The old way of doing business would not have changed the global markets. What a day on the news Desk! In this edition of the Energy News Beat Stand Up, we cover several key stories. 1. How President Trump changed the global oil market and his actions regarding Venezuela’s oil exports. The transcript discusses how the Trump administration captured Venezuela’s President Maduro and used new financial mechanisms to bypass the old system and fund Venezuela’s oil exports. Add to the mix that OPEC i...

There are wild changes in the oil and gas markets right now. Michael Tanner and Stu Turley cover the Iranian Revolution, key points about Venezuela, and the shift in markets following the US decision to allow the sale of Venezuelan oil on the open market. This has a second-order effect on the U.S. Dollar: the control of the oil markets and the question of whether China will buy oil from the US at market prices rather than the old Dark Fleet-reduced prices. Don't forget that Energy Security star...

As we roll into the midterms, the Democrats are already rolling out "Affordability" as a key battle cry. Well, the facts show that the average blue state pays an estimated 37% more for electricity than the average red state. This podcast went out on the Energy Impacts Podcast with David Blackmon and the Energy News Beat Podcast with Stu Turley. Tom Pyle, the CEO of the Institute for Energy Research, lays out the article linked below, and it is very clear. Energy Policies account for the greates...

There is a bright future for the United States and Venezuela, but it could be a bumpy ride. 1. President Trump's efforts to restore prosperity, safety, and security in Venezuela. This includes the US government working with interim Venezuelan authorities and private industry to market Venezuelan crude oil in the global marketplace, with the proceeds going to US-controlled accounts. 2. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright's plans and vision for the US energy market, including promoting domestic rar...

Will he be cutting a deal with Pam Bondi in New York? The main topics discussed in today's Energy News Beat are 1. The capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and its potential impact on the oil and gas markets.

With new electricity demands from AI, Data Centers, and the reindustrial movement from the Trump Adminstration, backed by huge investments from other countries, the United States is where companies and governments are looking to invest. The trend that Jerry brings up that is so c...

The good news that I told my wife is that we have enough money in the bank to make it to next year. Well, now that it is New Year's Eve, that joke can be funny for about 15 more minutes. Michael and I would love to give all of our listeners, watchers, patrons, and our 2025 Energy News Beat Stand-up sponsor, Steve Reese at Reese Energy Consulting. Without your support, we would not have achieved the significant numbers we reached this year. I would also like to thank all the great guests who hav...

In this episode of Energy Newsbeat – Conversations in Energy, host Stu Turley sits down with Adam Ferrari, CEO of Phoenix Energy, to talk about “American oil” in action—from drilling record-setting four-mile laterals in the Bakken and delivering strong well economics even at $60 oil, to Phoenix’s transparent, yield-focused model that lets everyday investors track real production and returns. Adam shares how Phoenix grew from a small, scrappy mineral-buying team into a 40,000 BOPD operator with a...

In this episode of Energy Newsbeat – Conversations in Energy, host Stu Turley sits down with Dr. Gene Nelson of Californians for Green Nuclear Power and the “Green Nuke” Substack to unpack how anti-nuclear ideology and California’s Public Utilities Commission are ignoring basic physics and economics. Dr. Nelson explains why overreliance on solar, wind, and batteries makes grids brittle—citing the April 28 blackout in Spain and idle nuclear plants taxed to prop up renewables—while nuclear deliver...

Michael and I would like to take a moment and thank all of our great Subscribers and patrons this year. It has been a wildly successful growth year in listens, watches, and articles read, and we are truly blessed to see it. We are striving to improve and keep growing with some different things rolling out next year. While the cancellation is under review with the Department of War for national security risks, I think that if science is applied, it will be an easy ruling. So after reading about ...

Gavin Newsom's California is a travesty for energy policies, and we can see yet another hit to consumers. The Utility companies are now limited in the profits they can make to rebuild the grid. That will SQUASH investment and get more companies to leave California, and take the jobs with them out of the State. As companies shut down and cut jobs, they also cut tax revenue, and that is going to make the financial crisis brought on by Gavin even worse. His Energy Policies have now become a comple...

In this episode of Energy Newsbeat – Conversations in Energy, host Stu Turley sits down with Sarah E. Hunt, President of the Rainey Center, to break down groundbreaking new polling that reveals overwhelming bipartisan support for American energy dominance, secure domestic data centers, and rapid permitting reform.

The Global Energy Markets are changing, and Giacomo Prendelli (Jack) stops by the Energy News Beat podcast. There are just some great days in the world, and today was no exception. I had the honor of visiting with Giacomo Prandelli of the Merchant’s News Substack. It was a great time. After doing over 1,000 episodes, I can tell if the conversation feels like 5 minutes, it was a good Conversation in Energy. I started reading The Merchant’s News Substack and was impressed with Giacomo’s (Jack) a...

What a week in the oil and gas markets. We have Dark Fleet Tankers over the weekend rolling up on Venezuela to be filled up, and Michael Tanner and Stu Turley talked about it on the Sunday release of the Energy News Beat Stand Up. Stu points out that President Trump needs to pay attention, as if he does not enforce the sanctions, we might as well ignore OPEC and the pricing models. Sure enough, on Tuesday, President Trump rolls out the blockade, and DRW on The Hot Take of the Day has a great ar...

It's been a wild time in the markets; there are many questions in the oil and gas markets. Will the Trump Administration stop the dark fleet tankers from filling up 4 million barrels this weekend, as they did with the one they confiscated last week? 1. The Trump administration’s actions against Venezuela, including the capture of a “dark fleet” oil tanker. We discuss whether this is more about oil or a show of force against the Venezuelan government. Stu chimes in that Panama is not renewing th...

Today on the Energy News Beat, Stand up Stu Turley and David Blackmon talk about the critical issues around Data Centers, Venezuela, Chevron, and how investors would react. With an oil platform in the Caspian Sea hit by Ukrainian drones, another Russian Tanker hit, and the U.S. boards a tanker loaded with Venezuelan oil, you can't buy this kind of entertainment. Years ago, oil would have spiked to $20, and today it's going down. 1. The data center boom and its impact on power grids, especially...

Katy Grimes, Editor in Chief of the California Globe, and Mike Umbro stop by the ENB Podcast. This podcast rolled around because Katy Grimes, the Editor in Chief of the California Globe, wrote a brilliant story, “Has California’s Oil and Gas Industry Hit the Point of No Return?” and in that story, she is pointing out that the National Security Risk created by Gavin Newsom’s energy policies may have pushed the oil and gas business to the brink of collapse. On the podcast, we discussed that the ...

Michael Tanner and Stu Turley cover several significant developments in the energy industry. First, they discuss New York's new "Cap and Invest" program, which will ration and tax fossil fuels. We do not see this as being ineffective and costly for consumers. This will do nothing but drive more people out of New York and reduce taxable income as money leaves the state. There is a reason JP Morgan has moved its gold trading unit out of New York. Next, we examine the increasing isolation of Vene...
