POLIS HATES OIL AND GAS AND IS INTENT ON DESTROYING THAT PART OF OUR ECONOMY And the Rocky Mountain Voice has been doing a series on just how much he hates it and just how much damage has been done to our industry here because of it. Rocky Mountain Voice editor Jen Schumann joins me at 1 to talk about the series of article, which you can find here, and here, and here. The damage is far worse that you might already think, and he does not care how much our power bills are because he's rich. Too bad the rest of us aren't. The long and short of it is that Polis has empowered ordered a few agencies to go after small oil and gas producers. It makes sense, as the bigger oil and gas companies would have already filed the federal lawsuit that one smaller provider is now pursuing. Put the little guys out of business and it's easier to deal with the big ones I guess. I'm very interested to see how this federal lawsuit pan out, but this is absolute abuse of government power and it's all being done at the behest of the Governor. I've got Rocky Mountain Voice Editor Jen Schumann on today to talk about it at 1.

I'M GLAD I TOOK LAST WEEK OFF And thanks to all of you who said a prayer or sent good energy or just thought kindly of me last week after my total hysterectomy.I will say I have had some serious brain fog because of the anaesthesia (which I've been told takes one week per hour you were under to fully get out of your system) but other than that and not being able to drive yet, I'm doing FANTASTIC.

Ed chats with Jason Walsh, Executive Director of the BlueGreen Alliance (BGA).Jason and his organization recently made headlines for opposing the so-called One Big Beautiful Bill Act—President Trump's sweeping piece of legislation passed this summer that rolls back many of the clean energy tax credits introduced by the Inflation Reduction Act. While a lot of the climate world focused on the emissions impacts, BGA came out swinging over what they saw as a quiet gutting of labour standards, domestic manufacturing momentum, and the link between public investment and good jobs.Jason and Ed discuss:How the bill reshapes the clean energy landscape Whether it really neuters domestic content rules Politics of climate and labour in an increasingly polarized U.S. And what political durability looks like for climate policy heading into 2026About Our Guest:Jason Walsh is the Executive Director of the BlueGreen Alliance (BGA).

On Thursday last week, the coalition government passed legislation to reverse the ban on oil and gas exploration — a ban which had been initiated by the previous government in 2018. Minister Shane Jones who drove the reversal, highlighted the impact of the ban on economic growth and energy supply in New Zealand. Opposition parties have voiced concerns about the impact of this decision for New Zealand's climate commitments. As well, yesterday Prime Minister Christopher Luxon and Education Minister Erica Stanford announced an overhaul of the NCEA system, to be replaced with qualifications that they say will be better to understand, and more aligned with international standards. Finally, as the United States places 15% tariffs on NZ exports, the Labour party have said the government needs to do more to strengthen our trade relationships to avoid a rise in the cost of living for kiwis. Host Sara spoke with National MP Carl Bates about all these topics. Sara started by asking him to explain the government's decision to reverse the ban on oil and gas exploration in New Zealand.

The International Court of Justice has delivered a landmark, albeit nonbinding ruling, that countries have a legal obligation to act on climate change. In this context, climate news in this past week has raised worry for climate advocates. The New Zealand government has passed legislation to reverse the 2018 ban on new oil and gas exploration projects, which is predicted to increase the country's emissions by 14.2 million tonnes according to official analysis.  As well, the United States are seeking to negate the finding that greenhouse gas emissions pose any danger to human health, with the aim to reduce the power of the Environmental Protection Agency to restrict activities that produce these emissions. Wire Host Sara spoke to Greenpeace executive director Russel Norman about these two cases and their potential consequences for global climate action.

Steve Gruber discusses news and headlines 

National and ACT campaigned on ending the oil and gas exploration ban, but it is New Zealand First - who were part of the government that put it in place - that has taken the lead. Labour's climate spokesperson Megan Woods spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

The opposition says the government's move to scrap the 2018 oil and gas ban shows it is more interested in doing the bidding of multinational companies than supporting ordinary New Zealanders. Resources Minister Shane Jones spoke to Corin Dann.

Oil companies can apply to begin searching for fossil fuels as early as September, now the government's repealed the 2018 ban on exploration. Political reporter Russell Palmer has more.

The Government crossed the final hurdle of overturning the oil and gas exploration ban as of today. The bill passed 68 votes to 54, with all coalition parties in support and the opposition parties opposed. Energy Resources Aotearoa CEO John Carnegie has voiced support for this change. "We've all felt the effect of an energy shortage over the last couple of years - in terms of the threat of electricity blackouts, factory closures and high prices, and actually, we don't need to stay on this path. This bill reflects a change of path." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Oil and gas exploration is once again allowed in New Zealand. Coalition parties voted to overturn the ban introduced by the previous Government to strong resistance from all opposition parties. Newstalk ZB political editor Jason Walls wonders what this means for investors - and if they'll want to commit to New Zealand. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The government is scrapping the oil and gas ban, and in a last-minute move, has handed cleanup cost decisions to ministers. Greenpeace Aotearoa Executive Director Russel Norman spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

If you want to talk about doing stuff that matters, this week will produce one of the great ones. Repealing the oil and gas ban, as the Government are about to do, puts right an egregious wrong – possibly the most egregious wrong of the last Government. What gives this current Government a better than even chance of a second term is the fact the damage done to the economy was done by the very same people who are still in Labour, still running Labour, and presumably will still argue for the same recipe of destruction next year. Megan Woods drove the oil and gas ban under the instruction of you-know-who. There was no warning, no consultation. Just a fateful announcement in Taranaki. It was idealism at its very worst. If we had all the windmills and solar panels and batteries in place it might have made more sense. But as we have seen and felt for the past handful of winters, we don't. Not even close. What has made it particularly galling is that Australia has doubled down on gas. It understands gas is the transition fuel, while the so-called renewable transformation takes place. Australia's gas industry is run out of Western Australia, which is run by a Labour Government, and fed to the rest of Australia, which is run by a Labour Government. And that, as I have said before, is what can make Labour palatable. A centrist Labour party is electable i.e. Albanese's version or Hawke's. The Ardern and Hipkins version look like a bunch of wonks who never met an economy they couldn't wreck. Now, the repeal won't solve everything overnight. Our reputation is so damaged that a lot of face time and explaining has had to be undertaken with potential investors, hence the Government's $200m stake in the game fund. If you ever wanted a living, breathing, tangible example of a Government that simply didn't get it, think back to your last couple of winters where the coal pile is a mile high, the rain may or may not have come, the gas reports keep getting worse, the spot price heads to the stratosphere and your power bill continues to head to the roof. That is Labour's energy policy. That is the Labour Government's idea of a fun winter. Getting that repealed is rectifying a shockingly shallow, ill-conceived idea and a monumental mistake.

The global upstream oil and gas sector is confronting a mounting crisis—access to capital. For over a decade, international producers, especially small- and mid-cap firms, have faced shrinking pools of funding as banks exit the space and public equity markets falter. Traditional sources of capital have dwindled, leaving many promising ventures stranded without the financial fuel they need to grow. As capital constraints tighten, the sector's self-depleting business model—where every produced barrel reduces tomorrow's inventory—becomes unsustainable. The result? A looming risk of supply shortfalls, price shocks, and widening energy inequity, especially in underdeveloped economies. With traditional financing off the table, how can energy producers bridge this capital chasm? In this episode, I sit down with Richard Naden, a seasoned executive and co-founder of Atlas Energy, to explore a breakthrough model inspired by royalty and streaming structures from mining and North American energy. Richard shares how Atlas provides not only innovative capital but also operational and technical expertise to its partners, creating an aligned and scalable funding approach. With a lean asset-light model, heavy on analytics and trust in data, Atlas aims to build a multi-billion dollar portfolio that could reshape how energy projects are financed around the world. 

Send me a messageMost climate policies focus on cutting emissions. But what if the real issue is what's being left off the table, fossil fuel production itself?In this week's episode of Climate Confident, I speak with Tzeporah Berman, Chair of the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative, about why global climate goals are doomed if we keep expanding fossil fuel supply while trying to cut demand.Tzeporah explains how the Paris Agreement never once mentions the words “oil,” “gas,” or “coal”, despite 86% of emissions coming directly from them. She lays out the case for a global treaty to phase out fossil fuel production, how countries like Colombia are already stepping up, and why we need a just transition framework that includes debt relief and international cooperation.We discuss:Why fossil fuel expansion continues despite climate pledgesThe $7 trillion in annual subsidies distorting energy marketsThe role of Global South nations and equity in the energy transitionHow “net zero” has been weaponised as a delay tacticAnd why renewables alone won't solve the crisis unless we stop digging the hole deeperThis is a frank look at what it really takes to deliver on climate targets, and why we can't keep ignoring the supply side of the problem.

David & Ed chat with renowned scientist, author and Canadian, Dr. Katharine Hayhoe who argues that hope—not doom—is what drives action. Dr. Hayhoe is one of the world's most prominent climate communicators and known for crossing political, religious, and cultural lines to connect with audiences that most climate advocates can't or won't reach. It's an engaging discussion that delves into the psychology of despair, the limits of data in changing minds and behaviour, and whether hope still has a fighting chance. Show Notes:Available on the episode page on our website.About Our Guest:Katharine Hayhoe is an atmospheric scientist whose research focuses on understanding what climate change means for people and the places where we live. She is the Chief Scientist for The Nature Conservancy and a Horn Distinguished Professor and Endowed Professor of Public Policy and Public Law in the Dept. of Political Science at Texas Tech University. She is the author of the book, Saving Us: A Climate Scientist's Case for Hope and Healing in a Divided World, has given a TED talk with over 4 million views, and hosted the PBS digital series Global Weirding. Katharine has been named one of TIME's 100 Most Influential People, Foreign Policy's 100 Leading Thinkers, and the United Nations Champion of the Environment.Produced by Amit Tandon & Bespoke PodcastsSend us a text (if you'd like a response, please include your email)___Energy vs Climate Podcastwww.energyvsclimate.com Contact us at info@energyvsclimate.com Bluesky | YouTube | LinkedIn | X/Twitter

SUMMARY: In this episode, Aaron and Terryn dive into the fascinating world of oil and gas operations with special guest Greg Thomas, President of Delta Oil and Gas. Broadcasting from Fort Worth, Texas. Greg shares his journey from geology and finance to leading a thriving company with field offices in Breckenridge, Texas, and a geologic office in Boulder, Colorado. With a unique perspective on operational excellence, Greg reveals how his team has achieved remarkable 98% efficiency through the implementation of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), transforming the company over the past five years.   The conversation explores the universal truths of operations across industries, emphasizing the critical role of people in driving success. Greg discusses his approach to retaining talent by fostering loyalty through innovative incentives, such as allowing technical team members to invest in projects, aligning their success with the company's growth. Also discussed is the importance of institutional knowledge, the value of long-term employees, and strategies for keeping retirees engaged through consulting roles. Along the way, they touch on the challenges of managing visionary expectations, the pitfalls of micromanagement, and the delicate balance of performance-based pay structures.     Minute by Minute: 0:00 Introduction 2:26 Let's meet Greg Thomas 5:29 Layoffs during the rise and fall of oil prices? 8:09 Managing people and projects is the same  14:25 Performance pay structure based on KPIs 18:51 How can we all win 20:13 My team all wants to stay

In February this year BP announced it was cutting its investment in green energy ventures from $5B to $2B while reallocating $10B to fossil fuels, and abandoning its 2030 oil output reduction target. Shell has also scrapped its planned 20% carbon reduction cut for 2030. It's not a good display of intent from the perspective of the energy transition. In a highly volatile and uncertain policy environment it's troubling for investors and clean energy developers. The prioritisation of short-term profit at the expense of long-term climate impact has many implications.To find out, host Sylvia Leyva Martinez is joined by private investor Ben Dell, Managing Partner at Kimmeridge. He says that while “everyone wants low-cost energy on demand with a minimal carbon footprint, every dollar invested has to be cost-competitive. Philanthropy is not an investing strategy.” What does that mean in the context of clean energy deployment?Plus, Wood Mac analyst Tom Ellacott joins the show to look at the outlook for oil and gas in light of the news from the majors. As he sees it, gas is a growth fuel for the next 20 - 30 years and the most optimal power delivery system is still renewables paired with small-scale batteries and natural gas. So why are major energy providers flip-flopping with their strategies when this is widely accepted?The key questions are: how are oil and gas majors adjusting their capital allocation between fossil fuels and renewables? What's the role of natural gas in the transition? And how should investors navigate volatility and uncertainty in energy markets? You'll get the answers here.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Houston, long seen as the beating heart of the U.S. oil industry, is now grappling with a commercial real estate crisis. Office vacancies have surged to nearly 28%, driven by massive energy sector consolidation and changing workplace dynamics. Despite Trump's calls to ramp up drilling, oil companies are becoming leaner, shedding jobs—and office space—in the process. This script explores how a wave of corporate mergers, surging insurance costs, outdated buildings, and Houston's sprawling development model are leaving once-prized office towers empty. Investors, take note: Houston's energy-fueled boom may be shifting to a more space-efficient era. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The oil market is once again bracing for change, with OPEC signaling their interest in unlocking supply that has been withheld. For producers, this looming oversupply translates into a fresh imperative: cut costs. The oil and gas sector, long accustomed to volatility, must now sharpen its cost control strategies in the face of intensifying pressure on margins.  Matthew Hatami, a professional engineer, entrepreneur, and author, joins me on this episode to discuss the tools and tactics operators can use to improve free cash flow. With experience spanning Halliburton, Hess, Chesapeake, and private equity ventures, Matthew shares how data and digital technologies can identify, prevent, and mitigate costly inefficiencies—without big budgets or sweeping tech overhauls. Drawing from his new book, Shale Oil and Gas Operations: Maximize Cashflow with Cost Reduction, Matthew shares three practical, high-impact digital strategies: build operational algorithms to flag issues before they arise, embed probability-based decision-making into drilling management, and implement daily visual reporting using nothing more than a smartphone. Each tactic is aimed at boosting productivity, engaging teams, and staying competitive in an increasingly lean industry.

Today on The Green Insider, Mike Nemer and Maxine Aikenhead explored the challenges and opportunities in the oil and gas industry regarding data sharing and emissions tracking, emphasizing the role of AI and digitization in improving operations The post The Role of AI and Digitization in Improving Oil and Gas Operations appeared first on eRENEWABLE.
