On February 28, the United States and Israel launched a campaign against Iran targeting military infrastructure and the regime's core leadership. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and several senior officials died in the attacks, which triggered a leadership crisis and inflamed tensions throughout the Middle East. In the immediate aftermath, Iran launched extensive barrages of drones and ballistic missiles aimed at Israel, US military bases, and other targets in neighboring Gulf states. Energy prices rose sharply. This regional shift carries immediate and enduring consequences for global geopolitics and the stability of international energy flows. The outcome of the conflict—and the ultimate fate of the Iranian regime—remains deeply uncertain. Even with these open questions, the trajectory of this escalation will likely redefine the future of Middle Eastern security, global power dynamics, and the world's energy markets. How is the conflict evolving, and how might it end? What are the impacts on Gulf states and what are some of the possible paths forward? And how is this all impacting oil and gas markets across the globe? Today on the show, Jason Bordoff speaks with four experts from the Center on Global Energy Policy—Anne-Sophie Corbeau, Richard Nephew, Daniel Sternoff, and Karen Young—to discuss the escalating conflict and its impact on energy and geopolitics. Anne-Sophie is a global research scholar at CGEP, where she focuses on hydrogen and natural gas. She previously worked as a senior analyst at BP and the International Energy Agency. Richard is a senior research scholar at CGEP and formerly served as the US deputy special envoy for Iran under the Biden administration, where he played a key role in negotiations over the Iran nuclear deal. Daniel is a senior fellow at CGEP and heads its corporate partnership strategy. Karen is a senior research scholar at CGEP with expertise in the Middle East focusing on geopolitics, the political economy of Gulf states, and energy policy. The Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University SIPA is closely following the escalating conflict in Iran and its implications for US national security, Middle East geopolitics, and global energy markets.

We're LIVE from LECOM Park before the Pirates take on the Orioles, and it's all about Konnor Griffin's first home start of the spring. We talk what we want to see from Griffin today (at-bats, reps at short, “leave no doubt”), plus a look at Mitch Keller's second start and why his changeup focus matters as he ramps up. We also hit: Mason Montgomery's nasty stuff vs. the key: command and first-pitch strikes Lineup notes: Jake Mangum leading off, Brandon Lowe at 2B, Reynolds/O'Hearn, and Nick Gonzales rolling into WBC time Henry Davis' rough spring so far, but a VERY encouraging BP session (and a bold homer call) The vibe at camp: media day buzz and a teaser for our upcoming recap featuring an interview with Lauren Shehadi If you enjoyed the show, hit Like, subscribe, and listen wherever you get your podcasts.

Climate concern is not the problem. Most people have it. What's missing is everything that turns concern into action - and understanding that gap turns out to be a lot more complicated than it looks.This week, Christiana Figueres, Tom Rivett-Carnac and Paul Dickinson sit down with Lorraine Whitmarsh, Professor of Environmental Psychology and Director of the Centre for Climate Change and Social Transformations at the University of Bath. Together they dig into the psychology behind catastrophe apathy: why understanding an existential threat doesn't always lead to action, and what the research says actually moves people.Lorraine shares real-world evidence - including renewable energy tariffs that shifted 90% of customers onto green power simply by making it the default - and explains why trusted everyday messengers, from hairdressers to taxi drivers, employers to community figures, often have more influence than expert voices in reshaping what feels normal.The conversation also revisits an uncomfortable history: how the personal carbon footprint, popularised by BP in the early 2000s, reframed climate responsibility around individual choices rather than systemic change. A framing so powerful that even environmental organisations adopted it. Who benefited most from that shift is a question the movement is still grappling with.If systemic change requires public consent, and public consent requires political will, and political will requires behaviour change - how do you break the climate Catch-22?With thanks to the University of Bath.Learn More:

欢迎收听雪球出品的财经有深度,雪球,国内领先的集投资交流交易一体的综合财富管理平台,聪明的投资者都在这里。今天分享的内容叫油运进入“unknown”时刻,来自赛艇队长。近期,长锦商船在VLCC市场上大手笔收购二手船的同时高溢价租入巨量船只,综合运力已经成为第一大船东,这个逻辑之前没讲过,今天就来聊聊。长锦商船以7000多万美金的价格买入15岁以上的VLCC,同时又以日租金7万左右的价格租入大量二手老船,占全市场10%-13%运力,合规市场15%-20%的运力,正常逻辑肯定是为了实现价格垄断,从而在油运市场供需不平衡时大幅捞钱。想要赚钱,必定是要在“一定时间段内”实现垄断,我们就垄断的条件分批来看,想要实现垄断必须满足四个因素:分别是需求刚性、供给端绝对可控、竞争格局长期固化、拥有雄厚资本。高市场份额并不代表垄断,起码要满足上述四项基本因素才能实现“短期”价格垄断。一、需求刚性首先对于原油的需求是很刚性的,虽然碳中和碳达峰每天都在说,但是国际能源署基本每年都在上调需求预期。除了2020年特殊因素外,其他年份基本上需求都是增长的,2026年预测是1.05亿桶每天。中国在过去10年间贡献了全球40%的需求增量,而非OECD新兴经济体贡献了100%的增量。所以石油的需求是刚性的,那么自然运输需求也是相对刚性。VLCC核心货主是沙特阿美、BP、壳牌、埃克森美孚等全球石油巨头,以及托克、维多、嘉能可等大宗商品贸易商,他们对于运价的接受程度较高。因为一艘VLCC能装30万吨原油,大概200万桶,按照一桶70美金来算,一船的货值是1.4亿美金。我们按照TD3C航线(中东到中国)来算,单程约30天,就算10万美元一天,一共也就300万美金,占货值的2%左右,所以这些石油巨头对于运价的接受程度很高。接受程度高,不代表他们就希望长期运价高,这就需要结合下面其他的逻辑,否则22-24年运价就不会那么低了。二、供给端可控现在VLCC市场短期是没有新船可以快速下水的,目前全球大概是920艘,其中不合规的影子船队170艘上下,占比18%左右,合规船队750艘。20年以上船龄的老船占180艘,15年以上的占370艘,合计占比超过40%。在新船方面,全球已生效的VLCC订单在150艘左右,占比16%,集中在27-29年下水,基本满足20年以上的老船替代问题,我相信未来一定还有大量订单出来。但是这四年时间足够长锦商船吃得盆满钵满,这背后还是要感谢集运市场的疯狂,从20-22年的超级大周期,让大型集装箱船订单塞满了船坞,还有LNG船型的繁荣也是催化,要知道不是所有船台都能造VLCC的,只有几个大型船台才可以。所以在3-4年内,整体供给端是可控的,没办法凭空变新船出来,我相信长锦商船也是看到这点才敢下手一搏。三、竞争格局长期固化一艘VLCC的造价要1个多亿美金,资本投入很高,而投资回报长期又很低,甚至出现亏本运货的情况,所以长期也没有什么资本愿意入局,整体的竞争格局已经多年稳定了。在2020年之前主要增量在中国,因为10-20年的这十年间中国对于石油的需求增量是最大的,这个过程中孕育出了招商轮船和中远海能两家企业。再之后就没有什么特别大的行业变化了,也就是说这个行业已经安稳且艰辛的度过了10年,大家都没怎么赚到钱。另外一方面,沙特阿美、BP、埃克森美孚等石油巨头手里都有自己的船队,而且都是长期包运合同,基本自己的油大部分自己运,剩下一些走现货市场,而油运长期也不赚钱,远远不如卖油赚钱,所以这些巨头也不愿意干这个苦差事,大幅扩张运力的需求不大。综合就导致了这个行业的长期格局比较固化,这次长锦商船的杀入变成了搅混池塘的鲇鱼,一口气成为了控制运力第一大的船东,导致运价实现了几十年来最高的日均运价。四、拥有雄厚资本长锦商船是韩国第二大的综合性航运集团,在1989年于首尔成立,在航运界是一个新兵蛋子,所以比较有冲劲,不像很多百年航运企业非常重视风险。即便如此,它也没有实力短期鲸吞百艘VLCC,后面发现金主是MSC,部分VLCC的最终买方是MSC创始人Aponte家族旗下的关联实体。地中海航运就绝对有这个实力了,他是几大集运巨头中唯一没有上市的企业,也就不用披露财报也不用给股东大额分红,作为手握1000艘集装箱船的集运老大,在上一轮大周期中保守估计赚了800亿美金,扣除大量造船以及收购港口后,手里现金储备超过了200亿美金,完全有能力收购这些VLCC。所以这里要第二次感谢集运,没有上一轮大周期的支持,现在也不会出现MSC这样的绝对巨头。那么MSC这几年在集运领域做了什么事呢?大量收购二手集装箱船,大量订购新船,导致运力飙升,连续四年成为集运榜首,合计运力720万标准箱,比老二马士基+老三达飞的总和还多。手持订单交付后,控制运力直接逼近1000万标准箱,市场份额将来到25%。另外一方面,旗下控股70%的码头运营公司收购了和记港口全球的43个码头,跃升为全球最大的集装箱码头运营商。现在长锦商船这套打法就是MSC在集运上的翻版,处处都透着一股熟悉的感觉。集运最厉害的一点就是它敢停航保价。总结一下:综合来看,目前长锦商船在不知不觉中已经完成了对于VLCC行业的布局,成为油运市场最大的变量以及最性感的叙事逻辑,短期内供给端没有增量,而需求稳定,货主对于运价的接受程度非常高,是可以形成3-4年短期垄断的,给运价持续高位来带可能性。我们继续推演,长锦商船报出来后,无论是现在的油运玩家还是石油巨头都会想对策,进一步通过购买和租赁VLCC进行扩张的难度很大,而石油巨头的资本实力也非常雄厚,完全有能力自己造船以后完全自己运自己的,那么后面VLCC订单应该会井喷。这是集运和油运最大的区别,一个货主是没有能力造船的中小外贸企业,一个货主是手握巨量资金的石油巨头。但,这又如何呢?当运价维持15万一天的时候,长锦商船一年多的时间就能赚出一条老二手船的钱,3-4年或者更久的时间足够爆赚一笔了,剩下的事就交给市场了。最后如果觉得自己参与不了这个行业投资也可以不参与,市场的机会多的是,但是建议大家加点油运群之类的,多抢红包,这件事是稳赚不赔的,既能学知识又能增厚自己的钱包,起码在这种史无前例的事件下,不会空手而归。后记:当我看到长锦商船这个事件的时候,第一反应是质疑。1966年日本的出光号下水成为世界第一艘VLCC,至今已经有60年的历史了,这个过程中难道没有人干现在长锦商船的事吗?谁不想垄断赚大钱?之后我就去翻看了一下VLCC的发展史,发现确实没有。1973年石油危机后,几大国际石油巨头为了稳定供应链,下过很多VLCC的订单,当时船队总量在400艘左右,单一巨头控制40艘,大概也就是10%的运力,这是长锦商船出现之前的最高纪录。后面香港船王包玉刚出手大量买入VLCC,颠峰的时候控制了大约50艘船,而且他是先和石油巨头签订5-10年的长租合同再买的船,赚完这一笔后,包玉刚在1978年把船都卖了,精准逃顶,拿着钱开始布局地产、仓储等行业。再之后就是Frontline的传奇船王约翰・弗雷德里克森,在1990年末和2002年几个周期低点大量买入二手的VLCC,实现了穿越多轮牛熊周期,稳居油运的TOP 5。剩下的像长航油运、希腊的dryships、美国的osg、韩国的韩进都是反面教材,颠峰扩张,低谷倒闭。整体看下来,没有一个可以作为长锦商船的参考,形势完全不同。所以我说现在的油运市场,真正的进入到了“unknown”时刻。长锦商船最终会成为包玉刚、还是约翰・弗雷德里克森,亦或是MSC,一切无人知晓。你我皆是历史的见证人。

Nick Kirby breaks down the biggest storylines from Cincinnati Reds Spring Training in Goodyear as Terry Francona sets the tone with a clear message: “It's time.” Hear the latest from Francona, including his responsibility for managing Elly De La Cruz's workload in 2026, why Elly won't play 162 games this season, and how the young superstar is entering camp stronger and more confident. Elly is reportedly up to 217 pounds — nearly 15 pounds heavier than last year — and feeling ready for big expectations. Nick also dives into standout performances from camp, including Chase Burns dominating live BP with three strikeouts and a groundout. Burns discusses major improvements to his fastball and curveball and is set to throw a couple of innings in the Reds' Spring Training opener against the Cleveland Guardians. The competition for the final rotation spot heats up, while Nick Lodolo shares why he believes the Reds can have one of the best starting rotations in baseball. Plus, updates on Rhett Lowder and Brandon Williamson's innings management after missing significant time. Matt McLain's maturity and approach at the plate have impressed Francona, who views him as the ideal No. 2 hitter. Will Benson's spring is off to a much different start compared to last year. Tyler Callihan is fully cleared and focusing on second base and left field after last season's injury. Sal Stewart is making noise this spring, working primarily at first and second base while openly chasing NL Rookie of the Year honors. Stewart has been studying first base defense and could see time at multiple infield spots as roster construction takes shape. Nick also covers updates on Edwin Arroyo, who expects more power in 2026 with his shoulder surgery behind him, and Eugenio Suárez's strong early impression in camp, including praise for Arroyo's potential. The two could face off in the World Baseball Classic. Plus: Francona's thoughts on veteran NRI Nathaniel Lowe and roster construction Pierce Johnson on bringing playoff experience to the bullpen TJ Friedl on leading off under Francona Prospect updates, including praise for Rodriguez and Cam Collier What to expect from the Reds' Spring Training opener and how to watch RedsTV Nick also previews upcoming coverage, including daily recaps after every Spring Training game, live postgame shows, and a full breakdown of how fans can watch RedsTV all season long. If you want comprehensive Cincinnati Reds analysis, roster battles, prospect updates and everything happening in Goodyear, this is your go-to podcast.

Jack Prandelli of The Merchants News Substack stopped by, and we had a blast visiting about huge changes in the oil and gas markets. At the end of the podcast, we also discuss how we should restructure electricity prices for consumers. 1. China's efforts to reduce its reliance on the US dollar: - China is shorting US Treasuries and buying gold to try to reduce its dependence on the US dollar in global trade, especially for commodities like oil. - However, China still relies heavily on importing oil and gas, which is priced in US dollars through the petrodollar system.2. The growth of US LNG exports to Europe: - The US is rapidly expanding its LNG export capacity, which is helping Europe replace Russian gas. - A key company, OneOk, owns a large portion of the pipeline infrastructure market supporting US LNG exports.3. The performance and strategies of major oil and gas companies: - Integrated companies like Exxon and Chevron are performing better than more specialized companies like Occidental. - European oil majors like BP and Total are struggling more, with BP considering asset sales.4. OPEC's challenges in managing oil production and pricing: - OPEC has struggled to meet its own production targets, leading it to consider changes to its pricing mechanisms. - There are geopolitical tensions, like the US trying to influence OPEC members like Venezuela and Iran.5. The role of natural gas, renewables, and nuclear power in the energy transition: - The guests discuss the pros and cons of different energy sources, arguing for a balanced approach that ensures reliable and affordable energy. - There are concerns about the ability of renewables alone to provide reliable power without fossil fuel or nuclear backup.Stu and Jack cover a wide range of topics related to the global energy markets, geopolitics, and the energy transition, with a focus on oil, gas, and LNG. Based on the transcript analysis, here are the main topics discussed:**1. China's De-Dollarization Strategy**China is actively working to reduce its dependence on the US dollar by shorting US Treasuries and accumulating gold. However, this effort faces a fundamental constraint: China's massive need for imported oil and gas, which are priced in US dollars through the petrodollar system, keeps it tethered to dollar-denominated trade.**2. US LNG Export Expansion**The US is rapidly scaling up its liquefied natural gas (LNG) export capacity, playing a crucial role in helping Europe transition away from Russian gas supplies. One Oak, a significant player, controls a large portion of the pipeline infrastructure that supports these exports.**3. Oil and Gas Company Performance**The discussion compares how different energy companies are faring:- Integrated majors like Exxon and Chevron are outperforming more specialized companies like Occidental- European oil majors (BP, Total) are struggling more significantly, with some considering asset sales**4. OPEC Production and Pricing Challenges**OPEC faces difficulties meeting its own production targets and is considering adjustments to its pricing mechanisms. Geopolitical tensions also play a role, with the US attempting to influence OPEC members like Venezuela and Iran.**5. Energy Transition and Power Sources**We debate the role of natural gas, renewables, and nuclear power in the energy transition, emphasizing the need for a balanced approach that maintains reliable and affordable energy while questioning whether renewables alone can provide consistent power without fossil fuel or nuclear backup.Connect with Jack on his LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/prandelligiacomo/Check out the Merchant News Substack: https://themerchantsnews.substack.com/Thank you To Steve Reese and Reese Energy Consulting for sponsoring the podcast:https://reeseenergyconsulting.com/Check out the Energy News Beat Substack: https://theenergynewsbeat.substack.com/Check out The Energy News Beat Website: https://energynewsbeat.co/Questions on Investing in Oil: https://sandstoneassetmgmt.com/invest-in-oil-and-gas/
Rob and Jeremy took some time from Tuesday's BBMS to discuss the positive reports out of Orioles Spring Training for a multitude of players, but how much stock can we put in to live BP performances?
Back at home after a week in Chicago, Brendan is joined by "The Boys" for this beefy Monday show. This episode was recorded late on Sunday night after BP was issued a technical foul during a youth basketball game and needed time to "decompress" before using a microphone. Joseph immediately wants to learn why Brendan was T'd up and finds that his actions were completely justified after a complete rules breakdown. While the technical foul may be a big story for this podcast, the biggest story in sports this weekend belongs to LIV Golf following Anthony Kim's win in Adelaide. AK erased a five-shot Sunday deficit playing in a group with major champions Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau, defeating Rahm by three shots for his first win in 16 years. Brendan, Joseph, and PJ recap the final round, covering Kim's outstanding iron play, the return of the swagger that made him captivating to begin with, and the many inspiring quotes from after the tournament wrapped up. They also question some of the broadcast's hyperbolic statements about the magnitude of the moment. There is also plenty of discussion about brutal Sundays from Rahm and Bryson, adding yet another week without a win for both of them on the LIV Golf tour. Not to be completely outdone, the PGA Tour had an "A+ week" at Pebble Beach according to Brendan. Collin Morikawa came from behind to secure his first win since the 2023 Zozo, making a four on the 18th hole for the win. Joseph and Brendan break down performances from Morikawa, Akshay Bhatia, and even Scottie Scheffler, who found himself in the mix again after a slow start on Thursday. Joseph also calls out Sam Burns for his club choice on the final hole, something that only a Deputy would do. In news, Gary Player remains upset with Augusta National (and Brendan may have an idea of why), sponsor exemptions go to - who else? - Jordan Spieth and Tony Finau, and Brendan and PJ go in on the Providence Friars following a dirty Saturday game against the Johnnies.

Send a textA first-round pick, a hometown heart, and a league in flux. We sit down with Kevin Orie to unpack a career shaped by grit, timing, and the unforgiving glare of Wrigley Field. From kicking rocks out of infields in Pittsburgh to a private tryout at Wrigley where he sprinted the bases after BP on instinct, Kevin's story tracks the highs and hard lessons of a young player dropped into a franchise starving for a solution at third base.The rookie season hit like a wave: an 0–14 start, the pressure to transform into a power bat behind Sammy Sosa, and the quiet squeeze of the steroid era altering not just bodies but recovery and confidence. Kevin doesn't hedge. He breaks down how mindset, workload, and the drumbeat of expectations can change a player's identity in weeks. He remembers a shoulder separation that killed a September call-up, a quad tear after a two-mile treadmill test, and a late cut in L.A. when the Beltre controversy closed a door at the buzzer. Through it all, there were anchors: Jim Leyland lighting up the tunnel in St. Louis as the Marlins went back-to-back-to-back-to-back, and Don Baylor's simple inside-pitch drill that later unlocked a swing he didn't know he had.We trace the journeyman years—out clauses, selling himself to third base coaches mid-game, cleanup roles on loaded Triple-A rosters that didn't lead to a phone call—and the eventual return to Chicago on unfinished business. Kevin reveals the difference better development and clearer roles might have made, and how today's strength and swing tech would have sped up his learning curve. Off the field, he opens up about raising three daughters after losing his wife, pivoting into hotel investments and commercial real estate through a recession, and staying in the game with Pirates pre/post on The Fan to keep those clubhouse threads alive.Come for the dugout stories and stay for the clarity about pressure, identity, and resilience. If you've ever wondered how a career can tilt in three weeks—or how a single drill can change a season—this one hits home.

Send a textEver wonder how a Hall of Fame coach keeps his team sharp when the forecast says 30 degrees and snow? We sit down with Jeff Mielcarek, head coach at Toledo Central Catholic, to unpack the hard choices, smart practice design, and durable culture that thrive in northern Ohio. From heated locker rooms to twenty-minute outdoor segments, Jeff shows how to get more live reps outside while staying safe and intentional. His approach turns weather into a competitive filter: build the foundation first, then push pace and urgency until practice feels like the fifth inning of a tight game.We go inside his staple drills—the three-fungo outfield pregame and the chaos drill that fuses pitchers and infielders into a single, fast-moving unit. Jeff explains why defensive reps during BP must be full tilt, even if that invites criticism, because timid training produces timid play. Roster realities shape development too: shrinking enrollment means every strike-thrower gets on the mound and every athlete learns multiple positions. He shares how clear role meetings, frequent communication, and early buy-in help players—and their “agents” at home—embrace change without drama.Strategy meets instinct when the game is on the line. Jeff describes pulling a dominant starter at 100 pitches in the opener, taking a loss to protect May. That blend of gut and plan, informed by daily contact with players' health and mindset, guides his late-inning calls, including first-and-third decisions with a one-run lead. Beyond tactics, culture is the engine: daily messages 365 days a year, the handshake rule before anyone leaves, and teaching the national anthem with intention. He credits mentors, clinics, and board service for shaping a growth mindset that borrows, adapts, and evolves.If you coach in cold weather, lead a small roster, or crave practice plans that hold up under pressure, you'll find concrete ideas and honest stories you can use tomorrow. Subscribe, share this with a coaching friend, and leave a review with your best first-and-third defense—we'll feature our favorite breakdowns next week.Support the show Follow: Twitter | Instagram @Athlete1Podcast Website - https://www.athlete1.net Sponsor: The Netting Professionals https://www.nettingpros.com
