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. Whether you're an energy pro or just curious about the future of power, this conversation delivers insight, urgency, and a dose of realism.Robert Bryce, thank you for stopping by the Energy News Beat and the Energy Impacts podcast with David Blackmon.

In this episode of Energy Newsbeat – Conversations in Energy, Stuart Turley discusses key topics with Steve Reese, CEO of Reese Energy Consulting, and Karr Ingham from the Texas Alliance of Energy Producers. They explore the role of Texas in the energy sector, focusing on natural gas and oil production, the state's influence on energy markets, and the challenges posed by legislation and regulation. The conversation highlights the economic significance of oil and gas in Texas, the state's approach to balancing renewable energy, and the global demand for U.S. LNG. The trio also discusses the ongoing legislative session and the future of energy in the U.S., emphasizing the importance of free-market solutions.This was a huge conversation about the Texas oil and gas markets and it's impact on the global energy market. Texas is impacting the world.Natural gas is not a bridge fuel; it is part of the change in molecule demand. Electricity demand is growing, and how it is generated matters. The EIA has stated that the US has continually lowered its emissions, and the largest reduction was closing coal plants and increasing to natural gas.We are seeing this same global trend in shipping and long-haul trucking. Let's save the environment, while being fiscally responsible is a vast topic.Please reach out to Steve Reese on his LinkedIn here:https://www.linkedin.com/in/steve-reese-185a86/Reese Energy Consulting Website: https://reeseenergyconsulting.com/Please reach out to Karr Ingham on his LinkedIn here:https://www.linkedin.com/in/karr-ingham-9b62333a/Check out the Texas Alliance of Energy Producers site here: https://www.texasalliance.org/Follow the Texas Alliance of Energy Producers on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/company/texas-alliance-of-energy-producers/posts/?feedView=allThank you, Steve, for your energy, leadership, and sponsoring the Energy News Beat Daily show. - StuKarr, it was an absolute thrill to spend some time with you, and I am really looking forward to our next visit about all of the great things you are doing for Texas and the energy producers. - StuHighlights of the Podcast 00:00 - Intro00:34 - Steve Reese Introduction01:04 - Karr Ingham Introduction02:52 - Texas Legislative Session Impact05:00 - Texas Oil & Gas Economic Impact07:50 - Texas Energy Mix: Gas, Coal, Wind, Solar08:39 - LNG Exports & Economic Impact09:43 - Renewable Energy Failures in Spain/Portugal10:36 - Natural Gas as a Solution16:06 - Need for Natural Gas20:33 - Texas Election Trends27:11 - Texas LNG & Oil Exports32:06 - Permian Basin's Energy Role39:27 - UK's Windfall Tax on Energy Companies42:31 - Future of Texas Energy47:48 - Contact Information of Karr Ingham48:20 - Reese Energy Consulting Website
