@IEA Long permitting & construction timelines can push breakeven points for new large nuclear reactors to 20-30 years after the project start, making it a tough proposition for commercial lenders. SMRs can bring the breakeven point forward, making the investment case more promising

Russia’s gas export revenues have fallen sharply – they're now 40% lower than before the invasion. As @IEA has highlighted, a major new wave of LNG supply, mainly from the US & Qatar, is coming and could help Europe cut its Russian LNG imports dramatically within the next 2 years

The approaching Age of Electricity is powering a big surge in copper demand, driven by grids, batteries, EVs & renewables. But today's trends suggest a 30% copper supply deficit by 2035, raising energy security risks. This calls for more mining investment, innovation & recycling
