    In this episode of the Energy Newsbeat Daily Standup - Weekly Recap, Stu Turley and Michael Tanner break down a pivotal week in energy and markets. The U.S. power grid is strained by AI, EVs, and aging infrastructure—creating big opportunities in battery storage, microgrids, and SMRs. A $14 trillion stock rally now hinges on a likely 25bps Fed rate cut, which could ease borrowing for energy investments. The IEA is walking back its peak oil claims under pressure, acknowledging oil and gas demand will grow for decades. Natural gas is set to dominate U.S., China, and India's energy mix by 2050, while LNG exports are poised to double. But rising global decline rates mean trillions in capex are needed just to stay even—highlighting massive investment potential in U.S. energy infrastructure.Subscribe to Our Substack For Daily InsightsWant to Add Oil & Gas To Your Portfolio?
