In this episode of the Energy Newsbeat Daily Standup - Weekly Recap, Stuart Turle and Michael Tanner break down why “location, location, location” is driving the resilience—and risks—of U.S. drilling programs as breakeven costs diverge sharply across basins. They unpack rising natural gas prices amid LNG export demand, Germany's shaky energy outlook, and a wave of renewable sector troubles from Pine Gate Renewables' bankruptcy to Ørsted's massive losses. The hosts also highlight coal's global comeback, the long-term implications of U.S. turbine shortages, and Chevron's move into behind-the-meter Permian power for AI data centers. Plus, they take aim at COP30 drama and Gavin Newsom's energy commentary, contrasting political narratives with real-world demand for molecules—not slogans.Subscribe to Our Substack For Daily Insights Want to Add Oil & Gas To Your Portfolio?

In this episode of the Energy Newsbeat Daily Standup - Weekly Recap, Stuart Turley and Michael Tanner discussed Governor Gavin Newsom's controversial new bill allowing California utility companies—such as Southern California Edison—to tap into the state's $21 billion Wildfire Fund, half of which is funded by taxpayers. The legislation permits utilities to use the fund to cover wildfire-related expenses and even fines from their own negligence. Turley blasted the move as a “corruption-laden bailout,” arguing it protects utilities at the expense of taxpayers, while comparing it to California's manipulation of federal health funds. Both hosts warned that under Newsom's leadership, California has become a growing national security risk. Subscribe to Our Substack For Daily Insights Want to Add Oil & Gas To Your Portfolio?

A must-listen for those tracking the energy-tech frontier.Check out everything on Liberty Energy on their website: https://libertyenergy.com/Follow Ron on his LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ron-gusek-3b27232/I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation, and as an investor in the energy sector, I look for how management works and the corporate culture. We covered a cool story about me running into several trucks of Liberty employees in Shreveport while checking into a hotel. They were great people, and the trucks were spotless; they were all employees that I would hire in a heartbeat. Michael Tanner and I have always said on our podcasts that, while evaluating oil and gas deals and companies, "Good Management gets Good Numbers." I loved the part of Liberty Energy's future that focused on the energy and electrification section of the business. That has a flat financial base compared to the cyclical nature of the oil and gas markets. This is precisely why I like the leadership, as they are playing the long, financially sound game. Thank you, Ron, for your time and leadership in our industry. - Stu. I look forward to more follow-ups on the great things happening at Liberty Energy.
