Nuclear energy is getting a major upgrade by going deep underground. Deep bore reactors could be the future, promising safer, cheaper, and more efficient nuclear power with built-in natural containment. But that’s just one piece of the energy puzzle. We’re also unpacking how micro-reactors could power off-grid data centers, why U.S. shale keeps growing despite fewer rigs, and what energy giants like Chevron and ExxonMobil are doing to stay ahead. Plus, we break down OPEC’s latest moves, global demand shifts, and the big-picture trends shaping the future of industrial power. If you're into energy innovation, this one’s got plenty to chew on.
