Arctic gas plants hit as Kyiv claims deep-range drone strike amid Russian onslaught

Russian strikes killed at least 11 people across Ukraine (Mykolaiv, Sumy, Dnipro, Odesa and Donetsk) with dozens wounded, even as Kyiv said its forces carried out a deep-range drone attack that hit two Russian gas plants in the Arctic. Separate Russian strikes damaged civilian infrastructure, including a shopping centre in Sumy and facilities in Donetsk, while two Azerbaijani crewmembers were killed near Odesa; Ukraine’s claim of the Arctic attack marked a notable escalation.

Ukraine widens war reach with Arctic gas-plant strikes

Ukraine conducted its deepest-ever strike into Russia, hitting two Arctic gas-processing plants near Novy Urengoy and in the Purovsky district with FP-1 drones, signaling expanded long-range capabilities and potential disruption to Russia’s energy exports, a development with implications for European gas supplies as the EU pursues energy diversification amid sanctions; no casualties were reported.

Europe’s gas squeeze shaped by shifting sources and Washington’s energy edge

Europe’s gas squeeze shaped by shifting sources and Washington’s energy edge

Europe faces a tight winter as gas storage sits well below the 90% target and LNG supply tightens, pushing up prices and forcing a pivot toward northern sources like Norway. The backdrop includes Russia turning off pipelines long ago and geopolitics raising questions about relying on U.S. LNG amid Trump’s energy dominance, prompting Europe to diversify, invest in North Sea production, and shore up energy security even as renewables remain a longer‑term hedge. Canada and the U.K. also highlight parallel energy‑policy moves aimed at controlling costs and boosting supply, underscoring a broad scramble to insulate economies from volatile gas markets.

Australian fart study reveals daily average, peak timings, and the gassiest age group

Australian fart study reveals daily average, peak timings, and the gassiest age group

A large Australian study of 6,400 participants logged 360,192 farts to determine how often people fart daily (about five on average, with a median of 3.8). Men fart slightly more than women, the 26–45 age group is the gassiest, and farts peak after dinner with smaller spikes in the morning, afternoon, and late evening. The findings are lower than some past estimates, likely due to nighttime logging gaps, and underscore that farting is normal—though excessive gas can hint at dietary sensitivities or health conditions.

Gas-Fired Power Bills Jump to 17-Year High, Lazard Data Show

Gas-Fired Power Bills Jump to 17-Year High, Lazard Data Show

Bloomberg, citing Lazard’s analysis, reports the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) for US gas-fired plants rose to about $90 per megawatt-hour in 2026, up from $78 in 2025 and the highest since 2009. Solar and onshore wind costs also climbed to $69/MWh and $68/MWh, respectively. The rise reflects stronger demand (including data centers) and higher fuel costs, helping explain higher utility bills and underscoring energy-cost concerns ahead of upcoming elections.

Ukraine targets Russia’s gas hub and satellite centers in nighttime strikes

Ukrainian forces conducted overnight strikes on Russia, hitting the Orenburg Gas Processing Plant—one of the world’s largest gas complexes and a helium producer—and two military satellite-communications centers near Dubna and in the Vladimir region, as part of Kyiv’s campaign to disrupt energy facilities and military infrastructure with long-range weapons.

How Costco’s Gas Prices Keep Members Coming Back

How Costco’s Gas Prices Keep Members Coming Back

Costco undercuts local gas stations by roughly 30 cents per gallon and uses the resulting high-volume gas sales to drive store traffic and membership value. While gas is a thin-margin product, the company profits mainly from membership fees, with gas helping boost overall warehouse purchases. When gas prices rise, Costco often gains from volume and loyalty; when prices fall, margins tighten but the churn and foot traffic can still support long‑term growth.

California gas-tax debate heats up as Trump pushes federal relief

With California’s drivers paying among the highest prices in the nation, Gov. Gavin Newsom faces growing pressure to suspend the state’s 61-cent gas tax even as President Trump advocates a temporary federal gas‑tax pause. Supporters say relief is needed, but Newsom and others warn that a federal pause would not fix underlying costs or fund road repairs, and state lawmakers have shown little appetite to suspend the state tax. Any federal action would require Congress, complicating the relief effort.

Trump’s ‘nuclear option’ on oil exports could lower gas prices, but at what cost?

The Independent reports that Donald Trump reportedly has a theoretical 'nuclear option' to lower U.S. gas prices by restricting crude exports, a move that could temporarily boost domestic supply but risk sparking a global recession and major trade frictions; White House officials say the idea isn’t under consideration, while analysts warn any price relief would likely be short‑lived given U.S. dependence on foreign crude and ongoing tensions with Iran, with gas averaging about $4.53 a gallon.

Iran's Oil System Poised to Weather Shutdowns, but Gas Output Faces Greater Risk

Iran's Oil System Poised to Weather Shutdowns, but Gas Output Faces Greater Risk

The Center on Global Energy Policy argues that Iran’s oil sector can likely weather production shut-ins caused by the U.S. blockade, with potential cuts up to about half of pre-war output to avoid full storage, and a relatively quick recovery to around 70% of capacity if the blockade eases. However, gas fields are at greater risk due to lack of outlets for associated hydrocarbons, requiring rationing among exports, power, industry, and domestic use, and long-run capacity could erode from sanctions and financing/tech constraints. The analysis covers key Iranian oil regions (Khuzestan, West Karoun, offshore fields) and the giant South Pars gas field, noting that while oil restarts are typically feasible, gas output faces tighter constraints that could limit overall capacity over time.
