Global trade appears fluid and resilient, but depends on a handful of narrow chokepoints. The Strait of Hormuz reveals how energy, logistics and geopolitics converge — and how fragile a system becomes when continuity is assumed rather than secured.
Energy Infrastructure
The energy systems and networks that power modern economies, from electricity grids and renewable generation to the infrastructure supporting energy security and the global energy transition.
Europe faces a deciding moment in its energy transition. As industry, climate goals and geopolitics converge, the continent must choose between competing pathways — and determine whether nuclear power can anchor a stable, competitive and sovereign energy future. ⚡
A new global nuclear race is underway. As the United States, China and Russia accelerate their strategies, Europe faces mounting pressure to keep up. This article explores how technology, geopolitics and industrial ambition are reshaping the future of nuclear energy. ⚡
As Europe reconsiders nuclear energy, a new industrial race is underway. Small Modular Reactors promise faster construction and lower costs, but their success depends on mass production, supply chains and global competition to shape the future of carbon-free power. ⚡
Europe’s energy debate is shifting. As climate targets tighten, electricity demand rises and geopolitical tensions reshape energy security, nuclear power is returning to the policy agenda. This article explores why Brussels is reconsidering the atomic option alongside wind and solar. ⚡
For decades, France was the envy of industrial Europe. While its neighbours wrestled with carbon targets, volatile gas markets and energy imports, Paris relied on a vast, state-led nuclear system that delivered cheap, stable and largely carbon-free electricity. France appeared to have solved the energy puzzle long before the rest of the continent even agreed on the rules.
