Bolivia Faces Fuel Shortage as Gas Reserves Dwindle Bolivia is confronting a severe fuel shortage as its natural gas reserves run dry, a situation the report ties to years of underinvestment in the country's gas industry. Energy prices, meanwhile, continue to climb, a trend the report attributes to the ongoing war in Iran. The shortages and the broad Europe Faces Higher Winter Fuel Costs as Supplies Tighten Europe is heading into winter with fuel costs expected to keep climbing after months of elevated energy prices. Growing seasonal demand is set to add to the pressure, and the region's gas reserves are reported to be running low ahead of the peak-demand months. The article frames the situation as a p Permian Wastewater Proposed for AI Data Center Cooling Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin have published a study suggesting that wastewater from the oil and gas industry could be used to cool artificial intelligence data centers. The work points to the Permian as a source of that water, connecting oilfield wastewater to the cooling require Brent 2027 Futures Stay Elevated as Iran War Drags On Oil markets have abandoned the assumption that the war between the United States, Israel and Iran will end soon. For roughly the first three months of the conflict, the prevailing expectation was a rapid conclusion, but that view has given way to one in which the fighting could extend into next year Victoria Approves 219-Turbine Warracknabeal Energy Park State planning authorities in Victoria, Australia, have approved the Warracknabeal Energy Park, a wind project billed as the largest in the Southern Hemisphere.
