While the U.S., India, and countries in the Persian Gulf are all moving quickly to establish new critical mineral supply chains, the European Union is struggling to follow suit, particularly in Africa. The EU currently lacks a cohesive policy framework that would bolster mining companies, support partner countries, and encourage the development of a mineral processing sector that can lessen Europe's current dependence on China. To do this, the EU should follow China's model in Africa, where it paired extraction with the development of vital infrastructure, according to a new commentary from the European Centre for Development Policy Management (ECDPM). The authors, Poorva Karkare and Karim Karaki, join Eric & Géraud from Brussels to explain why the EU should strive for strategic complementarity rather than competition with China in Africa.

On this episode of People in Power, California Energy Markets Associate Editor Abigail Sawyer talks with Mark Toney, executive director of The Utility Reform Network, about California's unprecedented rate increases over the past several years, the factors driving those increases and what can be done to keep power bills from continuing to rise. Toney doesn't hold back in offering his opinions on reasonable wildfire safety measures, who should pay for them, and whether the California Public Utilities Commission is doing its job.  He also discusses legislation currently before California lawmakers that TURN believes could slow the upward advance of utility rates.

In this hard-hitting segment, Tara and Lee dissect the media's chaotic narrative around Iran's nuclear program—first claiming it didn't exist, then acknowledging it did after Trump bombed it. They expose the mainstream media's selective outrage and reliance on enemy sources like Hamas while ignoring admissions from Iran's own foreign minister. The episode shifts to Ted Cruz's viral grilling of Biden energy advisor David Arkush, who once called for prosecuting oil executives for murder—despite admitting he arrived at the Capitol using gas-powered Uber. Tara and Lee then debunk the fantasy of “clean energy,” citing Toyota's chairman and the massive carbon footprint behind EVs, wind, and solar tech. A scathing takedown of media lies, progressive hypocrisy, and the myth of zero-emission living.

This week, our special guest is Daniel Yergin, Vice Chairman of S&P Global and Chairman of S&P's CERAWeek conference. Daniel is the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of “The Prize: The Epic Quest for Oil, Money, and Power”. His most recent book is “The New Map: Energy, Climate, and the Clash of Nations”. Please note that the interview with Daniel Yergin was recorded on June 11th, before the Israel and Iran conflict began on June 13th, 2025. Here are some of the questions Peter and Jackie asked Daniel Yergin: Why did you describe the energy transition as troubled and in need of a pragmatic path forward? Do you believe there is a growing consensus that the “fast energy transition” scenario is unrealistic? Do you anticipate Europe softening its green policies and subsidies or extending timelines for net-zero goals? How do you foresee the trade war and competition between the G2 (the United States and China) evolving? How dominant is China in clean energy, and what implications does this hold for the United States' ability to compete? What is OPEC's motivation for reintroducing supply to the market during a period of weaker demand? What strategy would you recommend for Canada to address US trade pressures and potential annexation threats? Content referenced in this podcast:Foreign Affairs, “The Troubled Energy Transition: How to Find a Pragmatic Path Forward” by Daniel Yergin, Peter Orszag, and Atul Arya (April 2025) Please review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/ Check us out on social media: X (Twitter): @arcenergyinstLinkedIn: @ARC Energy Research Institute Subscribe to ARC Energy Ideas PodcastApple PodcastsAmazon MusicSpotify

China is still the world's biggest greenhouse gas emitter, but is now also leading the way in clean energy. Where does that leave Canada and other western nations in the renewables race, particularly in light of U.S. President Donald Trump's promise to “drill baby, drill”?

In this episode of the Energy News Beat Daily Standup, the hosts, Stuart Turley and Michael Tanner discuss the challenges and implications of the UK's energy transition, including the retraining of oil and gas workers for clean energy jobs, the risks of overreliance on renewable energy, and the rising costs of the Net Zero crusade. They also cover President Trump's Gulf tour and significant energy agreements with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE, and the ongoing debate over the future of the Green New Deal. The hosts highlight the changing dynamics in the energy market, including the impact of the Trans Mountain pipeline on Canadian oil exports and a slowdown in U.S. oil and gas drilling.Highlights of the Podcast 00:00 - Intro02:03 - Britain's Plan to Retrain Oil and Gas Workers for Clean Energy Jobs04:37 - The UK's Green Energy Transition Faces Critical Slowdown Amid Growing Concerns06:49 - Net Zero crusade by Ed Miliban is adding billions to their broken system.08:34 - President Trump's Gulf tour inks significant energy and technology agreements with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE.12:28 - Republicans have one last chance to kill the “Green New Scam” subsidies forever14:07 - The Trans Mountain oil pipeline in Canada has changed the export market for Canadian crude17:40 Markets Update19:34 - Rig Count Update19:41 - Frac Count Update19:52 - U.S. Oil and Gas Drillers Backing Off or Slowing Down23:53 - OutroPlease see the links below or articles that we discuss in the podcast.Britain's Plan to Retrain Oil and Gas Workers for Clean Energy JobsThe UK's Green Energy Transition Faces Critical Slowdown Amid Growing ConcernsNet Zero crusade by Ed Miliban is adding billions to their broken system.President Trump's Gulf tour inks significant energy and technology agreements with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE.Republicans have one last chance to kill the “Green New Scam” subsidies foreverThe Trans Mountain oil pipeline in Canada has changed the export market for Canadian crudeU.S. Oil and Gas Drillers Backing Off or Slowing DownFollow Stuart On LinkedIn and TwitterFollow Michael On LinkedIn and TwitterENB Top NewsEnergy DashboardENB PodcastENB SubstackENB Trading DeskOil & Gas Investing– Get in Contact With The Show –

Our weekly airing of the grievances is perhaps a little spicy this time because frankly, we're sweating our butts off. Lucky for Texas, renewable energy has carried the load keeping the AC on, but Republicans still hate it. A curious child marriage bill gets a curious House vote, which we'll explain. Ted Cruz wants to give babies a grand (thanks Ted!). And, the nerds of PT are fired up over Andor and the important political lessons it carries for progressive types these days. Have a great weekend, and may the schwartz be with you.Thanks for listening! Learn more about Progress Texas and how you can support our ongoing work at https://progresstexas.org/.

Transmission in the West is a huge topic nowadays, with many more lines and additional infrastructure needed to meet renewable-energy goals and maintain grid reliability in the face of significant load growth. This episode of People in Power features Neil Millar, vice president of transmission planning and infrastructure development at the California Independent System Operator, the man who guides CAISO's multibillion-dollar annual planning process. Neil is also responsible for managing new generation interconnections across CAISO's territory—a lot of responsibility, indeed. Check out this insightful interview on People in Power.

If you're interested in learning more about the construction of Hoover Dam, scroll to the end of the show notes for links.00:00 - A Quick Dam Joke, the Consortium, and Some StatsWe question our ability to keep our puns in check. Sorry, Mom.Then we move on to the contractors. We discuss the consortium called Six Companies Inc. that won the bid at nearly $49 million, approximately $860 million in today's dollars.Eddie makes a conveniently timed comparison to the Washington Monument. The Hoover Dam is 726 feet tall–almost 200 feet taller than the Washington Monument. Only 6 buildings in the US were taller than the dam when it was built.We discuss some stats:-4.4 million cubic yards of concrete were used in the project. That is enough to pave a two-lane road from Seattle to Miami or a four-foot-wide sidewalk around the Earth at the Equator or enough to pave a two-lane road from Seattle to Miami.-Its base is as thick as the length of 2 football end-to-end-It has 4 intake towers (30' diameter each) that can carry enough water to fill 900 bathtubs in only one second. That means 1,448,100 “bathtubfuls” of water will have passed through the dam in the time it takes you to listen to this episode.07:15 - Construction Costs and Power OutputTyler mentions that the cost of the initial construction, which finished in 1936, wasn't paid off until 1987. Eddie discusses the way that we handle financing for capital projects, spending not just tomorrow's money–but money that won't come in for decades.We compare these expenses to the absolutely monumental amount of economic impact that the electricity from the dam has had. Here's where the 4 billion kilowatt-hours each year goes:19% to Arizona23% to Nevada58% percent goes to California (15% to LA, which is 270 miles away)10:46 - Hoovervilles and FatalitiesEddie fills the gaps in Tyler's history education with an explanation of the Hoovervilles from the Great Depression. Hoover didn't get much positive PR aside from this dam.We discuss the desperation of the Great Depression is shown by the fact that the ability to line up workers for a job to do this. Tyler shares the troubling coincidence is the fact that the first and last men to die on this project were father and son.Thinking about these human costs leads us into a discussion about the structure of incentives and penalties that drove the owners of Six Companies to push the pace of construction.19:53 - Takeaways: Big Projects, Green Energy, Old-school DraftingWe discuss the fact that bold projects lead to emboldened people who move on to even bolder projects. Sometimes biting off more than you can chew leads to growth.Tyler makes the point that this dam was a green-energy project long before the term “green energy” was coined. He also expresses awe at the thought that all of the drafting for this massive project would have been done by hand.Eddie stops short of calling himself a history buff, but he expresses a deep respect for the teams of designers and workers who accomplished massive projects like this with so little help from what we consider advanced technologies.Tyler invites you to submit your ideas for future research-based projects.If you're interested in additional details about the Hoover Dam, explore these sources:EIA.govUSBR.govB1M video: compares the world's largest dams to other structuresLake Mead historical water-level chartNPS.govBechtel's page about construction of the damOld publicity/education videoLibrary of Congress PhotosVideo of the physics and engineering involvedCheck out the partners that make our show possible.Find Us Online: BrosPodcast.com - LinkedIn - Youtube - Instagram - Facebook - TikTok - Eddie's LinkedIn - Tyler's LinkedInIf you enjoy the podcast, please rate us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to us! Thanks for listening

Over the last 10 years Washington has passed a bevy of climate laws aimed at reducing the state’s carbon emissions. That includes a carbon auction, a ban on coal in the state’s energy mix, and a requirement that the state reach net zero emissions by 2045. But during that same period, energy production from renewable sources has actually declined slightly. Oregon has set its sights on net zero emissions by 2050. It, too, has seen sluggish growth in renewable energy. Both states rely on the Bonneville Power Administration to move energy across the state. A new investigation from Oregon Public Broadcasting and ProPublica’s Local Reporting Network, found that the Bonneville Power Administration's aging grid may be stymieing decarbonization efforts in the Northwest.

GREEN ENERGY IS EXPENSIVE AND UNRELIABLE ENERGY And Amy Oliver Cooke writes about it here for Complete Colorado. This is my favorite part:Environmentalists appealed to consumers by saying wind and solar would save ratepayers money. From the outset, Governor Polis refused to provide a detailed cost analysis of his plan while rejecting Independence Institute's 2017 projection that the transition could cost $45 billion. Polis insisted the Institute's estimates were inflated and modeled a plan that wasn't even his. Yet, Polis never offered an alternative figure, saying, instead, he knows it will be less.Fast forward to 2024. The Colorado Energy Office's (CEO) Ascend Analytics report offered an acknowledgment and a sobering warning: Polis's wind, solar, and battery-only system would require 69,000 megawatts of new capacity by 2040 and still “barely meet reliability targets.” At $61 billion, it's also the most expensive scenario studied. That figure doesn't even include the billions of dollars needed for transmission costs. The total system cost will be far greater.Once again, the Institute did the math. The total system cost for Polis' plan, including storage, necessary overbuild, backup, property taxes, and utility profits, new wind and solar costs $280–$319 per megawatt-hour, compared to $32 for existing coal and $40 for gas. Wind and solar costs aren't just expensive—they're economically destabilizing.Amy is on the show to discuss at 1pm, but you really should watch her great show with Jake Fogelman called Power Gab here.

Today's episode features Felix Krause, founding partner of Vireo Ventures, one of Europe's leading early-stage energy tech investors. Felix is based in Berlin and brings decades of experience across solar project development, corporate VC, and now independent fund management.We dig deep into why electrification is the real unlock for climate, and why Felix and his team believe the software that manages energy flows—not new forms of generation—is where VC dollars can make the biggest impact.Felix also talks candidly about:How Vireo built a reputation as a hands-on, brutally honest investorWhy “doing good and making money” aren't mutually exclusiveHow to spot founders with true grit and fire in their eyesWhy Europe is at a critical inflection point for tech sovereigntyWe also cover how AI and increasing data availability are quietly enabling new software business models in energy—from optimizing legacy boilers in multifamily buildings to managing distributed assets securely.If you're wondering how to build (or back) meaningful energy tech in today's shifting market, this episode is packed with pragmatic insights—and just the right amount of optimism.TopicsShort Version04:36 Founding Vireo Ventures: The Transition to Investment09:20 Building Relationships with Founders14:20 The Importance of Honesty in Investment17:52 Navigating the Future of Energy22:44 Data and Cybersecurity in Clean Tech25:12 Navigating the Go-To-Market Strategy25:57 Investing in Early-Stage Software Companies27:27 The Role of Data Extraction in Electrification29:55 Understanding Business Models in Climate Tech31:11 Evaluating Software Sales Strategies34:13 AI's Impact on Electrification and Business ModelsLinksFelix Krause | Vireo VenturesConnect with Somil on LinkedIn | Connect with Silas on LinkedInFollow CleanTechies on LinkedInThis podcast is NOT investment advice.

A fiery commentary connecting Bill Belichick's controversial relationship with Jordan Hudson to broader cultural and political critiques, including media spin and alleged gold-digging. The transcript then pivots to Spain's recent national blackout following its switch to 100% renewable energy—offering a harsh critique of left-wing energy policies, grid vulnerabilities, and the dangers of political idealism over practicality.

Jon Herold and Zak "RedPill78" Paine take the scenic route through chaos and conspiracy in Baseless Conspiracies Ep. 130. They start with Spain's massive blackout, exposing the laughable "rare atmospheric phenomenon" cover story and linking the disaster to Iberia's push for 100% renewable energy. From the grid failures to fears of cyberattacks and climate manipulation, they pull apart the official narratives and explore deeper motives. The show dives into wild but real historical conspiracies, like the U.S. government's Project Sunshine, where officials secretly robbed graves to study nuclear fallout effects. They also break down the hilarious but true story of the Pentagon's 1990s attempt to create a “gay bomb” as a non-lethal battlefield weapon. Other topics include Trudeau's election shenanigans, Spain's solar energy collapse, immigration insanity, and the bizarre world of occult symbolism in infrastructure. It's a packed, rapid-fire episode blending humor, horror, and hard truths about the system's complete dysfunction.
