Gavin has taken California from almost energy independent to total dependence on imports. We have Mike Ariza, a downstream expert, who has been on the podcast several times. A great resource for boots-on-the-...

Dr. Beatriz Canamary stopped by the Energy News Beat podcast, and we had a great discussion about energy, exports, and our maritime industry, including shipbuilding and the Jones Act. I am going to just be brutally honest for a moment, and say that I have been for totally repealing the Jones Act for years. After my discussion with Dr. Canamery, my opinion has shifted toward more of a "let's get the problem solved and leave the Jones Act in place long-term" stance. But we need a plan to get to ...

Jon Brewton, CEO, Data2, stops by, and we talk about accountability. The negative issues we are facing about Data Centers and AI are hitting the front pages, and we need accountability for AI.

What a wild day on the News Desk. President Trump ordered the U.S. Navy to escort ships through the Strait of Hormuz, and Iran started lobbing drones and missiles around. Bagdad Bob showed up in Iran and claimed that they hit a US ship, but they did not.

The drone strikes were on the pipeline that bypasses the Strait of Hormuz, and it was not damaged too badly. ...
