Is Nuclear Making a Renaissance?
Robert Bryce and Doug Sandridge join David Blackmon and Stu Turley to unpack what Trump’s bold executive orders mean for nuclear energy in America. From the push to quadruple nuclear capacity by 2050 to lessons from Germany’s energy policy reversal, the panel offers sharp analysis on the real potential and challenges of a nuclear resurgence.They also explore how U.S. global competitiveness, supply chain issues, and workforce gaps could define the next decade of nuclear development. Whether you're an energy pro or just curious about the future of power, this conversation delivers insight, urgency, and a dose of realism.Some of the key issues were around the fact that we have to lower regulations, and we have questions about the nuclear reactors on federal land. Will that help speed things up or slow them down? Can we export our nuclear reactors by possibly utilizing the military? Like the US Merchant Marines? Use them and sell the reactors as a service with Military protection, or even, like the Russians have proven, the Nuclear Reactors on ships and pull them up to a grid connection, like an LNG to Power plant configuration in Vietnam.They also explore how U.S. global competitiveness, supply chain issues, and workforce gaps could define the next decade of nuclear development.

Solar is MORE expensive than Gas (w/ receipts)
In this episode of the Energy News Beat Daily Standup, the hosts, Stuart Turley and Michael Tanner expose the true costs of solar energy, citing data from Doug Sheridan that reveals solar is significantly more expensive than natural gas across Europe—except in Spain and Portugal. They highlight the added costs of transmission and infrastructure and question whether energy policy is driven by politics rather than economics. Other stories include the struggling solar market amid economic headwinds, water management issues threatening the Permian Basin’s oil output, green corridor projects raising greenwashing concerns, and Texas legislation targeting inactive oil wells with stricter deadlines.Highlights of the Podcast 00:00 - Intro01:19 - Spain – the aftermath by Doug Sheridan – Wind and Solar are infact more expensive05:03 - Has the solar market seen better days?

Oil Back to $100?!
In this episode of the Energy News Beat Daily Standup, the hosts, Stuart Turley and Michael Tanner dive into Trump’s escalating energy dilemma as potential secondary sanctions on Russia could spike oil prices to $100 — a political win for Democrats but a headache for Trump. They also unpack Technip Energies’ Cyprus LNG deal, the decline of Northvolt’s battery production in Sweden, and OPEC’s strategic output boost that could squeeze U.S. shale. With oil rig and frack counts plummeting, LNG emerging as the long-term bet, and global capital flows shifting, the hosts explore where energy investments should pivot next in this volatile landscape.Highlights of the Podcast 00:00 - Intro01:34 - DAVID BLACKMON: Trump’s ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ Smashes Biden’s Signature Climate Law Into Pieces05:29 - President Trump’s dilemma is now a huge political problem – Secondary sanctions to get Putin to stop the war will drive prices to $90 or $100 and is a win for Democrats.10:15 - Technip Energies bags Cyprus LNG gig – and how does this impact Cyprus’s clean energy?12:48 - Northvolt to Wind Down Battery Making in Sweden: A Blow to Europe’s Energy Transition16:01 - Markets Update18:04 - Rig Count Update18:10 - Frac Count Update18:49 - OPEC’s Latest Report: A Strategic Move to Challenge U.S. Shale Oil Companies?22:14 - OutroPlease see the links below or articles that we discuss in the podcast.DAVID BLACKMON: Trump’s ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ Smashes Biden’s Signature Climate Law Into PiecesPresident Trump’s dilemma is now a huge political problem – Secondary sanctions to get Putin to stop the war will drive prices to $90 or $100 and is a win for Democrats.Technip Energies bags Cyprus LNG gig – and how does this impact Cyprus’s clean energy?Northvolt to Wind Down Battery Making in Sweden: A Blow to Europe’s Energy TransitionOPEC’s Latest Report: A Strategic Move to Challenge U.S. Shale Oil Companies?Follow Stuart On LinkedIn and TwitterFollow Michael On LinkedIn and TwitterENB Top NewsEnergy DashboardENB PodcastENB SubstackENB Trading DeskOil & Gas Investing– Get in Contact With The Show –
