    Inside California's Wildfire Fund: Who Really Pays the Price? – ENB Weekly Recap

    In this episode of the Energy Newsbeat Daily Standup - Weekly Recap, Stuart Turley and Michael Tanner discussed Governor Gavin Newsom's controversial new bill allowing California utility companies—such as Southern California Edison—to tap into the state's $21 billion Wildfire Fund, half of which is funded by taxpayers. The legislation permits utilities to use the fund to cover wildfire-related expenses and even fines from their own negligence. Turley blasted the move as a “corruption-laden bailout,” arguing it protects utilities at the expense of taxpayers, while comparing it to California's manipulation of federal health funds. Both hosts warned that under Newsom's leadership, California has become a growing national security risk. Subscribe to Our Substack For Daily Insights Want to Add Oil & Gas To Your Portfolio?

    Return to Tangibles: Why Silver, Gold, and Real Assets Are Beating Wall Street

    In this episode of Energy Newsbeat – Conversations in Energy, Stu Turley sits down with Wasif Latif, President of Sarmaya Partners, to explore the “Return to Tangibles” investment thesis. Latif explains why commodities like gold, silver, copper, and platinum are outperforming tech stocks and bonds in today's market. He breaks down the geopolitical catalysts, surging industrial demand, and the performance of the LENS ETF—designed to capture this tangible asset boom. From silver's breakout and platinum's comeback to supply chain rewiring and defense-driven resource demand, this episode is a masterclass on navigating a deglobalizing, resource-constrained world.7% retracement is another instance of the market digesting gains rather than signaling exhaustion. We see this spike in volatility as a healthy reset, not a sign of weakness. It's how long-term strength shows up and builds momentum.· Deficits, not just interest rates, are driving liquidity creation. With Social Security, Medicare, and Net Interest absorbing more than half of all U.S. federal outlays, fiscal consolidation seems a politically impossible. This structural imbalance anchors gold's long-term bid as policymakers rely increasingly on monetary and fiscal accommodation to finance spending.· Central banks have become systematic gold buyers, treating it as a Tier 1 reserve asset amid rising geopolitical fragmentation and declining trust in fiat discipline. Their price-insensitive accumulation sets a structural floor beneath the market. For investors, the behavioral edge lies in patience, the capacity to stay invested through cyclical volatility in a secular uptrend.See how energy plays into the return to tangibles.
