The Top 10 RBN Blogs of 2025 -- Based On "Hits" -- Summaries Generated By ChatGPT With Human Editing -- December 30, 2025
What it takes to get energy from Point A to Point B — from where it is produced to where it is consumed — was at the heart of many of RBN’s most popular blogs in 2025. Infrastructure bottlenecks, shifting logistics, evolving price signals, and the constant push-and-pull between supply and demand all shaped the markets, with each segment seemingly wanting to go its own way. But there was another layer too: the three T’s that hovered over everything this year: Trump, tariffs and turbulence. Together, they formed the backdrop for a market that kept everyone guessing about where things were headed. In today’s RBN blog, we discuss the Top 10 blogs of 2025.
Fortunately, in the RBN blogosphere, we have a great way to size up what’s coming next — the blogosphere itself. A huge advantage of publishing a daily blog on a single topic — and distributing it to tens of thousands — is that by tracking how many hits each post gets, we can spot emerging energy-market themes as they develop. And we share those insights with the RBN community. For more than a decade, we’ve wrapped up each year by reviewing which topics rose to the top of the hit parade in our year-end “Top 10” blog, distilling the common themes we learn from what amounts to crowd-sourced market intelligence. Today’s blog is the latest edition of that tradition.
