Podcasts about ExxonMobil

In this fascinating episode, Bryan welcomes back longtime friend and nuclear industry veteran Bill Nowicki to discuss a recently released document from DHS and NUSTL that provides new recommendations for HVAC operations during nuclear events. Bill brings over 40 years of nuclear experience, starting as a 19-year-old Navy nuclear operator (after being deemed "not ready for the grill" at Friendly's restaurant) and progressing through various roles, including lead engineer on critical control systems at nuclear facilities. Bill shares his journey from nuclear plant evaluator to leadership trainer, now working internationally to help nuclear professionals develop their skills. His current podcast, "The Nuclear Leader," continues this mission alongside his passion project, "Navigating Mental Illness: Parent Stories." Bill provides an accessible explanation of nuclear reactor operations, using the analogy that "contamination is the poop and radiation is the smell" to help listeners understand the difference between radioactive material and radiation itself. He walks through the three-barrier system in nuclear plants: fuel cladding, reactor coolant system, and containment structures. The discussion covers how fission works, the controlled chain reaction process, and what happens when these systems fail, using examples from Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, and Fukushima to illustrate different failure modes. The episode explores the current nuclear renaissance driven by AI data centers and industrial companies seeking clean baseload power. Bill explains how private industry is now directly funding nuclear projects, bypassing traditional utility structures, with companies like Microsoft and ExxonMobil investing billions in new nuclear facilities. This represents a dramatic shift from the post-Three Mile Island era when nuclear construction essentially stopped in the United States. The core discussion focuses on updated emergency guidance that reverses previous recommendations. Instead of the old "shelter in place and shut off your AC" advice, the new guidance suggests keeping HVAC systems running while eliminating outdoor air intake. This approach recognizes that modern, well-sealed buildings with high-efficiency filtration can provide better protection by maintaining positive pressure and filtering recirculated air rather than allowing uncontrolled infiltration. Bill and Bryan discuss how building characteristics dramatically affect the best response strategy. High-performance homes with tight construction, MERV 13+ filters, and controlled ventilation systems offer significant advantages, requiring only the ability to shut off outdoor air intake. Conversely, older, leaky buildings may still benefit from complete system shutdown to prevent contamination circulation. The conversation highlights how lessons learned during COVID-19 about airborne contamination and filtration directly apply to nuclear emergency preparedness, emphasizing the importance of case-by-case analysis rather than one-size-fits-all approaches. Topics Covered Nuclear industry career paths - From Navy nuclear training to civilian plant operations and leadership roles Basic nuclear physics - Fission process, chain reactions, and the difference between contamination and radiation Nuclear plant safety systems - Three-barrier containment approach and historical accident analysis Current nuclear renaissance - AI-driven power demand and private industry investment in new reactors Emergency preparedness evolution - How COVID-19 research influenced nuclear emergency HVAC guidance Building performance factors - Impact of construction quality, filtration, and ventilation design on safety HVAC system modifications - Importance of outdoor air shutoff capability and high-efficiency filtration Case-by-case response strategies - Why building characteristics determine optimal emergency procedures Podcasting journey - Early days of niche podcasting and building communities around specialized topics Leadership development - International nuclear industry training and professional development Personal stories - Navy submarine experiences and nuclear plant operational challenges   Here is the full document from the DHS: https://www.nrc.gov/docs/ML2425/ML24250A059.pdf Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

De Chinese beurs, de CSI300, staat op het hoogste punt in 3 jaar tijd. Dat is gerust bijzonder te noemen, want de aanleiding is er op het eerste gezicht niet. De Chinese economie draait nog steeds moeizaam en een handelsoorlog met de Amerikanen kan elk moment weer oplaaien.Deze aflevering kijken we waar dat enthousiasme van de afgelopen maanden vandaan komt. Kan Trump de boel nog in de war gooien? En waarom is het waarschijnlijk dat er nog miljarden naar die beurs stromen? Met natuurlijk de belangrijkste vraag: is dit het moment dat jij ook aan de Chinese aandelen moet?Over China gesproken. We hebben het ook over de aanval op Nvidia. Chinese chipmakers willen de strijd aangaan met de Amerikaanse AI-reus en vooral niet meer afhankelijk zijn. De productie van AI-chips moet volgend jaar verdrievoudigen. Sommige Chinese bedrijven groeien nu al hard: we hebben het over een bedrijf dat de omzet met 4000 procent ziet stijgen. Ja, daar zit niet per ongeluk een 0 teveel in.Verder hoor je meer over de dubbelrol van de ceo van Volkswagen. Gaat het over een klein Nederlands beursbedrijf dat een grote koersuitslag liet zien. Iets dat ook een Zuid-Koreaanse maker van pennen voor elkaar kreeg. Allemaal dankzij president Trump.En natuurlijk bereiden we je voor op de cijfers van Nvidia. Dat wordt een spektakel: kenners verwachten een koersschommeling goed voor 260(!) miljard dollar.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories. Trump's 50% Tariffs on India Starting August 27, Indian exports to the US will face a steep 50% tariff. President Trump doubled duties earlier this month, punishing India for buying Russian oil—a move New Delhi calls “unfair and unreasonable.” Pharma, electronics, and key metals are exempt, but most exports will be hit. PM Modi, striking a defiant note, urged Indians to go “swadeshi” while officials brace exporters for a slowdown. US Pushes ‘Gold Card' Visa Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick says the Trump administration is set to overhaul the H1-B and green card system. The proposed “Gold Card” would give residency to foreigners investing $5 million. Officials claim 250,000 people are already interested, potentially generating $1.25 trillion. H1-B visas, meanwhile, could shift from a lottery to a wage-based system, prioritising higher-paying jobs—tough news for Indian tech workers. Modi to Attend SCO in China PM Modi will travel to Tianjin next week for the SCO summit—his first China visit in seven years. Alongside Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin, leaders from across Asia will attend what Beijing hopes is a show of Global South unity. Analysts say Modi may use the moment to reset ties with China after the 2020 border clashes, while Xi will showcase a “post-American-led world.” US-Russia Explore Energy Deals Even as India is punished for trading with Russia, Washington may be cutting its own deals with Moscow. Reports suggest talks are on to let Exxon Mobil re-enter Russia's Sakhalin-1 project, allow sales of US equipment for LNG projects, and even buy nuclear icebreakers from Russia. The timing raises eyebrows: Trump penalises India for Russian oil but explores energy ties with Putin himself. HAL Orders 113 Jet Engines HAL is set to sign a $1 billion deal with GE Aerospace for 113 GE-404 engines to power nearly 200 LCA Mk-1A fighters. These jets will replace India's retiring MiG-21s. Delivery delays, however, have raised doubts within the Air Force. HAL is also negotiating joint production of GE-414 engines for the upcoming LCA Mk-2, a deal with 80% tech transfer—crucial to India's defence self-reliance push. Learn more about your ad choices.

Thuế quan và các đòn hù dọa phải chăng đang trở thành những công cụ chính trong chính sách đối ngoại của Hoa Kỳ và hiệu quả đến đâu ? Dấu ấn tám tháng đầu nhiệm kỳ hai của tổng thống Donald Trump là những thông báo về mức thuế hải quan, là những tuyên bố Washington đạt được thỏa thuận về khoáng sản quan trọng với một số quốc gia, là hình ảnh nhiều lãnh đạo trên thế giới hối hả cam kết mua thêm hàng và đầu tư thêm cả trăm tỷ đô la vào Mỹ. Căn cứ vào những thông báo chính thức của Nhà Trắng, nếu không có thay đổi giờ chót, kể từ ngày 27/08/2025 một số mặt hàng của Ấn Độ xuất khẩu sang Hoa Kỳ sẽ bị đánh thuế đến 50 %. Ấn Độ bị « phạt » vì vẫn mua vũ khí của Nga và phớt lờ lệnh trừng phạt quốc tế vẫn nhập khẩu dầu hỏa của Nga.   Gây áp lực với Ấn Độ, có là thượng sách ? Trung Quốc cũng mua dầu của Nga nhưng tổng thống Trump « không vội » trừng phạt Bắc Kinh. Vào lúc bị Hoa Kỳ o ép, New Delhi và Bắc Kinh sưởi ấm quan hệ : Cuối tháng này, thủ tướng Narendra Modi sẽ đến Thiên Tân, dự thượng đỉnh Tổ Chức Hợp Tác Thượng Hải. Mức thuế 50 % Mỹ đòi nhắm vào một số mặt hàng của Ấn Độ ít có khả năng « ly gián » New Delhi với Matxcơva : Ấn Độ là nguồn nhập khẩu dầu hỏa lớn thứ ba trên thế giới mà 37 % tiêu thụ nội địa tại quốc gia Nam Á này là dầu của Nga. Trên thị trường vũ khí Nga là đối tác quan trọng nhất của Ấn Độ, chiếm 36 % thị phần trong giai đoạn 2000-2024. Cùng lúc quan hệ giữa New Delhi và Washington đã xấu đi nhanh chóng từ tháng 4/2025 vì các biện pháp thuế quan thì Mỹ sưởi ấm quan hệ với Pakistan, một đối thủ truyền thống của New Delhi. Nhìn từ Úc, trung tâm nghiên cứu Lowy Institute không khỏi lo ngại là các đòn hù dọa và thuế quan của chính quyền Trump làm suy yếu liên minh Đối Thoại Tứ Giác An Ninh còn được gọi là Bộ Tứ QUAD gồm Mỹ, Nhật Bản, Úc và Ấn Độ : QUAD là một cột trụ của Hoa Kỳ để làm đối trọng với Trung Quốc trong chiến lược Châu Á-Thái Bình Dương. Hù dọa Trung Quốc : Phản tác dụng Với Trung Quốc, trong tám tháng qua tổng thống Trump gần như hàng ngày đều nhắc đến nền kinh tế số 2 toàn cầu, kể cả khi ông tiếp các lãnh đạo quốc tế như trong cuộc họp với tổng thống Hàn Quốc hôm 25/08/2025. Đàm phán thuế quan giữa Washington và Bắc Kinh đang tiếp diễn và Mỹ đã liên tục triển hạn cho Trung Quốc có thêm thời gian để điều đình về thương mại. Đáng chú ý hơn là với đối thủ này, các đòn hù dọa có phần phản tác dụng. Mỹ áp thuế Trung Quốc thì Bắc Kinh đáp trả bằng đất hiếm. Về công nghệ, Trung Quốc cũng không để bị lất lướt. Nhà Trắng gần đây đã đồng ý cho tập đoàn Nvidia cung cấp thiết bị điện tử « cao cấp », bọ H20 cho các đối tác tại Hoa Lục. Nội các Trump không che giấu là trên thương vụ này, 15 % doanh thu của Nvidia sẽ thuộc về nhà nước. Nhưng Bắc Kinh đã dội một gáo nước lạnh vào tham vọng đó khi cho mở điều tra, vì nghi ngờ « H20 không an toàn » đồng thời kêu gọi các tập đoàn Trung Quốc như như ByteDance, Alibaba, Tencent rất ưa chuộng loại bộ xử lý đồ họa này của Nvidia tránh dùng « hàng ngoại ». Hệ quả kèm theo là tập đoàn Mỹ, Nvidia, hôm 25/08/2025 tạm ngừng sản xuất H20 để dành cho các khách hàng Trung Quốc. Nhật-Hàn và Châu Âu những thắng lợi lớn của Mỹ Bên cạnh hai hồ sơ gai góc là Ấn Độ và Trung Quốc vừa nêu, trong cuộc chiến « thuế đối ứng », chính quyền Trump đã dễ dàng áp đảo các đối thủ : Anh Quốc là một trong số những bên hiếm hoi nhanh chóng được « ưu đãi », với mức thuể chỉ là 10 %. Ngay cả những « đồng minh chiến lược truyền thống » của Washington như Liên Hiệp Châu Âu, Nhật Bản hay Hàn Quốc đều phải chịu mức thuế đến 15 %. Philippines kém may mắn hơn vì hàng xuất khẩu sang Mỹ sẽ bị đánh thuế 19 %. Để đối lấy mức thuế đối ứng 15 % Nhật Bản, Hàn Quốc và nhất là Liên Âu đều áp dụng một công thức : cam kết mua thêm thật nhiều hàng của Mỹ để thu hẹp xuất siêu với Hoa Kỳ, hứa hẹn đầu tư hàng trăm tỷ đô la vào Mỹ trong tương lai. Chủ tịch Ủy Ban Châu Âu, Ursula Von der Leyen đang bị công kích gay gắt vì đã nhượng bộ Donald Trump quá nhiều khi hứa hẹn mua thêm hơn 700 tỷ đô la năng lượng của Mỹ trong 3 năm sắp tới, kèm theo đó là hàng loạt các dự án « rót » thêm đến gần 600 tỷ đô la đầu tư. Tổng thống Hàn Quốc Lee Jae Myung, lần đầu tiên đến Nhà Trắng đã mang theo cam kết đầu tư 150 tỷ đô la vào Mỹ với hy vọng ông Trump nhẹ tay khi đánh thuế hàng Made In Korea. Trước mắt Nhà Trắng duy trì mức thuế 15 % với Hàn Quốc. Đồng tiền đi trước là đồng tiền khôn  Tuần trước, họp với tổng thống Ukraina và nhiều lãnh đạo châu Âu, tổng thống Mỹ đã khoe ông giải quyết được 6 - thậm chí là 7, cuộc xung đột trên thế giới mà không cần có một lệnh ngừng bắn làm tiền đề. Gần đây nhất là giao tranh ở biên giới Cam Bốt-Thái Lan. Điều ông Trump không nói ra hôm đó, là các cuộc xung đột tổng thống Hoa Kỳ muốn nói đến vẫn còn âm ỉ. Đồng thời bản hòa ước giữa Armenia và Azerbaidjan bao gồm một điều khoản liên quan đến dự án thành lập một « hành lang vì hòa bình và thịnh vượng quốc tế mang tên Trump : The Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP) ». Để vãn hồi hòa bình cho hai nước châu Phi là Rwanda và Cộng Hòa Dân Chủ Congo (hiêp kịnh ký ngày 27/06/2025) thì cả hai quốc gia này cùng cam kết sẽ mở cửa cho các tập đoàn Mỹ vào khai thác tài nguyên. Tương tự như vậy để nhanh chóng vãn hồi hòa bình ở biên giới Cam Bốt-Thái Lan, tổng thống Trump đã mang thuế quan ra để dụ và dọa hai quốc gia Đông Nam Á này. Kết quả là thủ tướng Hun Manet ca ngợi công lao của ông Trump hết lời và vội vàng đề nghị trao Nobel Bình cho nguyên thủ Mỹ. Riêng với Ukraina, trở lại Nhà Trắng tổng thống Volodymyr Zelenski đưa ra cam kết mua 100 tỷ đô la vũ khí và thiết bị quân sự của Hoa Kỳ. Báo tài chính Anh, Financial Times nhận định : Hợp đồng 100 tỷ đô la để đổi lấy bảo hiểm an ninh của Mỹ.   Trong cuộc hội đàm qua cầu truyền hình hai ngày sau các cuộc họp tại Washington, phó giám đốc Đài Quan Sát Pháp-Nga, Igor Delanoe cho rằng, tổng thống Zelensky và các nước đồng minh yểm trợ ông đã hiểu rằng với tổng thống Donald Trump những, đồng tiền đi trước là đồng tiền khôn : Igor Delanoe : « Hai sự kiện ở Alaska cũng như tại Washington, thực ra là một cuộc đọ sức về mặt chiến lược giữa một bên là Ukraina cũng các đồng minh châu Âu và bên kia là nước Nga của ông Putin để tranh thủ lôi kéo Donald Trump về phía mình. Sau hai hiệp đấu đầu tiên đó, tạm thời Nga là bên thắng cuộc. Chúng ta thấy tổng thống Hoa Kỳ giữ nguyên lập trường là không cần một lệnh ngừng bắn, làm tiền đề cho các đàm phán vãn hồi hòa bình. Châu Âu nhắc lại đòi hỏi có lệnh ngừng bắn, nhưng Trump đã xua tan tất cả khi khẳng định là ông đã giải quyết 6 cuộc xung đột mà không cần có lệnh ngừng bắn. Một điểm quan trọng khác, thượng đỉnh Alaska và các cuộc họp ở Washington diễn ra trong hai bối cảnh hoàn toàn khác : tại Alaska, Nga và Mỹ là hai cường quốc, ngang hàng đối thoại với nhau. Trái lại ở Washington, Ukraina và châu Âu trong thế đi năn nỉ. Tổng thống Zelensky mang 100 tỷ đô la -tiền của châu Âu ra "làm đầu câu chuyện"  trước khi đàm phán với Trump. (…) Sau các cuộc họp ở Washington vừa qua, ngược thời gian, trở lại với thượng đỉnh của Liên Minh Bắc Đại Tây Dương ở Hà Lan, rồi cuộc họp giữa chủ tịch Ủy Ban Châu Âu,  Ursula von der Leyen với nguyên thủ Mỹ ở Scotland hồi tháng 7 và lần này tại thủ đô Washington thì mỗi lần, châu Âu đều phải chi ra rất nhiều tiền : tại Hà Lan các thành viên cam kết tăng chi tiêu quân sự, mà chủ yếu là để mua vũ khí của Hoa Kỳ. Tại Scotland, để chỉ bị đánh thuế hải quan 15 %, bà Ursula von der Leyen cam kết mua hàng trăm tỷ đô la năng lượng của Mỹ và đầu tư không biết bao nhiêu vào Mỹ trong những năm sắp tới. Giờ đây châu Âu lại đưa thêm 100 tỷ đô la cho Ukraina mua vũ khí, thiết bị quân sự của Hoa Kỳ. Mấy trăm tỷ đô la trong vài ba tháng. Châu Âu đặt lên mặt bàn một số tiền rất lớn. Trump thì chủ trương ép cho bằng được để có thêm đồng nào tối đồng nấy mỗi lần ông họp với các nước châu Âu ». Hù dọa, vô ích với Nga Theo quan điểm của Arnaud Dubien giám đốc Đài Quan Sát Pháp-Nga, với Matxcơva, tổng thống Mỹ tuy có hù dọa nhưng « chẳng ăn thua ». Arnaud Dubien : « Tại Alaska, Mỹ không ban hành thêm các lệnh trừng phạt mới nhắm vào kinh tế Nga. Ngoại trưởng Rubio đã xác nhận điểm này. Điều đó phản ánh tâm trạng của chính quyền Trump vào thời điểm hiện tại. Bên cạnh đó thì cũng đã không có những thông báo, không có tín hiệu nào về việc Nga -Mỹ nối lại hợp tác về kinh tế, cũng như trong một số lĩnh vực cụ thể như công nghệ hàng không, các hoạt động thăm dò ở Bắc Cực... Nối lại hợp tác song phương là một lằn ranh đỏ mà chính quyền Trump đã không vượt qua. Ít ra là cho đến hiện tại, Mỹ chủ trương chỉ mở rộng đối thoại với Nga trên những lĩnh vực khác nếu như đạt được một số tiến triển trên hồ sơ Ukraina. Về phía Matxcơva, Nga đã loan báo cho phép tập đoàn dầu khí ExxonMobil tham gia trở lại dự án Sakhalin 1 để cùng thăm dò và khai thác dầu ở ngoài khơi. Dù vậy các dự án hợp tác hiện vẫn bị đóng băng. Một điểm khác nữa là vấn đề giới hạn vũ khí hạt nhân, một chủ đề mà Donald Trump từng nhắc tới khi ông trên đường từ Washington đến Alaska, nhưng về mặt chính thức, không thấy đôi bên đả động đến hồ sơ nay (…) Alaska là một thượng đỉnh quan trọng theo truyền thống các cuộc họp thượng đỉnh giữa Hoa Kỳ với Liên Xô rồi với Nga. Vladimir Putin và Donald Trump phô trương một thái độ gần gũi. Tuy nhiên không có bất kỳ một thỏa thuận nào được đưa ra cuộc họp và cũng không thể chờ đợi có những kết quả từ một cuộc gặp ngắn ngủi đó. Theo quan điểm cá nhân, phía Nga đã đưa ra một lập trường cứng rắn hơn. Còn về phía Hoa Kỳ thì tổng thống Trump muốn nhanh chóng thúc đẩy hồ sơ Ukraina. Chính sự nóng ruột này dẫn đến việc rất có thể là Washington ngả theo quan điểm của Vladimir Putin, kể cả trong trường hợp là điều đó có bất lợi cho Ukraina đi chăng nữa ».

We were honored this week to welcome Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison and Jack Balagia for a Special Edition COBT. Senator Hutchison is a Founding Member of the KBH Energy Center at the University of Texas, with a distinguished career spanning both public and private sectors, from bank executive to U.S. Senator to most recently U.S. Ambassador to NATO. Jack served as Vice President and General Counsel of ExxonMobil for nearly two decades before joining the University of Texas School of Law faculty. He was appointed as Executive Director of the KBH Energy Center in 2024. We were thrilled to visit with Senator Hutchison and Jack about the KBH Energy Center's upcoming Symposium in September and also hear their unique perspectives ahead of Friday's significant meeting between President Trump and President Putin. This year's KBH Energy Center Symposium will focus on the future of energy innovation, investment, and security (agenda details linked here). Taking place Friday, September 12 in Austin, the program will cover global energy outlooks, the growing role of nuclear and AI, energy's ties to national security, data infrastructure demands, capital markets, and media coverage. In our conversation, we explore the geopolitical backdrop of the upcoming Trump-Putin meeting in Alaska, the hope for a Ukraine ceasefire, and the implications for future negotiations involving President Zelensky and the EU. We discuss shifts in President Trump's stance on Putin since the start of his second term, as well as the Symposium's keynote from ExxonMobil CEO Darren Woods, the event's audience profile and impact, and other notable speakers including Goldman Sachs Vice Chairman Rob Kaplan and investor Jim Breyer. We touch on the uniqueness of the Energy Studies Minor Program at the University of Texas (details linked here), the Center's collaboration with more than 30 energy-affiliated organizations on campus, NATO unity under Trump, changing European attitudes on defense burden-sharing with the U.S., and European relief at U.S. military action to deter Iran nuclear weapon capability. Senator Hutchison shares her perspective on how Putin may have overplayed his hand by not striking an early deal with Trump, the potential for stronger measures against Russia, prospects for negotiation, potential outcomes from the Alaska meeting, the symbolism of its location, and more. As you'll hear, the Symposium is nearing capacity but there is still room to attend. Registration details can be found linked here. We are excited about this year's gathering and greatly appreciate Senator Hutchison and Jack for joining us. To start the show, Mike Bradley noted that bond and equity markets were focused on the July PPI report, hoping it would match Tuesday's in-line CPI print and reinforce expectations for an interest rate cut at the September 17th FOMC Meeting. Markets were looking for a PPI print of 0.2%, but instead it came in at 0.9%, the highest monthly reading since July 2022, which pushed the ten-year bond yield up by 5bps (~4.28%). This PPI increase was the first sign since tariffs were implemented that companies were passing through tariff increases and this large PPI print temporarily reduced the odds for a September interest rate cut (especially a 50bp cut) and also looks to have created a short-term headwind for equity markets. On the crude oil market front, WTI price has been drifting lower for the past two weeks, mostly due to global oil supply surplus concerns, which were reinforced this week by bearish 2026 oil macro r

President Trump gaat achter de chip- en semiconductorsector aan. Er komt een tarief van 100 procent, tenzij bedrijven (een deel van) hun productie naar de VS verplaatsen. Een flink dreigement, maar het slaat behoorlijk dood. Aandelen van chipbedrijven van over de hele wereld dalen niet, maar stijgen juist.Deze aflevering kijken we waarom aandeelhouders van ASML, Besi, ASMI en al die andere chippers lak hebben aan Trumps dreigende woorden. Nemen ze hem minder serieus?Serieus zijn wél de heffingen die hij oplegt aan andere landen. Die gaan vandaag in. Een tarief van 19 procent voor Britse producten, tot 50 procent voor spullen uit India. Veel is niet uitgewerkt en er is onduidelijkheid voor ondernemers en overheden. We proberen deze aflevering te kijken hoe het voor jou als belegger uitpakt. Hebben we het ook over een opmerkelijke oproep van Trump (hij had het druk ja). Hij eist per direct het ontslag van de ceo van Intel. Volgens Trump heult de ceo samen met de Chinezen.Verder hebben we het over de crisissituatie in Zwitserland. De president vloog naar Washington, maar tevergeefs. Ze moeten alsnog een torenhoog tarief betalen. Dat is een probleem, want het kost maar liefst een procent van hun BBP.Dit kan je verder verwachten: Sony verhoogt de winstverwachting voor dit jaar. Analisten zijn ook al positief over volgend jaar Aandeel Eli Lilly beleeft een horrordag (ondanks dat ze omzet- en winstverwachting opkrikken) SBM Offshore verhoogt de verwachtingen ook, maar aandeel wordt ook gedumpt AirBNB denkt dat mensen minder op vakantie gaan See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Een gevarieerde beursdag, zo kan je hem wel het best omschrijven. Het ging over een vette bek, medicatie, software en over olie. Om te beginnen met oliemaatschappij BP. Dat kwam met goede kwartaalcijfers, die beleggers totaal niet zagen aankomen. Nu alle grote olie- en gasreuzen met cijfers zijn gekomen, maken we de balans op. Wat is het beste aandeel dat je kan hebben? Is dat nu toch BP of moet je gaan voor Shell, ExxonMobil, Chevron, TotalEnergies of Saudi-Aramco?Die andere hoogvlieger is Pfizer. De farmaceut verrast niet alleen met de kwartaalcijfers, dat doet het óók met de outlook. Het verhoogt de winstverwachting. Ondanks de torenhoge importheffingen van Trump en zijn dreigement om de prijzen van farmaceuten aan te pakken.Die vette bek gaat over Yum Brands, de eigenaar van onder meer KFC en de Pizza Hut. Dat heeft het pijnlijk genoeg heel lastig op de thuismarkt. Al kwartalen op rij draaien ze in de VS slecht.Ook vertellen we je alles over Palantir. Dat aandeel deed het al waanzinnig goed, maar blijft maar stijgen. Reden zijn de goede cijfers. We onderzoeken waarom dit bedrijf (dat onder meer de FBI als klant heeft) zo'n beurslieveling is. Verder in deze aflevering: De Zwitsers vliegen naar Trump om te onderhandelen over de tarieven Trump ziet Scott Bessent afhaken: hij wil geen Fed-baas worden TSMC heeft een lek: er zijn bedrijfsgeheimen gestolen Aandeelhouders van NovoNordisk slepen bedrijf voor de rechter See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, author and professor Graham Taylor sits down with Cole Smead to discuss his book, “Imperial Standard: Imperial Oil, Exxon, and the Canadian Oil Industry from 1880.” Their conversation takes an in-depth look at the history of Canada's Imperial Oil and its complex relationship with Exxon Mobil. Additionally, Cole and Graham discuss their expectations for the future of Imperial Oil, including if they foresee a time when the company is no longer controlled or majority owned by Exxon, and more!

The scale of our climate challenge is staggering: humans have pumped 1.6 trillion tonnes of carbon dioxide into the air and oceans since 1750, and we're adding another 40 billion tonnes every year. Even with dramatic emissions reductions, we're still on track to blow past 1.5 degrees of warming, the Paris Accord target first breached in 2024. Tune in to a conversation with Dr. Julio Friedmann, Chief Scientist at Carbon Direct. This carbon management company partners with Fortune 500 companies such as Microsoft, JPMorgan Chase, and American Express to transform net-zero commitments into science-backed action plans. After a career that began as a researcher at ExxonMobil and included service at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Columbia University's energy policy center, and running advanced energy programs in the Obama administration's Department of Energy, Julio brings unique expertise to the intersection of massive climate challenges and current technological capabilities. As companies work toward 2030 and 2050 carbon goals, the question isn't whether we'll need massive carbon removal—it's whether we can deploy it fast enough and fairly enough to matter. The recent $100 million XPRIZE Carbon Removal awards highlighted the diversity of approaches being pursued, with natural solutions like enhanced rock weathering using basalt and azomite soil, and biochar applications to farmland dominating the winners. But how do these technologies stack up against the hype? Friedmann provides a realistic assessment of where Direct Air Capture, ocean alkalinity enhancement, and other carbon removal approaches stand today. Carbon Direct's team of 70+ scientists changes the conversation with corporate clients about their carbon strategies, providing the scientific firepower to offer hard feedback about what's needed to preserve the markets, supply chains, and revenue streams companies depend on.

The Commander In Chief's Trophy 2nd Edition: Desert Storm The Beginning of the Air Assault  by Paul H. D'AnnaIn 1959, Paul D'Anna read about West Point cadets attempting to make off with the Naval Academy's mascot Bill the Goat. Since then, he has followed other similar accounts and was inspired to blend them all together in a book. For, while America's different military academies are rightly prestigious and highly disciplined institutions, students there still have a campus life. They have sports rivalries and a sense of youthful camaraderie like any other school in the country. Against this backdrop, there are still plenty of intriguing and humorous stories to tell.Paul is a happy and content retiree who has had quite an extensive career in technology. He graduated with a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from LSU, which landed him jobs at IBM, Shell Oil, and Exxon Mobil. Today, he spends his days gardening and writing down interesting tales for publishing. Aside from technology, he is also fascinated by the going-ons in the U.S. military, such as contemporary events like Operation Desert Storm as well as the less-talked-about life among students at the country's various (and prestigious) military academies.https://www.readersmagnet.com/ product/the-commander-in- chiefs-trophy-2nd-addition- paperback/https://www.pauldannabooks. com/http://www. bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/ twia/5825phdr.mp3

US equity futures are little changed. European markets pointed to a weaker open, while Asian equities finished mostly higher. The market focus remains on trade developments after President Trump began issuing tariff letters to countries without deals, including Japan and South Korea, which now face 25% base tariffs starting 1-Aug. The White House said more letters will follow, though emphasized flexibility on the deadline and openness to negotiate rates. Reuters reported the EU is likely exempt, signaling progress toward a deal. Trump also threatened an additional 10% tariff for countries pursuing "anti-American" BRICS-aligned policies.Companies Mentioned: Blackstone, SFR, Shein, Hess, Chevron, Exxon Mobil

John D Rockefeller built his fortune refining oil and founding Standard Oil. A pioneer of the U.S. business trust, he helped shape the structure of the modern corporation. His influence lives on in companies like Chevron, ExxonMobil, and ConocoPhillips, and in institutions like the Rockefeller Foundation. But not everyone saw him as a visionary. President Theodore Roosevelt branded the Rockefeller family a “malefactor of great wealth,” and Rockefeller's monopoly helped spark America's first antitrust laws. To some, he was a ruthless robber baron; to others, a generous philanthropist who gave away over $500 million. BBC business editor Simon Jack and journalist Zing Tsjeng unpack the contradictions of Rockefeller's empire.

In the past few weeks, Qatar has been all over the news with flashy headlines of a $400 million luxury jet that the country gifted to President Donald Trump. It symbolized their opulence and eagerness to please the U.S. But 40 years ago, Qatar was a country with a gross domestic product (GDP) of a few billion dollars. Since the 19th century, it has been run by the Al Thani family, which can trace its roots in the region back thousands of years. Qatar was long considered a backwater. The main industries were fishing and pearls. It was impoverished for the vast majority of its history. Its royal family was dwarfed by rivals in Saudi Arabia. Then everything changed. It turned out that the largest liquified natural gas field was sitting just off the coast of Qatar. And with the help of American energy giants like ExxonMobil, Qatar began exporting LNG in 1997. In a few decades, Qatar's GDP grew exponentially. Today it's over $200 billion. Qatar hosts the main air base for American forces in the Middle East. It hosted the World Cup in 2022. And it's embarking on a series of business and military deals with the U.S.—earmarked at $1.2 trillion. There are a lot of petro-states in the region. Some, like Saudi Arabia, exceed Qatar's wealth by hundreds of billions. But what Qatar has chosen to do with its money—morality aside—is farsighted. Qatar has chosen to focus a huge amount of money and resources on influence. In the past 15 years, Qatar has developed a sophisticated apparatus to embed itself into American society in a way that would shock most Americans. They've done it by investing in our politicians, universities, newsrooms, think tanks, lobbying firms, and corporations—all on an unprecedented scale. In all, the tiny Gulf nation has spent almost $100 billion to establish this influence. So what's the problem? Well, Qatar's push to buy influence has made their connection to the Muslim Brotherhood ever more alarming and apparent. Frannie Block and Jay Solomon published a massive investigative report on Qatar's seismic influence strategy for The Free Press. It's called “How Qatar Bought America.” Today on Honestly, I ask Jay and Frannie how Qatar built this ecosystem, what they want in return, and what it has already gotten them.

From the “Vertical Gas Corridor” to projects in the Eastern Mediterranean, Greece is stepping up its efforts on the energy front. This is placing it at the heart of exciting new developments that will link the East Med with Central Europe and even Ukraine, while drawing the attention of US energy giants like Exxon Mobil and Chevron. Tom Ellis, the editor in chief of Kathimerini's English Edition, joins Thanos Davelis as we break down some of the latest developments on the energy front, and look at what they mean for Greece and its partners in the region.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Greece on the regional energy mapGreece an ‘ideal connector' in the IMEC corridorGas to flow from Greece to Slovakia, UkraineGreek delegation heads to Egypt amid controversy Ankara eyeing Aegean in new exercise

The US is risking ceding global market share of clean energy to China, permanently.New tariffs, put in place one day then removed the next. Rising costs for everything along the supply chain. The US clean energy sector is navigating one of its most unpredictable phases yet. From solar to storage, how are developers and policymakers reacting to renewed trade tensions and their impact on the energy transition? “This isn't just about clean energy deployment. It's about whether the US will have a seat at the table in the future global energy economy,” says Leslie Abrahams, Deputy Director of the Energy Security and Climate Change Program at CSIS – the Center for Strategic & International Studies. She joins host Sylvia Leyva Martinez, a principal analyst covering global energy markets at Wood Mackenzie, to find out what the outlook is for US energy innovation. Escalating tariff policy is shaking investor confidence, altering supply chains, and putting the power firmly with China.Plus, in the second half of the show, Sylvia gets the developer perspective, from Joao Barreto, who is CEO of EDP Renewables' distributed generation business in North America. He explains how one of the world's largest clean energy developers is mitigating risk, adjusting their strategy, and building trust with manufacturers and offtakers amid unprecedented uncertainty.Sylvia, Leslie and Joao discuss:Why US$8 billion in clean energy projects were cancelled in Q1 2025, and what that signals to the marketHow US tariffs on Chinese batteries are backfiring on domestic manufacturingThe challenge of accelerating R&D while shutting out foreign investmentHow storage and solar developers are hedging their betsWhether the US risks ceding global market share to China permanentlyPower Play was developed by ExxonMobil to shine a light on the accomplishments of remarkable women and the men who uphold the importance of empowering others in the LNG and decarbonization industries.
