, 2026 Clark Savage150

The Federal Reserve can raise rates. The Treasury can issue bills. Neither institution can weld a crude distillation unit back together after a drone strike, add inches to a California products pipeline, or refill Gatun Lake. That is the story of September 2026: crude is still findable; diesel is not. The constraint has moved downstream, […]

Chevron’s CEO Says The Oil Buffers Are Gone

September 12, 2026September 12, 2026 Clark Savage211

Chevron Chairman and CEO Mike Wirth delivered a blunt message in Austin on Friday: the shock absorbers that kept oil from exploding earlier in the Iran war are finished. Strategic stockpile releases and the U.S. decision to loosen rules on sanctioned crude sitting in floating storage have been “played out.” From here, he said, it […]

September 11, 2026 Clark Savage126

Energy News Beat Channel — September 11, 2026 Hector Acevedo put the industry’s new map on the table this week: AI did not just raise electricity demand. It collapsed the old division of labor.
