In this episode of Energy Newsbeat – Conversations in Energy, Stuart Turley discusses key topics with Steve Reese, CEO of Reese Energy Consulting, and Karr Ingham from the Texas Alliance of Energy Producers. They explore the role of Texas in the energy sector, focusing on natural gas and oil production, the state's influence on energy markets, and the challenges posed by legislation and regulation. The conversation highlights the economic significance of oil and gas in Texas, the state's approach to balancing renewable energy, and the global demand for U.S. LNG. The trio also discusses the ongoing legislative session and the future of energy in the U.S., emphasizing the importance of free-market solutions.This was a huge conversation about the Texas oil and gas markets and it's impact on the global energy market. Texas is impacting the world.Natural gas is not a bridge fuel; it is part of the change in molecule demand. Electricity demand is growing, and how it is generated matters. The EIA has stated that the US has continually lowered its emissions, and the largest reduction was closing coal plants and increasing to natural gas.We are seeing this same global trend in shipping and long-haul trucking. Let's save the environment, while being fiscally responsible is a vast topic.Please reach out to Steve Reese on his LinkedIn here:https://www.linkedin.com/in/steve-reese-185a86/Reese Energy Consulting Website: https://reeseenergyconsulting.com/Please reach out to Karr Ingham on his LinkedIn here:https://www.linkedin.com/in/karr-ingham-9b62333a/Check out the Texas Alliance of Energy Producers site here: https://www.texasalliance.org/Follow the Texas Alliance of Energy Producers on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/company/texas-alliance-of-energy-producers/posts/?feedView=allThank you, Steve, for your energy, leadership, and sponsoring the Energy News Beat Daily show. - StuKarr, it was an absolute thrill to spend some time with you, and I am really looking forward to our next visit about all of the great things you are doing for Texas and the energy producers. - StuHighlights of the Podcast 00:00 - Intro00:34 - Steve Reese Introduction01:04 - Karr Ingham Introduction02:52 - Texas Legislative Session Impact05:00 - Texas Oil & Gas Economic Impact07:50 - Texas Energy Mix: Gas, Coal, Wind, Solar08:39 - LNG Exports & Economic Impact09:43 - Renewable Energy Failures in Spain/Portugal10:36 - Natural Gas as a Solution16:06 - Need for Natural Gas20:33 - Texas Election Trends27:11 - Texas LNG & Oil Exports32:06 - Permian Basin's Energy Role39:27 - UK's Windfall Tax on Energy Companies42:31 - Future of Texas Energy47:48 - Contact Information of Karr Ingham48:20 - Reese Energy Consulting Website

Dr. Can (John) Saygin says when he gets together with UT-Rio Grande Valley President Guy Bailey, the discussions are often about ways the university can create visible societal impact.   Dr. Saygin is senior vice president for research and dean of the graduate college at UTRGV. “So, any any topic I bring up with him, we always get to the point and say, when are we going to see this impact in the community?” Saygin said, in an exclusive interview with the Rio Grande Guardian International News Service. Saygin said he had visible societal impact on his mind when he recently met with the South Texas Alliance of Cities. “Meeting with the mayors, it's almost like starting with the end in mind. You can paint the picture with them and say, if we have the land, if we have this, if we have the economic development corporation working with us, we could build this infrastructure,” Saygin said. “And then, when you go backwards, and you put in the layers of technology, people, and workforce development training. Then the whole formula looks very exciting.” The South Texas Alliance of Cities comprises mayors from most of the big cities in the Valley, plus those from San Antonio and Laredo. The group met recently at UTRGV's School of Medicine and invited Dr. Saygin to make a presentation. Saygin said he took the opportunity to tell the mayors about UTRGV's plans to become a leading research university. “When I think about the research topics from genome research to cancer research, smart technologies for safer railways, sustainable agriculture, mental health initiatives, clinical research, well, these are pretty high-level research topics and UTRGV is there,” Saygin said. "I tell everybody, we have R1 faculty, just the institution needs to reach the status of R1. So, explaining this to the mayors, they were very excited.” Saygin lived in San Antonio for 16 years when he worked for UT-San Antonio. He therefore knows San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg quite well. “So, we talked about UTSA's success story how it changed the city. But the formula is a little bit different for South Texas. It's not just the verbal partnership, yeah, let's go ahead and do it with mayors, school districts, economic development corporations. We can go after big, large brands, and actually put words into actions and that's what I told them. And, actually, it was very timely because we are going after an Environmental Protection Agency grant proposal.” Saygin said the EPA grant would involve technology and have an impact on the community. “In order to make that impact, we need 100 percent the mayors' buy-in. They have to support it. If they don't support it, our research is going to come to a dead end. So, they are true partners for us.” Saygin said his presentation was well received by the mayors. “We talked about what's next, what can we do. So, I pretty much talked about reaching out to their offices for letters of support. But not just letters of support, letters of commitment, which is the highest level of partnership,” Saygin said. “And then we talked about involving the economic development corporations into our workforce development programs. They're already part of it but we need more expanded coverage when we do these things. So, they were very excited.”  Here is the full interview with Dr. Saygin.To read the new stories and watch the news videos of the Rio Grande Guardian International News Service go to www.riograndeguardian.com.

on't look now, but oil prices are surging again, and experts fear it's about to get worse. The price of crude oil reached over $93 a barrel in recent days, the highest of the year and up more than 34% since March. This as the Biden administration just released a new offshore leasing plan with the fewest leases in history, just three in the Gulf of Mexico. At the same time, the administration has depleted our Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) to a 40-year low, with surging oil prices making it more difficult to replenish. With all of these factors at play, some oil industry leaders are predicting the price of crude will soon pass $100 a barrel and could reach $150. Karr Ingham, petroleum economist with the Texas Alliance of Energy Producers, agrees that is a possibility. "Right now, global demand is soaring because of growth, and meeting that growth largely means petroleum energy, as that still powers 80 percent-plus of what goes on in the world today," he says. "If you have growing demand, but not an appetite for increasing production to meet that demand, that's just a recipe for higher prices."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Plan B One-Step prevents pregnancy by acting on ovulation, which occurs well before implantation. Evidence does not support that the drug affects implantation or maintenance of a pregnancy after implantation, therefore it does not terminate a pregnancy." 2nd Hour Guest Seg. - Rand Paul's Annual ‘Festivus' Report: $482,276,543,907 in Government Waste $2.3 million used by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for an experiment involving injecting puppies with cocaine $3 million for the construction of a Gandhi museum Department of Defense (DOD) spent roughly $28 million on forest Joe Social Media IG: @TheCatholicHack Twitter: @Catholic_Hack Facebook: Joe McClane YouTube: Joe McClane Rudy Social Media IG: @ydursolrac Youtube: Glad Trad Podcast Adrian Social Media IG: @ffonze Twitter: @AdrianFonze Facebook: Adrian Fonseca YouTube: Adrian Fonseca YouTube: Catholic Conversations Visit our website to learn more about us, find a local GRN radio station, a schedule of our programming and so much more. http://grnonline.com/
