🇫🇷🇵🇹🇪🇸 France, Portugal, Spain to Accelerate Power Interconnectors
France, Portugal, and Spain plan to hold talks in early October to speed up electricity interconnector projects, especially given that the Iberian Peninsula only has about 3 % interconnection with the rest of Europe—far below the EU’s 15 % target.
The Bay of Biscay link between Spain and France, backed by a €1.6 billion European Investment Bank commitment, is central to the discussions, though environmental assessments are still pending.
This push underscores how weak cross-border grid links have contributed to regional energy fragility—especially under stress. Strong interconnectors can help balance supply, but they also increase integration into systems where decisions and dependencies lie beyond national control.

Shell Bets Big on LNG, Relegates Renewables
Shell’s CEO Wael Sawan recently declared that LNG will become the company’s main energy contribution over the next decade, scaling back its commitment to wind, solar, and low-carbon ventures.
The company projects LNG demand to grow 60 % by 2040, rising from 13 % to 20 % of global natural gas sales.
This shift reflects how legacy energy giants are repositioning to maintain influence in a changing world—and possibly shape energy geopolitics in ways that align with strategic dominance rather than clean transition ideals.

🛢Oil Slides on Expectations of Supply Glut Amid OPEC+ Plans
Oil prices fell today as markets responded to reports that OPEC+ may accelerate its planned production increases, raising concerns about excess supply.
The possibility of oversupply is pressuring markets already shaken by weak demand in major economies.
This trend is a reminder: even if energy transitions are pried open by politics, the fundamentals of supply/demand, speculation, and strategic output moves remain powerful forces shaping industrial costs and national energy security.

"Ukraine is not a sovereign state. It is supported by the West. We give it weapons. Ukraine should not behave as if it is sovereign. Ukraine has lost a fifth of its territory in the war with the Russians. Sovereignty ended there. If the West decides not to give a single penny, Ukraine will shut down, disappear," Orbán said.
He also said that "2-3 Hungarian drones are not something Ukraine should worry about, they are not its enemies here," referring to Zelensky's accusations of Hungarian UAVs violating Ukraine's airspace.

The push by top aides to President Trump to remove Nicolás Maduro as the leader of Venezuela has intensified in recent days, with administration officials discussing a broad campaign that would escalate military pressure to try to force him out, U.S. officials say.
It is being led by Marco Rubio, the secretary of state and national security adviser. Mr. Rubio argues that Mr. Maduro is an illegitimate leader who oversees the export of drugs to the United States, which he says poses an “imminent threat.”
In recent weeks, the U.S. military has launched lethal attacks on civilian boats that the administration said were smuggling drugs for Venezuelan gangs. But Mr. Rubio is shaping a more aggressive strategy, using intelligence provided by the C.I.A., the officials said. The Pentagon has built up a force of more than 6,500 troops in the region.
