If you need to know Latvia\u2019s solar power generation over the past couple of years (1.4 Terrawatt Hours and 2.0 respectively), this is the place to look. Last year the world produced 600 Exajoules of energy, +1.7% year-on-year with a 1.4% ten year CAGR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Energy production (and consumption, since we overwhelmingly consume what we produce) has been rising as far back as reliable data exists. This has been punctuated only by brief pauses for recessions, such as the 2008-09 Great Financial Crisis or the 2020 Pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/b3547620.smushcdn.com\/3547620\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Blog-Images-July-26-2026-1.jpg?lossy=2&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1\" alt=\"energy production chart\" class=\"wp-image-24521 lazyload\" title=\"Blog Images July 26 2026 1\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/b3547620.smushcdn.com\/3547620\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Blog-Images-July-26-2026-1-1030x579.jpg?lossy=2&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the big failings of the International Energy Agency (IEA) was to publish forecasts showing declining global energy consumption. This was to support their agenda to help the world eliminate Greenhouse Gas (GHGs) emissions by 2050. Global energy consumption is only going to fall once the population does \u2013 an increasingly likely scenario later this century given declining birthrates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the IEA\u2019s wishful thinking was another loss of credibility for environmental extremists. Developing countries want OECD-like living standards, and their quest for increased energy consumption is the defining feature of the world\u2019s energy needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/b3547620.smushcdn.com\/3547620\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Blog-Images-July-26-2026-2.jpg?lossy=2&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1\" alt=\"ghg emissions chart\" class=\"wp-image-24522 lazyload\" title=\"Blog Images July 26 2026 2\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/b3547620.smushcdn.com\/3547620\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Blog-Images-July-26-2026-2-1030x579.jpg?lossy=2&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GHGs reached 41 Gigatonnes (GTs), a new record. Since 1990 all of the 17GTs increase has been from developing (non-OECD) countries, with China 58% of that. However, last year the US increase in GHGs was almost half the world\u2019s total. China was roughly flat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">US GDP growth of 2.9% was double the EU\u2019s 1.4% \u2014 Europe is not an example that we want to emulate here. So higher emissions reflect economic strength. But US coal consumption also jumped by 10%, reflecting White House policy choices. China\u2019s coal consumption was flat but is still 9X the US. The unavoidable math is that China and other big developing countries are the source of increased emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/b3547620.smushcdn.com\/3547620\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Blog-Images-July-26-2026-3.jpg?lossy=2&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1\" alt=\"renewable output by source chart\" class=\"wp-image-24523 lazyload\" title=\"Blog Images July 26 2026 3\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/b3547620.smushcdn.com\/3547620\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Blog-Images-July-26-2026-3-1030x579.jpg?lossy=2&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">US renewables output grew strongly last year, led by solar which jumped 28%. Even wind output grew 3%, in spite of the President\u2019s antipathy. If Trump was so moved, he could claim to be a global leader on renewables too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Europe, the global leader on growth-stifling energy policies and high prices, saw a modest decline in windpower and overall almost no growth in renewables output. Apologists blamed the weather. Wind was unreliable and showed up in the wrong places. They blame climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">China saw growth across wind, solar and hydro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Different policies are driving these outcomes. China is motivated by energy security \u2013 their EV fleet runs largely on coal. They favor domestic energy above all else. The growth in crude imports was all driven by non-transportation demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/b3547620.smushcdn.com\/3547620\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Blog-Images-July-26-2026-4.jpg?lossy=2&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1\" alt=\"power generation source chart\" class=\"wp-image-24524 lazyload\" title=\"Blog Images July 26 2026 4\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/b3547620.smushcdn.com\/3547620\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Blog-Images-July-26-2026-4-1030x579.jpg?lossy=2&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Europe wants lower emissions more than it wants GDP growth. US policy has flipped somewhat, but the net result is the most market driven of the three.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Interestingly, the growth in global renewables output of 861 Terrawatt hours (Twhs) exceeded the growth in total electricity demand of 855 Twhs, the first time it\u2019s ever happened. Pakistan got 22% of its power from solar last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/b3547620.smushcdn.com\/3547620\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Blog-Images-July-26-2026-5.jpg?lossy=2&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1\" alt=\"world total energy supply in 2025 by source chart\" class=\"wp-image-24525 lazyload\" title=\"Blog Images July 26 2026 5\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/b3547620.smushcdn.com\/3547620\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Blog-Images-July-26-2026-5-1030x579.jpg?lossy=2&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nonetheless, the world runs on hydrocarbons, with 86.2% of the world\u2019s total energy supply coming from coal, oil and gas.

This was before Ukrainian drones started attacking Russian energy infrastructure and Iran\u2019s closure of the Strait of Hormuz impeded Middle East exports. The throughput figures for this year will show further losses, which is keeping refining margins high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/b3547620.smushcdn.com\/3547620\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Blog-Images-July-26-2026-7.jpg?lossy=2&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1\" alt=\"lng trade flows chart\" class=\"wp-image-24527 lazyload\" title=\"Blog Images July 26 2026 7\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/b3547620.smushcdn.com\/3547620\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Blog-Images-July-26-2026-7-1030x579.jpg?lossy=2&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Natural gas remains a big US success story. It provides 22% of the world\u2019s electricity but 41% of ours, versus 5% and 3% in Europe and China respectively. &nbsp;It\u2019s cheap, and we\u2019re the world\u2019s #1 LNG exporter. The US is Europe\u2019s biggest LNG supplier, and Qatar\u2019s continued inability to honor its contracts enhances our competitive position every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/b3547620.smushcdn.com\/3547620\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Blog-Images-July-26-2026-8.jpg?lossy=2&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1\" alt=\"data center power demand\" class=\"wp-image-24528 lazyload\" title=\"Blog Images July 26 2026 8\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/b3547620.smushcdn.com\/3547620\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Blog-Images-July-26-2026-8-1030x579.jpg?lossy=2&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The AI Revolution is visible in data center power demand, growing at a 14% CAGR over the past five years, during which it\u2019s gone from 1.5% of total power consumption to 2.4%. As with many metrics in energy, the US is biggest while China\u2019s growing faster. Cheap natural gas provides a critical advantage for America in this arena. Data centers consumed 6.5% of our power generation last year. The Department of Energy expects the share to reach 9-12% by 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/b3547620.smushcdn.com\/3547620\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Blog-Images-July-26-2026-9.jpg?lossy=2&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1\" alt=\"us energy consumption by source chart\" class=\"wp-image-24529 lazyload\" title=\"Blog Images July 26 2026 9\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/b3547620.smushcdn.com\/3547620\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Blog-Images-July-26-2026-9-1030x579.jpg?lossy=2&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of my favorite charts is the last one, showing that the US energy transition from coal to gas is the only one worth talking about. Gas consumption has increased on an energy equivalent basis more than three times as much as renewables. That doesn\u2019t include gas exports, which are helping to displace coal in other countries too. Solar and wind have received disproportionate attention. America\u2019s economic success is built on natural gas, and that\u2019s not going to change anytime soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8212;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
