Ed. Note: This post reproduces an advertisement in the Wall Street Journal (April 30, 2026) by central European energy company Orlen, titled “The Baltic Eagle Gas Hub Is Emerging as Europe’s Energy Firewall.” It documents how changed prices and profit opportunities have and will demote the Strait of Hormuz for petroleum and LNG transportation “as if led by an invisible hand”.
“By linking regional markets with global ones, the Baltic Eagle Gas Hub is emerging as part of a new energy-security architecture in Europe—one based not only on diversification of supply, but also on flexibility, regional cooperation, and the ability to respond quickly to shifts in the global environment.”
Rising geopolitical tensions are rippling through global energy markets, with fuel supplies increasingly used as instruments of influence. Countries are responding by diversifying where they buy energy to reduce dependence on any single source.…

MasterResource has documented many Desmog backfires where the evidence presented would be pretty much accepted by the targeted person–and most folks outside of the Climate Industrial Complex (including academics wed to ‘the cause’).
Not surprisingly, the DeSmog hit list has expanded to suggest a majority. The waiting list for inclusion is huge. I have suggested that many more be profiled as a badge of honor, of courage.
Here is the latest: a repeat on Roger Pilke Jr. that presents his legitimate, common-sense views. The open-minded alarmist is invited to follow Pielke’s empirically derived research to cure “climate anxiety,” in fact.

“Today, residential electricity rates in the Northeast are twice as high as those in the Midwest or South and climbing fast. High natural gas prices, weather disasters and rising transmission costs are major factors, but clean energy mandates also add costs….”
“Ms. Hochul, Mr. Lamont and Ms. Healey have also expressed openness to new natural gas pipelines…. A few smaller pipeline expansions have begun moving forward.
A sea change in energy policy is occurring in the U.S., which represents one-fourth of the world economy. And this change is increasingly pushing the world to ditch Net Zero and let the best energies win in a free and open marketplace.
The latest recognition of this came in a recent New York Times summation, “Northeast States Set Big Climate Goals. Now Those Plans Are in Trouble.”…
