When geopolitical chaos erupts—Iranian tankers in the dark fleet, Houthi attacks in the Red Sea, Russian refineries under fire—oil prices should skyrocket. Yet here we are in August 2024 with WTI crude at just $83 a barrel, and the market hasn't collapsed. Why? Because the U.S. is producing nearly 14 million barrels a day, pipelines are bypassing chokepoints, and refineries are running flat out. But there's a catch. In this episode of the Energy Impact Podcast, Trisha Curtis—CEO of PetroNode, Ch...

Secretary Chris Wright is the Best Energy Secretary in the United States history, in my opinion, and today is a great example of that. His Department of Energy approval for the Aalo Atomics reactor start is huge for the United States. And on the other side of the Pond in the UK, you have the complete opposite, and you can see Ed Miliband banning North Sea oil production, but buying North Sea oil and gas from Norway. This is shades of Jennifer Granholm! We cover 10 Big stories today on the Energ...

It is a wild day on the Energy News Beat Stand Up. Make no mistake, time will tell if the Strait of Hormuz is open, but do not underestimate the importance that the Bank of London and Lloyds of London play in opening the Strait of Hormuz. They want the war to continue, and are not happy if the war ends. As we hit Operational Bottoms for oil storage in the US it is a real problem, and President Trump ran out of time. I think that he has a plan and will get it done, but it will be done after the...
