Energy security isn’t built with opinions. It’s built with assets. When Adani Group developed the Carmichael coal mine in Australia, the objective was simple: ensure India has access to reliable, high-quality fuel when global supply chains fail or geopolitics turns uncertain. India still depends heavily on coal. Domestic coal...

In a recent TV interview, Vallabh Bhanshali — one of India’s most respected voices in finance and investment — offered an extraordinary assessment of Gautam Adani and the Adani Group. Bhanshali said Adani has “mastered the art of building great infrastructure at record speed and record scale.” But what stood out even more was his reflection on how Adani handled one of the toughest corporate crises in recent history — the Hindenburg episode. “When the Hindenburg attack came, it wasn’t just a blow to the Adani Group — it was a blow to the country,” Bhanshali said. “Every Adani asset was up for grabs. But Adani faced that turbulence with composure and focus. He could refinance himself because he had done the hard work — he finished projects on time, generated cash flows, and built real assets.” There’s a deeper lesson here. Adani didn’t survive the crisis because of luck or influence. He survived because of execution — because real infrastructure, finished on time, produces real cash flows. And when capital markets froze, those cash flows became his lifeline. In an era when headlines move faster than facts, Bhanshali’s words remind us that substance still triumphs over speculation. Resilience isn’t built in a moment — it’s built over decades of delivery, discipline, and daring. When a market sage like Vallabh Bhanshali praises someone, it isn’t flattery. It’s recognition. Recognition that India now has industrial leaders who can face global headwinds and still build world-class infrastructure that strengthens the nation. Speed. Scale. Steadiness. That’s the Adani formula Bhanshali wants India — and the world — to take note of.

Coal prices have risen internationally but Ukraine had nothing to do with #energy prices rising in Australia. Investment in #solar and #wind is to blame. It is important that the government in this country start facing reality and stop hiding the problem. The #Ukraine has nothing to do with #coal prices in this country. In fact, Australian coal prices did not rise at all under their existing long term contracts for our #coal-fired power stations. The government must stop misleading parliament that rising electricity prices in Australia are due to a war in the Ukraine. Massive solar and wind #subsidies are the cause of Australians suffering some of the highest #electricity prices in the world. Every time a coal fired power station is shut in this country we see yet the another spike in our power bills because unreliable #renewables cannot provide the same inexpensive baseload power supply. This government's Safeguard Mechanism Bill will add even more fines to reliable coal-fired power and yet more pain for Australian households. #UnitedNations #ClimateScam #Australia

Japan is lifting restrictions on coal power. Older, decommissioned plants are being brought back online. Japan depends heavily on imported LNG, with much of it passing through the Persian Gulf. Rising tensions in the Middle East are putting that supply at serious risk. Coal solves the problem. It can be sourced from diverse, stable suppliers and stockpiled domestically at scale. This reverses the country's green policy. Coal use was set to fall from about 31% in 2022 to 19% by 2030. Now capacity is being brought back. And this isn't isolated. Across Asia, governments are shifting priorities. They are hurriedly returning to reliability and ditching CO2 emission targets. Energy security trumps ideology.

In the Rajya Sabha today, I addressed key questions on coal exchange, coal gasification, and mine closure reforms. Under the leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the Government of India has brought greater transparency and efficiency to the allocation of coal blocks through open auctions. Today, nearly 73–74% of India’s power generation comes from coal-based thermal plants, with around 80% of the coal produced being supplied to the power sector. Critical industries such as cement, steel, and fertilisers also depend heavily on coal. India holds the world’s fifth-largest coal reserves, sufficient to meet our needs for the next 60–70 years. We are further strengthening this position by accelerating exploration activities. Today, India is the second-largest coal producer globally, and Coal India Limited remains the largest coal-producing company in the world. We have also made significant progress in coal gasification, with projects worth over ₹64,000 crore underway. Highlighted that there are two types of gasification — surface and underground. We are actively advancing surface gasification, while underground gasification technologies are being carefully studied. I will share further updates once these are finalised. On mine closure, 143 coal mines are currently undergoing scientific closure processes. Dedicated nodal officers have been appointed for each site, with oversight committees led by respective district collectors. These efforts are focused not only on environmental sustainability but also on generating employment opportunities and ensuring a just transition for affected communities. Watch here:

Germany built one of the largest wind and solar fleets on Earth. It dismantled its nuclear power stations and retired its coal, with the promise that green energy would power its future. The country spent billions transitioning. Then winter arrived, and Dunkelflaut hit - the dark windless dead zone. Wind and solar fell to barely 5% of demand. The grid staggered, and Germany was forced to fire up old coal plants it said had closed forever, and import expensive nuclear from France. This is the physics politicians fail to mention, and a point many people still fail to grasp. When the wind dies and the sun sets, renewables disappear. And the only way the grid survives, the only reason countless millions don't freeze to death, is thanks to oil, coal, nuclear and gas.

Britain has paid billions in subsidies to build thousands of turbines across its countryside. But when high pressure systems move in, wind collapses. During these calm spells, wind generation can fall to almost nothing, as low as 0.2% of the grid. When that happens, the grid scrambles. Coal is restarted, gas plants carry the bulk of the load and supply warnings are issued. This is the reality few in elected office seem to grasp. When the weather calms, which it regularly does, wind power disappears from the grid. Britain only stays online thanks to dispatchable energy systems picking up the slack. The country would be better off, both financially and in terms of energy security, if it simply ran off dispatchable power in the first place.

A cold winter is exposing Germany's energy choices. Natural gas storage levels are dropping fast. In Bavaria, one major site is just 6% full While nationally, storage has slipped below 38%, a level officially classified as "critical". Household supply is protected, for now, but Germany's industry is not. Energy-intensive factories, particularly in southern regions, face shutdown risk. Renewables are not covering the gap. Low wind and solar output has pushed fossil fuels back to supplying the majority of Germany's electricity, with retired coal plants called back into action to save the country from freezing to a halt. This is what happens when ideology replaces energy security.

#WATCH | Delhi: Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani says, "What has become even more obvious from the recent Middle East conflict and targeted attacks on infrastructure is that energy security and digital security are no longer independent dimensions. They are now the twin foundations of national power. And it is increasingly evident that the country that controls its energy will drive its industrial future. The country that controls its compute will drive its intelligence future, and the country that controls both will shape the century ahead. This is the new geometry of power. If 1947 was about our political freedom, true independence in the 21st century will mean owning the energy that lights our homes and the intelligence that guides our minds. This is not a theory. The two largest economies in the world, the United States and China, have understood this deeply. Their systems may be different. Their politics may be different. Their institutions may be different. But their strategic objectives are the same. No nation can call itself truly self-reliant if it depends on others for the energy that powers its economy or the intelligence that shapes its destiny."

It’s one thing when Blackout Bowen lies in Australia, because he knows the Australian media will let him get away with it. But when he peddles his lies on the international stage, he not only embarrasses Australia, but the whole world gets to see what a fool he is. To claim there is a "rapid transition to renewables" is a lie. There is no transition whatsoever. The facts are that the world is using more energy and The use of fossil fuels not only continues to increase, but fossil fuel use is increasing faster than the increase in renewables. To claim that "renewables" will overtake coal sometime this year, is a prediction about a future event, but it has as much chance as being true as Bowen’s predictions that electricity prices would be $275 lower. Last year coal provided almost 46,000 TWh of electricity - and with China going gang-busters building new fired power stations, that number will only increase. By comparison solar and wind combined 11,400 TWh

Pallone: Trump keeps saying, “Well, I don’t like the way solar panels look. I don’t like the way windmills look.” What the hell does that have to do with what we need to do in an energy crisis? The price of electricity keeps going up. And so they’ve taken the position—because of Trump—that they’re either going to eliminate renewables like solar or wind altogether, or they’re going to make them not a priority. That’s not based on what’s important for the American people—keeping energy affordable. If you don’t have an all-of-the-above energy policy that says, “Look, we need more energy, and we’re going to use nuclear, we’re going to use renewables, we’re going to use fossil fuels,” then you’re cutting off major sources of new energy generation, and prices are going to go through the roof. And then there’s the environmental aspect, because renewables don’t create the kinds of environmental problems that burning oil, gas, or coal does. I mean, one of the bills yesterday was to try to bring back coal in all its glory. Well, the price of coal is already so high that it would send electricity bills through the roof if you had to buy and burn it—not to mention the environmental damage.

🔥 The scam no one wants to touch... Everyone’s mad about coal & gas exports — fair enough. But where’s that same energy when it comes to the green energy scam? 💸 In 2024 alone: → $1 BILLION in hidden charges to run wind farms → 72% of those wind farms? Foreign-owned → Another $659 MILLION lost to solar “green” charges We don’t even own the infrastructure. We import the turbines. We import the panels. Mostly from China, who burn our coal to make them. We send them $10B in coal. We get $3B in “green tech” back. That’s a 70% shortfall. While Aussies struggle with rising power bills, the profits are heading overseas. This isn’t climate leadership. It’s economic betrayal. And let’s be real... It’s “cool” to bash fossil fuels. It’s not cool to call out the green energy scam. And it’s definitely not cool to talk about the unchecked migration crisis putting pressure on our housing, hospitals, and jobs. But I don’t give a f*ck what’s cool. I care about putting Australians first. About keeping our power affordable. About calling out a system that’s failing us — while pretending to save the planet. 🛑 Open every coal & gas plant 🛑 Ditch the green energy scam 🛑 Put Australians first It’s not political. It’s just common sense.

Bowen is either a dangerously incompetent fool who doesn’t have a clue what he’s talking about — or he’s sold us out to China and is deceiving Australians. China’s CO₂ output from coal-fired power is already higher than Australia’s on a per-capita basis. Bowen can be a useful idiot for China all he likes, but it doesn’t matter how many renewables China adds — these renewables are not replacing coal. China has no transition; it’s all addition. China has a further 484 GW of new coal capacity under construction or in development. This is in complete contrast to Australia’s position, where we have zero new coal plants under development, and “Blackout Bowen” is planning to close down the ones we have (21GW) and replace them with intermittent renewables. So China is going for more coal — and it’s all addition, with no transition — while Australia is all about attempted replacement. There’s a huge fundamental difference between the two positions. If Bowen doesn’t understand the difference, he should resign.Alternatively, if he does understand the difference and is gaslighting the Australian public to act as a useful idiot for China, he should likewise resign.

US Energy Secretary Chris Wright with a powerful message to Africans. In Washington DC, Chris Wright, the new administration’s energy secretary, took the stage and gave an impassioned speech on how concerns over climate change should not prevent Africa from charging ahead with fossil fuel development. “This government has no desire to tell you what you should do with your energy system,” he said. “It’s a paternalistic post-colonial attitude that I just can’t stand.” Wright said Western countries such as the United States have for years been “shamelessly” telling Africa that coal is bad and not to develop it. “That’s just nonsense, 100 percent nonsense,” he said. “Coal transformed our world and made it better, extended life expectancy and grew opportunities, and coal globally will be the largest source of electricity for decades to come. That’s not a policy, that’s not a desire, that’s just a reality.” I approved this message.

China has made enormous progress in mine safety over the past two decades. That is exactly why this disaster hurts so much. The gas explosion occurred at the Liushenyu ​coal mine in Qinyuan county, Shanxi province on Friday. 247 workers were underground. At least 90 dead. These are not numbers. They are fathers, sons, husbands, workers who went down into the earth to keep the country running. Coal built much of China’s industrial rise. But every ton of energy carries human weight. No infrastructure, no growth, no national project is worth forgetting the people at the bottom of the system — the ones who enter the dark so the rest of the country can have light. I hope every trapped worker is found. I hope every responsible person is held accountable. And I hope China never treats this as just another accident. A great nation is not measured only by how much power it generates, but by how fiercely it protects the hands that produce it.

#WATCH | Surat, Gujarat: On India advancing civil nuclear programme, Senior Scientist, Dept. of Atomic Energy, Dr Neelam Goyal says, "... India’s economy rests on three pillars: agriculture, industry, and services. The backbone of all three is electricity. At present, around 70% of India’s electricity comes from coal, with much of the quality coal imported from Indonesia. This costs the country roughly Rs 12,000 crore annually. To achieve self-reliance, India must develop domestic energy sources. India possesses vast reserves of thorium—around 85% of the world’s supply—enough to generate 5,000 units of electricity per person per year for 500 years, compared to the current 1,000 units. Yet nuclear energy faces public resistance due to misconceptions and fear. As a result, nuclear projects are often delayed for a decade or more. I completed my PhD in 2008 at Rajasthan University, studying the impact of nuclear power plants on regional economies, welfare, and health. In 2009, I undertook postdoctoral training with India’s Department of Atomic Energy in Mumbai... Since 2011, after the Fukushima disaster, I have worked to raise awareness and reduce opposition to nuclear energy across states, including Haryana, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, and Gujarat. Currently, India operates 23 reactors using uranium, imported from countries such as Australia and Mongolia. Uranium is a fissile element, and its by-product, plutonium, can also be used as fuel. India’s fast breeder reactor programme now utilises plutonium, and when combined with thorium, it can be converted into uranium-233, a powerful fissile material. This opens the door to smaller reactors and long-term energy independence, potentially supplying India with abundant electricity for years."

SHAME ON YOU SHAMILA EXCUSES BATHOI Matshela Koko, a former Eskom executive, was identified as a KEY ENABLER of the Gupta family's efforts to capture and corrupt Eskom The story of his alleged corruption involves several schemes that benefited Gupta linked companies at Eskom's expense. MATSHELA KOKO’s alleged corrupt activities as per the Zondo Commission : Optimum Coal Mine and Tegeta: The Guptas' company, Tegeta Exploration and Resources, relied on Koko and other executives to help them acquire the Optimum Coal Mine. This included a highly suspicious prepayment of R659 million from Eskom to Tegeta and a R1.6 billion guarantee, which helped finance the Guptas' purchase. The Zondo Commission found that this was not a legitimate transaction but a corrupt scheme.MATSHELA KOKO PLAYED A KEY ROLL IN GIVING THE GUPTAS S PREPAYMENT TO BUY THE MINE AND GAVE A Guarantee FROM ESKOM TO THE VALUE OF R1.6 BILLION. This is absolutely bonkers. Irregular Coal Supply Contracts: Koko was allegedly involved in awarding Tegeta a coal supply contract worth over R4 billion, despite irregularities and the poor quality of the coal. Evidence presented at the Zondo Commission showed that Koko allegedly interfered to ensure Tegeta's coal passed quality tests at an internal, unaccredited Eskom facility. Now you see how load shedding was actually created, as per Zondo MATSHELA KOKO allowed poor quality coal which broke the machinery. Trillian and McKinsey Contracts: Koko, along with other executives, was found to be central to a scheme to irregularly benefit the Gupta-linked company Trillian Capital Partners. Eskom paid R595 million to Trillian through contracts with the consulting firm McKinsey, even though Eskom had no direct contract with Trillian. BASICALLY AS PER THE ZONDO COMMISSION MATSHELE KOKO WAS A KEY ENABLER OF THE GUPTA AND DUDUZANE Zuma corruption It was full on state capture, unbelievable that Shamila Excuses Bathoi is still dragging her feet. The best part when Devi caught him outlying. That clip will forever be historic , as the Gupta puppet caught. In a lie.

Steel builds the modern world — and Alberta digs the coal to create it! Steel builds the modern world: bridges, hospitals, railways, even wind turbines. But steel doesn’t just appear out of thin air. It starts with metallurgical coal, and Alberta happens to have some of the best deposits of it anywhere on Earth. So, when activists say Alberta shouldn’t develop it… I have to say something pretty simple. Alberta digs coal, and we’re proud of it If you grew up anywhere near the oil patch in this province, there's a song you know. It’s four in the morning outside some extended-stay hotel in Grande Prairie or Bonnyville. There’s frost on the windshield of a diesel pickup warming up before shift. And blasting out of the speakers? “The Roughest Neck Around.” That song is practically the anthem of the oil patch. A tribute to the people who built modern Alberta with their hands and their backs. People like my dad, and just about every single man in my family. People who sacrifice being at home to work in forbidding conditions to earn a living, to give us something we all need to live comfortably. The line that always stuck with me is the one where he says the rig hand “brings the power to the people.” And that’s exactly what Alberta’s resource workers do. Oil, gas, coal. All of it powers the modern world. So, imagine my surprise when the man who wrote that song — Corb Lund — launched a campaign opposing coal development in Alberta. Look, I want to be clear about something. I’ve seen Corb Lund in concert many times. I’m a huge fan. And honestly, if all of my musical tastes had to perfectly align with my political views, my playlist would get pretty small, pretty fast. Most of us don’t listen to music that way. We listen because the songs feel true. Because they tell the story of where we come from, and Corb Lund has always done that for Alberta. Which is why this whole thing actually makes me a little sad. Because the man who wrote the anthem of the oil patch — a song celebrating the grit and sacrifice of the people who power this province — is now repeating some of the same environmentalist talking points that were are used to try to shut down the oil patch itself and the jobs that go along with it. The roughnecks. The welders. The truck drivers, and now the miners. The folks waking up at four in the morning to keep the lights on. I just can’t square that, and I won't abide the lies. Because the truth about coal in Alberta is very different from what people are hearing right now. First, not all coal is the same. The coal being discussed in Alberta’s eastern slopes isn’t coal for power plants — it’s metallurgical coal, essential for producing steel. And steel, at any meaningful industrial scale, cannot be produced without metallurgical coal. Countries around the world understand this. The United States, the European Union, South Africa, and New Zealand have all recognized metallurgical coal as a strategic resource tied directly to infrastructure and national security. Because if you don’t control the materials needed to make steel, you don’t control your industrial future, and Alberta happens to have some of the best undeveloped metallurgical coal deposits in the world. That’s an opportunity. But the conversation around coal mining in Alberta has been flooded with misinformation about a lack of oversight and polluted water. A lot of what people picture when they hear “coal mining” comes from images of mines that operate under completely different environmental rules. But modern mining in Alberta operates under strict regulatory oversight. Projects are monitored by the Alberta Energy Regulator, which enforces environmental standards covering water, land, air quality, and reclamation. Companies are required to post financial security to guarantee that mines are reclaimed when operations end. Cleanup isn’t optional — it’s mandatory. And there’s another key detail that often gets lost in the debate: not all mining is the same. Some new proposed coal projects in Alberta are underground mines, not large open-pit surface operations. That means a much smaller surface footprint and dramatically less disturbance compared to the old mining methods people still picture. Technology evolves. Regulations evolve, and responsible resource development evolves, too. But beyond all the technical arguments, there’s something even more important that gets forgotten in this debate: the people. Coal miners, heavy equipment operators, tradespeople, truck drivers. These aren’t villains. They're the heroes. These are the same kinds of workers who built modern Alberta. They’re the people who built the schools, the roads, the hospitals, the communities we all live in today. The jobs created by responsible coal development are good, high-paying jobs. Jobs that support families in communities like Grande Cache, Hinton, and the Crowsnest Pass. Jobs that keep small towns alive. The product those workers produce isn’t something obsolete. Metallurgical coal is a resource the world still needs, because the world still needs steel. Let’s be clear about what this campaign is actually about. This isn’t about attacking musicians. I like Corb. And it isn’t about pretending there are no environmental standards in Alberta. We have some of the best in the world. This is about standing up for Alberta workers and Alberta resources. They're also the best in the world, and Albertans should not be ashamed of that. Because the people who love songs like “The Roughest Neck Around” understand something that sometimes gets forgotten in these debates. The men and women working in Alberta’s resource industries don’t just produce energy. They produce the materials that build civilization. The choice here isn’t between the environment and the economy. The real choice is between facts and fear. And around here, we choose facts. If the world still needs the resources we produce — and it does — then Alberta should be proud to provide them, because Alberta digs coal. REPORT by Sheila Gunn Reid:
