A UN report revealed that climate change will increasingly be a global issue that requires immediate actions, something that makes us more inclined to support carbon-negative technologies.

With Russia threatening to further raise energy prices and withhold supplies, Europe must focus on becoming self-sustaining when it comes to energy.

With costs rising for offshore drillers, there could be a move by this driller to welcome joint venture partners to reduce financial pressure and risks.

Moving overhead power lines underground seems like a no-brainer, but could the idea create even more problems for utilities and consumers alike?

Investors typically associate hurricane events with the summer season, yet increasing developments in unconventional drilling may cause a similar production shortfall in the winter thanks to the polar vortex.

At what point do energy independence and the social cost of carbon collide when it comes to U.S. power sources?

Natural gas prices are at the highest levels in four years, yet many were not prepared for this.

There has been a lot of naysayers on ethanol but rising margins and new feedstocks are hard to ignore which may bode very well for this industry player.

The moratorium on fracking in the state of New York expires next year, but talks about whether or not to let the controversial drilling method proceed are already heating up.

With climate change acknowledged, is the U.S. making a mistake by endorsing an all-of-the-above energy policy?

The underdog story is one that grips the hearts and minds of many sports fans around the world, and that's something that may also soon correlate with the offshore wind industry right here in the U.S.

The uranium ETF is at the highest levels since September, and miners in the space are showing signs of investor interest three years post-Fukushima, so is now the time to get back into the sector?

Oil majors have been wrestling with investing in Russia for years, so now under the Olympic spotlight, let's hope the Games focus on sport and not security lapses.

The World Economic Forum in Davos is a place where leaders, corporate executives and deal movers/shakers congregate to exchange ideas about the future and this year there is a underlying focus on energy we'd like to examine.

Many people interested in energy are focused on new developments in Europe's largest economy but do Merkel and co. actually have a good plan?

During President Obama's State of the Union address, the focus for energy was really on natural gas and, to some degree, solar, but should his agenda be aimed more strongly at this area?

The tech giant makes a bold move that shows cleantech is alive and kicking, and that could result in a higher integration of learning software and hardware in the future.

Often we hear about renewable energy stories dominated by solar and wind power, but can this energy source overcome comparisons to fracking and become a hot area for growth domestically and abroad?

The amount of water shortages around the world is simply startling, and that means clean potable water is vital, and the advancement of next generation energy should proceed without the reliance on Blue Gold.

The subject of cleantech is often portrayed as an underperforming sector, but many successes are not given their rightful praise publicly; trying to disrupt the traditional fossil fuel dynamic should be applauded, not put down.
