The following is an extended interview from our upcoming podcast special “Louisiana Survived Katrina. Will it Survive the Petrochemical Industry? — that takes a deeper dive into the stories of the frontline communities fighting back.We speak with General Russel Honoré, the retired Lieutenant General who led the federal response to Katrina and now heads the GreenArmy, a grassroots environmental alliance.Since the Trump administration returned to office in 2025, a surge of federally approved LNG export plants has swept across Louisiana's coast. Honoré warns these developments are accelerating land loss, worsening hurricane impacts, and deepening the crisis for communities already facing climate displacement. Many have been forced to move multiple times as storms intensify, floodwaters rise, and petrochemical pollution endangers public health—especially in Black, Indigenous, and working-class areas.In this urgent and unfiltered interview, General Honoré speaks out about government capture, corporate corruption, and the growing disconnect between environmental policy and public survival. For him, real resilience means challenging the industries and institutions that continue to put profit ahead of people.GUEST: General Russel L.

Across these two fiery transcripts, the narrative unfolds of a dramatic economic turnaround under Donald Trump's leadership—defying dire media forecasts of "Tariffageddon." The commentary begins with the European Union folding under pressure, agreeing to buy $750 billion in U.S. goods, including LNG and agriculture, after tariffs force their hand. Then, the focus shifts to the aftermath: a 3% GDP rebound, record-breaking exports, and stunned financial pundits proven wrong. With biting criticism of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and corporate media, the speaker champions Trump's “commercial diplomacy” as the catalyst for restoring American strength at home and abroad.

The discussion covers rising OPEC production, evolving global supply structures, and a deep dive into LNG market trends—including emerging export projects in the U.S. and Australia. The episode also spotlights Tamboran Resources, a small-cap company with high-potential natural gas assets in Australia. Tune in for expert insights on where the energy markets are headed and what it means for small-cap investors.
A trade deal reached on Sunday between the United States and the European Union has sparked controversy among European officials, businesspeople and analysts — despite both sides hailing it as a step toward restoring "trade balance "and promoting fairer commerce.美国和欧盟周日达成的一项贸易协议在欧洲官员、商界人士和分析人士中引发了争议,尽管双方都称赞这是恢复“贸易平衡”和促进更公平商业的一步。At the heart of the debate is the deal's asymmetry: The US will lower tariffs on EU goods to 15 percent, while the EU has agreed not to impose additional tariffs on US products.争论的核心是该协议的不对称性:美国将把欧盟商品的关税降至15%,而欧盟已同意不对美国产品征收额外关税。French Minister for European Affairs Benjamin Haddad described the agreement as "unbalanced", though he acknowledged it would "bring temporary stability to economic actors threatened by the escalation of American tariffs".法国欧洲事务部长本杰明·哈达德称该协议“不平衡”,尽管他承认该协议将“为受美国关税升级威胁的经济行为体带来暂时的稳定”。German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said, "We have thus managed to preserve our fundamental interests, even if I would have wished for more relief in trans-Atlantic trade."德国总理弗里德里希·默茨说:“因此,我们设法维护了我们的根本利益,即使我希望在跨大西洋贸易中得到更多缓解。”Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said the agreement "ensures stability" and that the 15 percent tariff level is "sustainable", especially if it is not added to previous duties.意大利总理Giorgia Meloni表示,该协议“确保了稳定”,15%的关税水平是“可持续的”,特别是如果不将其添加到以前的关税中。Olivier Blanchard, a Robert Solow professor of economics emeritus at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, called the agreement "completely unequal", saying the "asymmetric 15 percent tariffs are an EU defeat".麻省理工学院Robert Solow经济学荣誉退休教授Olivier Blanchard称该协议“完全不平等”,称“不对称的15%关税是欧盟的失败”。"When the law of the jungle prevails, the weak have little choice than to accept their fate," he wrote on X. "But Europe could potentially have been strong, either alone or in a coalition with others. It would have had to be ready for stormy waters. But it would have gotten a better deal in the end and sent a strong message to the world. An opportunity lost."“当丛林法则盛行时,弱者别无选择,只能接受自己的命运,”他在X上写道。“但欧洲本可以强大,无论是单独还是与其他国家结盟。它必须为风暴做好准备。但最终它会得到更好的协议,并向世界发出强烈的信息。失去了一个机会。”Bernard Dewit, chairman of the Belgian-Chinese Chamber of Commerce, voiced concern over the 15 percent baseline US tariff on EU goods, "particularly in light of Europe's broader economic and trade interests".比利时中国商会主席Bernard Dewit对美国对欧盟商品征收15%的基准关税表示担忧,“特别是考虑到欧洲更广泛的经济和贸易利益”。"Such a move risks escalating trans-Atlantic trade tensions and could undermine the stability and predictability that European businesses rely on," he told China Daily.他告诉《中国日报》:“此举有可能加剧跨大西洋贸易紧张局势,并可能破坏欧洲企业所依赖的稳定性和可预测性。”。"European exporters, including many in Belgium, operate in highly integrated global supply chains. The imposition of a blanket tariff will inevitably increase costs, reduce competitiveness and possibly prompt retaliatory measures — ultimately hurting consumers and small- and medium-sized enterprises on both sides of the Atlantic."“欧洲出口商,包括比利时的许多出口商,在高度一体化的全球供应链中运营。征收一揽子关税将不可避免地增加成本,降低竞争力,并可能引发报复措施,最终损害大西洋两岸的消费者和中小型企业。”Dewit urged Europe to further diversify its trade relationships. "Strengthening ties with dynamic markets such as China, ASEAN, and Africa becomes increasingly strategic," he said.德维特敦促欧洲进一步实现贸易关系多样化。他说:“加强与中国、东盟和非洲等充满活力的市场的联系变得越来越具有战略意义。”。Bernd Lange, chair of the European Parliament's Committee on International Trade, described the US-EU deal as "lopsided".欧洲议会国际贸易委员会主席贝恩德·兰格将美欧协议描述为“一边倒”。"My first assessment: not satisfactory," he wrote on X. "Concessions have clearly been made that are difficult to accept. Deal with significant imbalance."“我的第一个评估是:不令人满意,”他在X上写道。“显然已经做出了难以接受的让步。处理严重的不平衡。”According to the published details of the agreement, the EU has pledged to purchase $750 billion worth of US energy and commit an additional $600 billion in US investments.根据已公布的协议细节,欧盟已承诺购买价值7500亿美元的美国能源,并承诺向美国额外投资6000亿美元。The scale of the deal has left many European analysts stunned. Qin Yan, a principal analyst at ClearBlue Markets in Norway, told China Daily that every energy market expert she is talking with is busy calculating how much US energy the EU would need to buy to reach such a harsh number.这笔交易的规模让许多欧洲分析人士感到震惊。挪威ClearBlue Markets的首席分析师秦燕告诉《中国日报》,与她交谈的每一位能源市场专家都在忙着计算欧盟需要购买多少美国能源才能达到如此苛刻的数字。Clyde Russell, an Asia commodities and energy columnist for Reuters, noted: "Putting together the value of EU imports of US crude oil, LNG and metallurgical coal gives a 2024 total of around $64.55 billion.路透社亚洲大宗商品和能源专栏作家Clyde Russell指出:“将欧盟进口的美国原油、液化天然气和冶金煤的价值加起来,2024年的总价值约为645.5亿美元。"This is about 26 percent of the $250 billion the EU is supposed to spend on US energy a year under the framework agreement."“这大约是欧盟根据框架协议每年应在美国能源上花费2500亿美元的26%。”Qin likened the deal to "visiting a small cafe around the street corner and booking a banquet big enough for 1,000 tables of guests".秦将这笔交易比作“参观街角的一家小咖啡馆,预订一场足以容纳1000桌客人的宴会”。"My concern is that the commitment to US energy purchases should not undermine the EU's climate goal," she said.她说:“我担心的是,美国购买能源的承诺不应破坏欧盟的气候目标。”。lopsidedn.不平衡,/ˌlɒpˈsaɪdɪd/baselinen.基础/ˈbeɪslaɪn/
bto - beyond the obvious 2.0 - der neue Ökonomie-Podcast von Dr. Daniel Stelter
bto#309 REFRESH – Nichts ist so wichtig für die Identität der GRÜNEN wie ihr letztlich hoch erfolgreicher Kampf gegen die Kernenergie. Deutschland ist als einziges Industrieland aus der Atomenergie ausgestiegen und versucht seither vergeblich, die entstandene Lücke durch Erneuerbare Energien zu ersetzen. Dennoch bleibt der Strom in Deutschland trotz der Ausgabe von mehreren hundert Milliarden Euro – wie viele es genau sind, lässt sich wegen fehlender Transparenz nicht genau beziffern – überdurchschnittlich dreckig und teuer. Ein in doppeltem Sinne zu teuer erkaufter Sieg. In den letzten 30 Jahren nahm die erzeugte Strommenge in Deutschland stetig zu und Strom konnte exportiert werden. In den Jahren 2023 und 2024 kehrte sich das Verhältnis um und Deutschland musste Strom importieren. Vor allem aus Frankreich wurde viel Strom bezogen – dem Atomstromland par excellence. Gleichzeitig blieben Braun- und Steinkohle mit zusammen 22 Prozent und Erdgas mit 16 Prozent Anteil am Energieträgermix unverzichtbare fossile Kohlendioxid-Emittenten.Nicht nur, dass der Energieverbrauch ein Wohlstandsindikator ist, die Verfügbarkeit von günstiger Energie ist vielmehr ein Standortfaktor für die Wirtschaft. Künftige Industrien werden durch KI und Automatisierung gekennzeichnet sein und mehr statt weniger Strom benötigen. Erneuerbare Energien allein werden diese Energiemengen niemals bereitstellen können – allein schon wegen ihrer fehlenden durchgängigen Verfügbarkeit und der auf absehbare Zeit nicht vorhandenen ausreichenden Speicherkapazitäten. Wenn Sonne und Wind abwesend sind, müssen Alternativen einspringen. Deshalb ist klar: Der Verzicht auf Kernenergie bedingt den Einsatz fossiler Brennstoffe wie Kohle, russischem Gas oder LNG aus dem ungeliebten Fracking. Damit haben die GRÜNEN letztlich dem Klima und der hiesigen Wirtschaft gleichermaßen massiv geschadet. Dr. Anna Veronika Wendland, die anfangs Teil der Anti-Atomkraft-Bewegung war und sich mittlerweile zu einer Kernkraftbefürworterin gewandelt hat, erklärte die Zusammenhänge in Episode 148 Die grüne Kohlepartei. Wendland ist Technikhistorikerin am Herder-Institut in Marburg.

In this fiery “Kim on a Whim,” Kim and Marc take aim at the hysterical reaction from the left over Trump's tariff wins, blasting phony political stunts like a staged Reno coffee receipt meant to paint tariffs as a tax on Americans. They praise Bill Maher for admitting he was wrong about the economy tanking and call out Chuck Schumer's blatant dishonesty in claiming Trump's EU deal is fake. The duo breaks down how Trump's fair-trade reset is opening foreign markets to American goods like bourbon and LNG, bringing in billions in new revenue. While Schumer cries “tax hike,” Marc and Kim expose how these policies flip the script—making foreign nations pay their fair share instead of American workers.

Our Head of ASEAN Research Nick Lord discusses how Singapore's technological innovation and market influence are putting it on track to continue rising among the world's richest countries.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Nick Lord, Morgan Stanley's Head of ASEAN Research.Today – Singapore is about to celebrate its 60th year of independence. And it's about to enter its most transformative decade yet.It's Monday, the 28th of July, at 2 PM in Singapore.Singapore isn't just marking a significant birthday on August 9th. It's entering a new era of wealth creation that could nearly double household assets in just five years. That's right—we're projecting household net assets in the city state will grow from $2.3 trillion today to $4 trillion by 2030.So, what's driving this next chapter?Well, Singapore is evolving from a safe harbor for global capital into a strategic engine of innovation and influence driven by three major forces. First, the country's growing role as a global hub. Second, its early and aggressive adoption of new technologies. And last but not least, a bold set of reforms aimed at revitalizing its equity markets.Together, these pillars are setting the stage for broad-based wealth creation—and investors are taking notice.Singapore is home to just 6 million people, but it's already the fourth-richest country in the world on a per capita basis. And it's not stopping there.By 2030, we expect the average household net worth to rise from $1.6 million to an impressive $2.5 million. Assets under management should jump from $4 trillion to $7 trillion. And the MSCI Singapore Index could gain 10 percent annually, potentially doubling in value over the next five years. Return on equity for Singaporean companies is also set to rise—from 12 percent to 14 percent—thanks to productivity gains, market reforms, and stronger shareholder returns.But let me come back to this first pillar of Singapore's growth story. Its ambition to become a hub of hubs. It's already a major player in finance, trade, and transportation, Singapore is now doubling down on its strengths.In commodities, it handles 20 percent of the world's energy and metals trading—and it could become a future hub for LNG and carbon trading. Elsewhere, in financial services, Singapore's also the third largest cross-border wealth booking centre, and the third-largest FX trading hub globally. Tourism is also a key piece of the puzzle, contributing about 4 percent to GDP. The country continues to invest in world-class infrastructure, events, and attractions keeping the visitors—and their dollars—coming.As for technology – the second key pillar of growth – Singapore is going all in. It's becoming a regional hub for data and AI, with Malaysia and Japan also in the mix. Together, these countries are expected to attract the lion's share of the $100 billion in Asia's data center and GenAI investments this decade.Worth noting – Singapore is already a top-10 AI market globally, with over 1,000 startups, 80 research facilities, and 150 R&D teams. It's also a regional leader in autonomous vehicles, with 13 AVs currently approved for public road trials. And robots are already working at Singapore's Changi Airport.Finally, despite its economic strength, Singapore's stock market had long been seen as sleepy — dominated by a few big banks and real estate firms. But that's changing fast and becoming the third pillar of Singapore's remarkable growth story.This year, the government rolled out a sweeping set of reforms to breathe new life into the market. That includes tax incentives, regulatory streamlining, and a $4 billion capital injection from the Monetary Authority of Singapore to boost liquidity—especially for small- and mid-cap stocks.We also expect that there will be a push to get listed companies more engaged with shareholders, encouraging them to communicate their business plans and value propositions more clearly. The goal here is to raise Singapore's price-to-book ratio from 1.7x to 2.3x—putting it on a par with higher-rated markets like Taiwan and Australia.So, what does all this mean for investors?Well, Singapore is not just celebrating its past—it's building its future. With smart policy, bold innovation, and a clear vision, it's positioning itself as one of the most dynamic and investable markets in the world.Thanks for listening. If you enjoy the show, please leave us a review wherever you listen and share Thoughts on the Market with a friend or colleague today.
On July 7th, Gerard and Laurent were invited to appear on the U.S. podcast Open Circuit, alongside Jigar Shah, Katherine Hamilton, and Stephen Lacey. It was an emotional reunion—Jigar and Katherine were part of the original Energy Gang, the very show that inspired us to create our own.We had a rich, two-part conversation. The first part revisited the Spanish blackouts, a topic we had already explored in Episode 185. The second part delved into Europe's energy security and the evolving dynamic between “Petrostates” and “Electrostates”—the main focus of this episode.Twenty years ago, Europe and the U.S. shared a broadly aligned energy landscape. But the rise of American energy dominance has since driven a wedge between the two, contributing to today's political fractures across the Atlantic.Together, the five of us explored the implications of this growing misalignment—and where we might go from here. It was a passionate and thought-provoking discussion.
NGI's LNG editors Jamison Cocklin and Jacob Dick examine the market implications of Canada's entry into large-scale LNG exports, following Shell plc's LNG Canada facility shipping its first cargo in June. Despite the milestone, Canadian gas prices continue falling relative to Lower 48 counterparts as the country's producers aggressively ramp production ahead of demand. The discussion dives into the details of LNG Canada's startup, timelines for other projects advancing on the country's west coast, and when supply-demand rebalancing could impact U.S.-Canadian price differentials. The duo also cover the unique advantages Canadian LNG offers, including shorter shipping times to Asia, as well the challenges like building infrastructure in remote areas.
TotalEnergies is in gesprek met die Mosambiekse regering om gunstige omstandighede te skep om werk aan sy lang vertraagde LNG-projek in die noorde van die land te hervat. TotalEnergies sê soortgelyke gesprekke met die Namibiese regering sal moet plaasvind alvorens hy volgende jaar ‘n finale beleggingsbesluit oor die Venus-olieveld in die Oranjekom aflandig Namibië maak. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het met die plaaslike energiekenner Harald Schütt gepraat.
VOV1 - "Điện khí LNG cần hướng đến các hộ tiêu thụ công nghiệp, các hộ tiêu thụ lớn - người ta mong muốn có một cam kết dài hạn. Khi có cam kết dài hạn thì họ mới có thể cam kết được bao tiêu về điện, bao tiêu về khí nhập khẩu..." - TS. Nguyễn Quốc Thập.
In this Week 30 edition of the GMS Weekly Podcast, we cover the latest updates in global ship recycling. India takes the lead with a series of large LNG vessel deals, strong yard occupancy, and improving fundamentals. Pakistan continues to secure tonnage, while Bangladesh faces slow approvals and reduced yard activity. We explore regional shifts, currency fluctuations, delivery timelines, and the broader impact of the Hong Kong Convention on subcontinent recyclers. We cover: India's Momentum: Two Moss-type LNGs sold for over USD 640 per LDT. Alang receives over 107,000 LDT in one week, driven by non-ferrous-rich tonnage. Pakistan Holds Position: Gadani sees en bloc dry bulk acquisitions with bunkers onboard. Local steel prices remain high, and the Rupee shows modest recovery. Bangladesh Slows Down: No new arrivals reported. Delays in cutting permissions and weak domestic demand continue to affect sentiment. Turkey Remains Quiet: The Lira weakens further. No vessel arrivals, despite falling interest rates and slight economic easing.

In the dead of summer, a shift in tone appears to be taking hold between Canada's premiers and the prime minister.On this week's West of Centre, three Alberta-based journalists examine what may be driving Premier Danielle Smith's recent change in rhetoric. At the latest premiers' summit, Smith downplayed talk of a new oil pipeline and instead emphasized on shared priorities with B.C. Premier David Eby — including ammonia exports, LNG expansion and increasing Trans Mountain's capacity.Meghan Potkins of the Financial Post offers a reality check on the private sector's appetite for a new pipeline. Lisa Johnson of The Canadian Press and Alex Boyd of the Toronto Star explore whether more in-person engagement — and a new prime minister — may be shifting the dynamic among provincial leaders. And to what political end?The panel also unpacks renewed controversy over coal payouts. The Alberta government is now facing millions more in potential liabilities after reversing its policy on coal development in the Rockies — raising the prospect of further legal and political fallout.Attention then turns to the Battle River–Crowfoot byelection, where federal Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre faces a ballot featuring some 200 names. Is it a genuine complaint, or a pre-emptive explanation for what could be a lower vote share in one of the country's safest Conservative ridings?The episode ends on a sobering note. Globe and Mail reporter Carrie Tait was recently targeted with surveillance. The panel reflects on rising hostility toward journalists, and how it threatens not just the press, but the public's access to information.Host: Rob Brown | Producer & editor: Falice Chin | Guests: Meghan Potkins, Lisa Johnson, Alex Boyd
Trucking and logistics company Forward Air is on the verge of a potential acquisition, with several private equity firms, including Clearlake Capital and Apollo Global Management, submitting bids, causing its shares to surge 10%. This interest follows intense pressure from activist investors after the company's heavily contested merger with Omni Logistics, which shareholders criticized for its structure and the large debt burden it placed on Forward. In maritime news, a historic order has been placed for a new liquefied natural gas (LNG) vessel to be built at a Philadelphia shipyard, marking the first of its kind in the U.S. in nearly 50 years. This joint-build project by Hanwha Ocean and Hanwha Philly Shipyard aims to comply with new rules proposed by the United States Trade Representative, which are designed to counter China's dominance in shipping and shipbuilding by requiring a percentage of U.S. LNG exports to be transported on U.S.-flagged and crewed vessels. On the railroad front, CSX reported a decline in its second-quarter profits, with operating income falling 11% and revenue decreasing 3%. Despite these financial setbacks, executives expressed encouragement regarding the railroad's operational recovery during the quarter, highlighting improvements in on-time performance. CSX anticipates overall volume growth for the year, driven by numerous industrial development projects becoming operational and the ongoing conversion of freight from highway to intermodal transport.

A new U.S.–Japan trade agreement hits the stage, and while it's being sold as a win-win, the fine print suggests otherwise. Japan's automakers are cheering over modest 15% tariffs, while U.S. car companies watch nearly a third of their profits evaporate into tariff-induced costs—thanks to sky-high American steel prices. Add in a mysterious $550 billion Japanese investment with no clear terms and a joint LNG venture in Alaska, and you've got yourself a headline deal full of question marks. Beneficial? Maybe. Lopsided? Likely. Transparent? Not even close. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com

U.S. Makes 'Largest Trade Deal in History' With Japan; Habba Removed as U.S. Attorney for New Jersey | NTD Good MorningPresident Donald Trump is hailing a new trade deal with Japan as the largest in history, opening Japanese markets to more U.S. goods and lowering tariffs on Japanese cars. Japan is also planning to invest $550 billion in the United States and to launch a joint LNG project in Alaska. The announcement sparked a rally in Japanese stocks. The United States also reached trade deals with the Philippines and Indonesia on Tuesday, whereby Filipino goods will be charged a 19 percent tariff, but American goods zero percent.A panel of federal judges in New Jersey refused to extend the appointment of Alina Habba as U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, instead naming her deputy as a replacement. Department of Justice officials said Habba was pushed out for political reasons, as she is a former lawyer to President Donald Trump. The DOJ removed her deputy hours later. It remains unclear who will now take up the role.On Capitol Hill on Wednesday, two former ambassadors to Japan and Australia will discuss how they can better cooperate with the United States to counter the CCP's economic coercion. The three nations are working to try to reshape global trade to lessen reliance on China and maintain stability in the Indo-Pacific. The navies of the three countries recently signed a new logistics deal to streamline cooperation should a conflict break out in the Pacific. Meanwhile, the United States is pursuing trade negotiations with China next week in Sweden to discuss tariff deadlines.

Senior reporter Clare Pennington interviews ICIS senior data analyst Fei Xu and senior Asia LNG reporter Paula Xiao to unpick what is going on in Japan's LNG market. Japan is one of the world's largest LNG buyers, surpassed only by China in recent years and still vying for top spot as the world's largest LNG importer. But in the long term, some buyers think Japan might be overpositioned, ploughing too much money into its LNG purchase power. Both China and Japan are firmly over-contracted at the moment, but Japan's expiring contracts will place the latter in an under-contracted position by 2028. ICIS expects Japanese companies to sign more long-term contracts in the coming 2 years to fill this gap. But with wider energy investment plans, including in nuclear, how should Japan approach this changing market?

Josh Sigurdson reports on the warnings by the Department of Energy of a 100x increase in blackout risk by 2030 as land is seized in places like California following the Pacific Palisades fires through eminent domain and used for low income apartments and 15 Minute City infrastructure. As a new California bill seizes land after the Pacific Palisades fires, people like Grant Cardone had previously warned of this as his house was one of the few ocean front properties in Malibu that survived. Now, California Senate Bill 549 has passed making this a reality. This comes at the same time as we see massive floods in Texas around Kerr County as well as in New Mexico, North Carolina and elsewhere. Flash flooding is strangely popping up everywhere with much of those places facing land redevelopment. Spain faced major land grabs as well as blackouts just months ago following massive floods as well. Now the DoE is warning of 100x increases in blackout risks by 2030 on the same day as Trump's Energy Security executive order. Trump also put $1 trillion into massive AI data centers in Texas, causing a massive strain on the grid. Puerto Rico is facing blackout threats after New Fortress Energy halted LNG shipments. Farmers are warning if a supply chain disaster as we see massive shortages. This is all by design. Collapse the grid. Collapse the food supply. Create problems on the internet and then they come in with their technocratic "solution" which is already being rolled out and that is not a coincidence. The digital ID system. CBDCs. Artificial intelligence and of course the WEF agenda of "owning nothing" in the face of dependence and disaster. The script was written long ago. We cannot deny the fact that the entire technocratic grid just happens to be rolling out as trillions go into AI and the dollar fails leading to a new cashless system. From the United Nations Pact For The Future which 193 countries signed onto last September to the GENIUS Act, the AI deals with Saudi Arabia and Qatar, the entire world is moving to a ration based system while the old system is collapsing.

In this insightful episode of the Energy Impacts podcast, David Blackmon sits down with renowned energy expert and author Dan Yergin to explore the evolving landscape of global energy. Yergin's best-selling books include “The New Map,” “The Quest,” and “The Prize.”In the fast moving 30-minute interview, Daniel and David unpack key takeaways from the recent CERAWeek conference, including the rising demand for electricity driven by AI and data centers, the U.S.'s growing influence in global LNG markets, and the strategic implications of rare earth mineral supply chains dominated by China.Yergin also discusses the urgent need for infrastructure reform, the long timelines for mining and nuclear deployment, and why the energy transition may be more of an “energy addition.” From geopolitical tensions to copper shortages, this conversation provides a comprehensive look at the forces reshaping energy policy, markets, and global power dynamics.Foreign Affairs “The Energy Transition Needs a Reality Check” op/ed by Yergin: https://www.ceraweek.com/en/news/press-releases/foreign-affairs-the-energy-transition-needs-a-reality-checkBooks by Daniel Yergin: https://www.amazon.com/Prize-Daniel-Yergin/dp/1847376460?adgrpid=186996878628&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=748008426888&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=14490381126824490089&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9191716&hvtargid=dsa-2414841787166&hydadcr=&mcid=&hvocijid=14490381126824490089--&hvexpln=67&tag=googhydr-20&hvsb=Healthmedia_d&hvcampaign=dsadeskCERAWeek Home Page: https://www.ceraweek.com/enS&P Global Study on The Future of Copper: https://cdn.ihsmarkit.com/www/pdf/0722/The-Future-of-Copper_Full-Report_14July2022.pdfS&P Global Report on Chinese Control of Supply Chains: https://www.spglobal.com/market-intelligence/en/news-insights/research/critical-minerals-sourcing-rises-trade-troublesHighlights of the Podcast00:01 - Introduction01:21 - CERAweek Themes03:43 - U.S. LNG as a Geopolitical Power05:20 - Pipeline Infrastructure & U.S. Gas Abundance07:26 - Strait of Hormuz & Geopolitical Stakes09:16 - U.S. Global Energy Role Post-WWII11:14 - Rare Earths & Mineral Security13:33 - Copper Shortage: “Copper in the Age of AI”15:21 - U.S. Permitting Crisis18:00 - Grid Strain & Nuclear Outlook20:33 - Solar & Wind Investment Timeline22:19 - Crypto and Industrial Power Demand23:46 - Ukraine War & NATO Shifts25:42 - Defense Spending vs. Energy Transition27:07 - Energy Transition: Reality vs. Aspirations29:15 - Looking Ahead
Today we were thrilled to welcome Premier Danielle Smith of Alberta. Premier Smith was elected in October 2022 and previously served as MLA for Highwood and as Leader of the Official Opposition in Alberta's Legislative Assembly. Most recently, she was President of the Alberta Enterprise Group. Before re-entering politics, Premier Smith spent several years as a talk radio host and has a diverse background spanning media, public policy, and business. As Premier, she has prioritized economic growth, energy development, and the defense of provincial jurisdiction. It was our honor to host the Premier for an insightful conversation on recent developments in Alberta and across Canada, the future of Canadian energy, and the evolving U.S.-Canada energy partnership. In our conversation, we explore Canada's historical energy policy challenges, including tensions between federal and provincial jurisdiction over natural resources, and Alberta's vast oil and gas endowment. Premier Smith discusses shifting federal attitudes and growing recognition that national energy policy needs rebalancing and also outlines Alberta's recent legislation aimed at streamlining energy project approvals and restoring international investment confidence. We discuss the need for durable, cross-party support to ensure long-term infrastructure investment, Alberta's experience with Keystone XL, the risks posed by sudden policy reversal, and the recent surge in proposals for AI datacenters in Alberta. Premier Smith shares her perspective on the two sides of Prime Minister Carney (the pragmatic banker versus the GFANZ advocate), the history and impact of international campaigns to defund Canada's oil sands, and Alberta's “all of the above” approach to energy abundance. We examine Canada's lagging economic growth relative to other developed countries, the hope for a shift back to a growth-oriented mindset toward energy development, and the potential for U.S.-Canada pipeline collaboration, particularly if projects are structured to reduce political risk by involving U.S. companies. We cover Canada's LNG development, including the first shipment from Kitimat and growing momentum in British Columbia, Nova Scotia, and Quebec, natural gas's long-term role as both a transition and destination fuel, the importance of integrating with the U.S. pipeline network, the need to resolve U.S.-Canada tariff disputes to unlock investment and advance cross-border energy partnerships, and more. As mentioned, the letter from Canadian energy CEOs to the Prime Minister, “Build Canada Now: An Urgent Plan to Strengthen Economic Sovereignty,” is linked here. Premier Smith's list of nine priorities for Alberta presented to the Prime Minister linked here. We greatly enjoyed the discussion and appreciate Premier Smith for joining. Mike Bradley kicked off the show with commentary on U.S. markets, noting that both bond and equity markets were being negatively impacted by the rise in the 30-year bond yield above 5%. Despite June CPI printing slightly below expectations, U.S. bond yields moved higher on Tuesday. He added that June PPI, set to be reported on Wednesday, could pave the way for a rate cut at the September FOMC meeting if it too prints below expectations. On the crude oil market front, WTI price has pulled back ~$2/bbl (to $66.50/bbl) this week. Oil traders were hopeful that President Trump would impose new sanctions on Russian oil (as high as 500%), but he instead proposed a 50-day wait period before imposing a 100% sanction increase. Turning to energy equities, he highlighted that SLB will kick off Oil Services Q2 reporting on Friday, with the other Big 3 OFS names and pressure pumpers reporting
NGI's managing editor of markets, Kevin Dobbs, interviews Pinebrook Energy Advisors' Andy Huenefeld, managing partner. They delve into supplies in storage, production, weather-driven demand and export activity – with a special focus on prices in the Midwest and East. The latest U.S. Energy Information storage report showed overall inventories were 6% above the five-year average, but surpluses in the Midwest and East were notably leaner after June heat waves in those regions. While the winter heating season is far off, natural gas storage is in a markedly different situation than last year. There are likely to be ample supplies stocked for next season, but with producers able to fast respond to cash market price signals and LNG feed gas demand bumping as export facilities ramp, Huenefeld details a dynamic season ahead.
As the UK accelerates its transition to a net-zero electricity system, the challenge of maintaining grid stability is growing. A key part of a balanced system is large-scale, long-duration flexibility: assets that can store energy when it's abundant and release it when it's needed most.But much of the capacity that can provide it already exists. One of the most mature and proven forms of energy storage - pumped hydro is able to deliver gigawatts of power in seconds, store energy for hours, and provide inertia and frequency response that batteries alone can't match. Despite being decades old, they remain some of the fastest, most reliable, and highest-capacity tools for balancing supply and demand. In a world aiming for net zero, understanding and upgrading these assets is no longer optional, it's essential.In this episode, Delphine Chérel-Sparham - Engie's Managing Director of Hydro UK joins Ed Porter to discuss how ENGIE is breathing new life into two of the UK's most iconic pumped storage assets: Dinorwig and Ffestiniog. Over the conversation, they discuss: Why pumped hydro remains unmatched for long-duration storage and grid inertia.How ENGIE is modernising vast underground infrastructure.The role of fast-responding, synchronous machines in providing inertia and flexibility to the grid.How repowering legacy assets creates headroom for more renewables on the system.Delphine's engineering journey and her advice for young people considering careers in energy infrastructure.About our guestDelphine is Managing Director of ENGIE's pumped hydro business, where she leads the strategy, operations, and refurbishment of some of Europe's most iconic energy infrastructure. With over 30 years' experience in the energy sector, Delphine has worked across gas, LNG, oil, and renewables. Today, she's focused on revitalising legacy pumped hydro assets like Dinorwig and Ffestiniog, to support the evolving needs of a flexible, decarbonised grid.About Modo EnergyModo Energy helps the owners, operators, builders, and financiers of battery energy storage solutions understand the market - and make the most out of their assets.All of our podcasts are available to watch or listen to on the Modo Energy site.

This week on the podcast, Jackie and Peter start by talking about Jackie's recent op-ed in the Globe and Mail, titled “Yes, absolutely – Canada needs more oil and gas pipelines to our coasts,” also available on the ARC Energy Research Institute website. Next, Peter and Jackie review the fundamentals of oil prices, the muted effect of the 12-day Iran-Israel war, and why oil prices have been creeping up despite weaker short-term fundamentals. Peter argues that the growing importance of “geoeconomics” - where countries use economic tools to influence foreign affairs - means that predicting oil prices will no longer be just about counting barrels. In the future, one of the most significant factors shaping oil markets will be the geoeconomic strategies of nations, including actions such as sanctions, tariffs, and withholding supply. Finally, Jackie and Peter discuss President Trump's recent letters to numerous countries threatening higher tariffs effective August 1st, including a letter to Canada with 35% tariffs on Canadian goods. Washington also introduced global copper tariffs. This is the last podcast before a break; the podcast will resume at the end of summer.

Pipelines boom, esp. in the previously quiet Northeast There's been a marked increase in the number of natural gas pipelines expected to be in service in the next several years. President Trump's policies explain some of this. But the commercial side is also enabling the boom. Jean Ann Salisbury addresses the various drivers and how these new pipelines could mean several hundred basis points of additional growth for some midstream companies. Interestingly, much of this development is taking place in the Northeast and increased access to gas could ultimately mean lower utility bills for commercial and residential customers. Jean Ann discusses how LNG will also be a key end market for this gas, the risk of an LNG glut further out and what this could all mean for the price of the commodity.

Importing liquefied natural gas could potentially require one billion dollars in capital investment. Major energy companies Clarus, Contact Energy, Genesis Energy, Meridian Energy, and Mercury have commissioned two studies looking into the option. Data out last month shows New Zealand's domestic gas supply is reducing faster and sooner than previously forecast. Clarus chief executive Paul Goodeve says it would be expensive. He told Heather du Plessis-Allan that the most important thing is not what it costs, but the value it brings, and last winter we saw the cost of not having a stable fuel supply.

On June 13th, Israel launched attacks on several military and nuclear facilities in Iran, marking the beginning of a 12-day war between the two countries. The United States followed with targeted strikes on Iranian nuclear sites to prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear power and posing a threat to regional and global stability. China's involvement in the conflict was limited to condemning the Israeli and US use of military force and calling for de-escalation. Beijing offered only rhetorical support for Tehran. To discuss what the Israel-Iran war reveals about China's relationship with Iran, its evolving strategy in the Middle East, and the broader implications for US-China competition, we are joined by Yun Sun on the podcast today. Yun is a Senior Fellow, co-Director of the East Asia Program and Director of the China Program at the Stimson Center. Her recent piece in The Wire China entitled “How China Sees Iran's Future” offers provides a nuanced take on Beijing's calculus during and after the war.

Economy https://twitter.com/CynicalPublius/status/1938402609364082979 Europe's LNG Gamble Exposed By Middle East War The Israel-Iran conflict has driven up diesel, jet fuel, and gas prices. With 20% of global LNG flowing through the Strait of Hormuz, even threats of disruption have raised EU gas prices by 20%. Europe's refusal to sign long-term LNG deals or develop local hydrocarbon resources is backfiring. Oil and the security of its supply have stolen the media spotlight in the context of the new Middle East war, and with good reason. Ever since Israel first bombed Iran, diesel prices have soared, jet fuel prices have soared, and importers have been troubled. For Europe, the situation is even worse due to natural gas. Europe has been hurt more than others by the diesel price surge because it has boosted its imports considerably over the past years. About 20% of the diesel Europe consumes comes from imports, and a lot of these imports come from the Middle East. The situation is not much different in jet fuel. Europe depends on imports and a solid chunk of these imports comes from the Middle East. What's true of these essential fuels is doubly true of natural gas—even though direct imports of gas from the Middle East constitute a modest 10% of total imports. Yet they constitute a substantial portion of global gas exports, so any suggestion of disrupted supply affects gas prices in exactly the same way it has affected oil prices—and makes a vital commodity less affordable for Europeans. Europe needs to refill its gas storage caverns for next winter. Even if it cancels the 90% refill rate requirement, it still needs to buy a lot of gas, most of it on the spot market because of that aversion to long-term gas commitments it believes is part and parcel of the transition effort. And geopolitics has made LNG costlier—which will add billions to the refill bill.

Sticky Services Inflation Core PCE (which excludes food and energy) is heavily weighted toward services, such as housing, healthcare, and financial services. Services inflation has proven persistent, especially in housing rent, insurance, and healthcare costs. 2. Labor Market Strength The job market remains tight: unemployment is low and wages are still rising. Higher wages boost consumer spending, which keeps demand elevated, especially in non-goods sectors like leisure,
