- whimsicalism 3y agoI was recently using HN on vacation in Asia and noticed how many more articles about energy there were. This is a real effect I think.
- alephnerd 3y agoNorth America has been pretty insulated from a lot of the global energy instability occuring in the aftermath of the Russian Invasion of Ukraine along with the coups in the Sahel. Canada, US, and Mexico have enough resources and capital to be largely self sufficient, or fill any holes with imports from other American nations like Brazil or Venezuela. Most of the Middle East's energy exports are sold to India, China, Japan, and South Korea and most of Europe's are sourced from a mix of North Africa, Eastern+Southern Europe, and the Middle East. This means Eurasia is heavily impacted by instability in Eastern Europe and the Middle East.
