"Tariffs are having a significant impact on global economies and the energy transition," notes Tucker Perkins. He discusses the Trump tariffs and the global energy market. He highlights that "tariffs will redirect the flow of energy, but the greatest impact will be on shipping."======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

I miss my gas stove. I used to have one in a home I first lived in after moving to Massachusetts. There was something about the click-click-click and then the spark of the flame. Being able to see it and adjust it accordingly based on how much heat I wanted to generate for whatever I was cooking. It felt magically.Come to think about it, my love for a gas stove may extend back to watching my parents light cigarettes from the flame. I would guess it is a lot harder to light a smoke off an electric stove.  To this day, second-hand smoke makes me think of my childhood.But I never really gave much thought to how my home is powered. I was pretty shocked when I moved to Boston that I had an oil tank in my basement. Didn't know that was a thing. Beyond that, I was pretty ambivalent about what provided heat and warming (and flame) to my house, as long as it worked.That's why I was so intrigued to talk with Tucker Perkins, who is my guest today on Experience by Design. Tucker is the President and CEO of the Propane Education and Research Council. I didn't know we even had a Propane Education and Research Council, but it turns out we do. As their website states, “PERC was authorized by the U.S. Congress with the passage of the Propane Education and Research Act (PERA), signed into law on Oct. 11, 1996.” Also, “The Propane Education & Research Council is a nonprofit that provides leading propane safety and training programs and invests in research and development of new propane-powered technologies.”In the energy space, it also turns out that propane is the little kid on the block, and we love an underdog at Experience by Design. But like with everything on the podcast, this story is about more than propane. We dig into the larger systems perspective when it comes to energy, safety, and sustainability. We talk about how fire has a primal appeal, and how appliances are products that create pleasure. And we talk about how education is vital to behavioral change and getting people to buy into a new idea and system. Ultimately, we need to be fostering critical thinking, coupled with effectively communicating research and knowledge, to get people to make changes in their lives.Propane Education and Research Council https://propane.comTucker Perkins https://www.linkedin.com/in/tucker-perkins-8972a510/ Gary David YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@garydavid9535

Tucker Perkins looks at what could break crude oil prices out of their current range. “Not many people are talking about it higher than $80,” he says. He thinks “dirtier fuels” like crude will continue to fall out of favor, while domestic natural gas and clean energy will rise, though he says tariffs would have a huge impact on solar companies. ======== Schwab Network ======== Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Welcome to the Energy News Beat podcast. My name is Stu Turley president and CEO of the Sandstone Group. I used to be a game show host at one time, but I'm here at the Permian Basin International Oil and Gas Show and I'm here at the Air Compressor Solutions booth. It is just crazy. You can see the old truck back here behind me. And I'll tell you what, this podcast, probably one of the most important that we've talked about in a long time. I've got an old friend here, and I'll tell you what, Cyrus Brooks over at RABC and I mean his dad, I get to interview him tomorrow and they are a international natural gas evaluation and they've got software for long term contracts and everything else. And I've just really enjoyed being able to get in me. Cyrus. [00:00:54]Cyrus, welcome from Africa. How are things there? [2.6s]Cyrus Brooks [00:00:57] Oh, they're very definitely heating up, I guess you could say. Yeah. You know, here it is, the springtime heading into the summer. So. But yeah, it's it's really actually, it's really nice and windy in Cape Town, South Africa.Stuart Turley [00:01:14] You're in Cape Town?Cyrus Brooks [00:01:15] Yes, I'm in Cape Town, which is in the south east. It's actually still on the Atlantic, but not far from where the Indian Ocean meets the Atlantic, right near the bottom of the world.Stuart Turley [00:01:28] Is it now? How long was the flight out there, Cyrus?Cyrus Brooks [00:01:33] Oh, you know, I went from Houston to Atlanta and on to Cape Town. That was 18 hours. So with one and a half hours stopover. So it was quite something.Stuart Turley [00:01:43] Oh, my goodness. [00:01:44]Now, why are you there, Cyrus? [1.2s]Cyrus Brooks [00:01:46] Well, this week is Africa Energy Week. And, you know, their their tagline and our motto here is to make energy poverty history, which really goes right into, you know, the basic purpose of all energy companies is to supply energy. You know, no matter how much money people want to make and all of those things that people think are the real purpose, but actually we really want to supply. I mean, that's our goal, is to supply that energy that people are going to use know. And we know as long as we do that, we still have a great future supplying that energy. So what the difference is, is that if half of Africa gets one out of every two, people don't have electricity like they do electricity.Stuart Turley [00:02:38] And 1.Cyrus Brooks [00:02:39] To 2 people do not have electricity access to it. Like.Stuart Turley [00:02:45] You know, Cyrus, you and I have talked about this and this is heading up where my passion is. Everybody needs to be delivered the lowest kilowatt per hour to all citizens of the planet and allow them to eliminate poverty by low cost, sustainable energy. Now, Cyrus, you and I have also talked about using local natural resources to reduce the impact on the environment. [00:03:12]Tell me what's going on and what's the temperature there with everybody, all the leaders that are there? [4.3s]Cyrus Brooks [00:03:17] Well, it's really interesting to hear people from Europe and then hear people from Africa. And there's just a, you know, a bit of a chasm between the two in some in some aspects. And, you know, African leaders are saying very specifically that, you know, the resources of Africa should benefit Africans. I mean, Africa has natural gas. Africa has oil, a lot of oil. Africa, you know, could easily do 7 million barrels a day. Africa has you know, Africa has minerals. Africa is all it has. You know, minerals such as cobalt, which as we know is essential for EVs electric vehicles. And it has so much in the way of resources. And, you know, it's it's not just a you know, a supply store, but that's the message anyway. It's not this is not just a supply store for everybody else. You know, they have their own needs and they want, you know, if people come and they want to make use of their resources, well, they want to make sure that, you know, the way that contracts are and is that it benefits the people to develop their their resources, their economic development as well.Stuart Turley [00:04:52] You know, it seems like and from what I'm seeing from the international side of things, on the international. And that with the world, not the World Economic Forum at the World Bank, is [00:05:07]loaning money only for renewable projects. [2.9s] And we know that we're seeing a real problem with solar panels. After five years to ten years, they're having to be replaced and then they can't be recycled. And then you need a lot more money for the grid, and it's just a lot higher cost for electricity, for even wind or solar. So what are they saying about getting no money? Really? Access is money available for natural gas pipelines, for coal plants, for natural gas power plants in Africa.Cyrus Brooks [00:05:43] Yeah, that's a that's a very good question. So investment and foreign investment came up quite a bit at this conference. I'll tell you something interesting, just to my last point, if I go back to it, the president of Namibia, which is next, next to South Africa, and you know, it's the president there. He gave a speech and he said something very smart. He said that, you know, the benefits from African resources must benefit Africa. I mean, actually, that's really no different than than any local community, you know, saying that, hey, if you want to build something in my backyard, it should benefit me to me or the community, etc.. You know, whether it's a transmission or a natural gas pipeline or anything. Right. Right. So. So it's not even a big ask. But something else he said was really interesting. He said, we cannot allow and this goes to what you're saying about finance. We cannot allow climate change to be weaponized. Wow. Wow. What a line that is. That weapon.Stuart Turley [00:06:53] Cannot stop and.Cyrus Brooks [00:06:55] Allow climate.Stuart Turley [00:06:57] [00:06:57]Global climate change to be weaponized. [1.8s] Wow.Cyrus Brooks [00:07:00] I like that. So. So. Yeah. And the point is, you are right. They definitely there definitely has been a constraint on finance by, you know, the African Development Bank, the IMF or other banks, European Central Bank, like these kind of banks. They have, you know, these various commitments toward net zero and emissions and all this kind of thing. Right. So so there is that there. And you could say this, that African leaders are actually quite unhappy with this this kind of role. And I mean, there is if you consider, okay, let's take the view that CO2 is a pollutant. You know, let's just pretend for a moment if like it's like dumping paint right in the gutter. Okay. If you take that view that CO2 is a pollutant, just like dumping paint, right? You would go to that company and you would say, hey, you need to clean it up. Right. It's you do that. You have to clean it up. The evidence is right there. And I can see that paint, you know, flowing down the gutter. Go clean it up. Don't talk to me about, you know, and don't complain about my pollution if you if you're going to keep doing it. Now, that's the other thing, is that Africa has if you look at CO2 as a pollution, I mean, if you do, Africa has contributed something like 3% or 4.3%, Like it's really minuscule. It's nothing. So you have people, you know, who have basically developed their economies have been, quote unquote, polluting and they have been polluting. But if you say, oh, okay, let's say just they've been emitting CO2 for. Right. You know, for 150 years and then, you know, saying, you know, as a banker, I'm not going to lend it to you because it's going to add emission is a little bit unfair because, I mean, this is also it's like, hey, you know, you didn't you didn't have this, you know, I'm not going to lend it to you for other people. Did you? I mean, it's not like they weren't lending it to the West early on. And so I think it's pretty fair. There is they're kind of saying two things that are really interesting. You know, what is in the West, clean up their CO2 and, you know, and then that will also make room. That's one of the interesting comments. They said, you know, clean up 20% of the CO2 you put out there and that makes room for for Africa to develop. You know, that would be one thing. So, I mean, there the.Stuart Turley [00:09:45] Reports are I mean I'm sorry words me this you're that I'm sorry you know me well enough know that I'm getting excited about a couple of things you just said. So when we talk about China and the Western world, both. Developed worlds polluting so much. And if CO2 is taken as such, a pollution. What about China? China has announced that they are doing it. Over 300 coal plants are already permitted and in the pipeline for production. Unbelievable amount of gigawatts going on for coal. So why can China put all of this, Colin? [00:10:31]Why can Germany now start taking down windfarms so they can open back up a coal plant and then we're handicapping Africa and saying you have to go renewable energy, which has to have fossil fuels in order to work. Yeah. Are they talking about China? [22.3s]Cyrus Brooks [00:10:53] Question. Well, you know, it's definitely that. Yeah, actually, definitely all that was mentioned about the coal in China and and while frankly, to be honest, I don't blame China, you know, I mean, what can you say? Except they are trying. But this is a weird kind of thing. And when Alex Epstein, who who wrote the book in Our Fossil Future and the Moral Case for Fossil Fuels, Alex Epstein spoke yesterday. And oh, cool. Yeah, he said something quite interesting, which was I mean, he called this he called this very pointedly. He said, this is like environmental racism. I mean, this is really I love the idea. Yeah. Honestly, I mean, the idea that one group of people can, you know, basically make coal plant after coal plant after coal plant with practically no protest. I mean, honestly, if if if the world wanted to protest against it against China grain, they could, you know.Stuart Turley [00:12:01] They wouldn't get any money from the Belt and Road. So.Cyrus Brooks [00:12:05] Well, you know, but I mean people could stop buying things from there. They could. I mean, all sorts of things. They could they could commit sanctions, tariffs. I mean, there's all sorts of things that they could do, which they will not do, you know, because they are intertwined economic right. They are you know, they benefit from the relationship from China, though. So then why are they so willing, so unwilling to be righteous about China? Because it's it it really goes against their own interest. Right. And so therefore, it comes across that, you know, this this resistance towards fossil fuel use in Africa is actually, you know, borne out of a lot of self-interest.Stuart Turley [00:13:01] Well, I had the fortune of interviewing Alex Epstein twice on the podcast, and I really, really enjoyed his passion and not only interviewing him. Chris Wright from Liberty Oil. Liberty Frank has also been the humanitarians and quite honestly, they were my inspiration for trying to take this passion up for being a humanitarian, being energy agnostic, except let's do the lowest impact on the environment, and that means natural gas. And we know that COP 28 is coming around the corner and I'm hearing rumblings. I mean, we have M.D.s, you know, the Saudi prince going to be there. Cyrus And every there's 140 major world leaders going to be at 28. And they're now saying that oil, natural gas and nuclear are going to be the prince of the ball there in order to do that. And I'm where I'm going with this conversation is [00:14:09]how is the conversation at this energy conference in Africa with nuclear? Is nuclear coming up? And as natural gas coming up is really the bridge to prosperity? [13.2s]Cyrus Brooks [00:14:23] Yes, nice gas is coming up a lot. It's probably almost two thirds of the conference is really focused on natural gas. Nice. And, you know, there's a reason for that. The Africa has vast gas resources and potential and the world is also calling for Africa's gas for their own use. Right. So, plus, you know, gas has many more uses than just. More heating and gas fired power generation. You have fertilizer, you have fertilizer, you have you know, you can make hydrogen steam reformation. You can you know, you can do a lot of things. I mean, the basics of ethylene and plastics. I mean, there's so much you can do with that. You can make a compressed natural gas for cars as a cleaner fuel. I mean, and Africa does that, especially in Nigeria, Egypt.Stuart Turley [00:15:26] And propane and everything else.Cyrus Brooks [00:15:28] And propane. And and so LPG is part of this conference as well. And these things are scalable. You know, you can also have cleaner cooking, you know, and this kind of thing, I mean, there's a you know, it's it's as you said, I mean, there's nothing wrong inherently with, you know, solar power or wind power. But like anything, they have their own pros and cons and the peculiarity of electricity is that it's not easily storable, therefore it must be on demand. And as we saw in Texas on Friday with a full lunar eclipse, you saw the solar because the eclipse was in the middle of the day and you saw the solar dropped almost immediately to nothing. And it it just well, it dropped it as like a like a steep cliff.Stuart Turley [00:16:25] And the balancing authority on that side is the balancing authority for ERCOT. I'm sure they had to put the brakes on because they had to spin up natural gas or coal in order to be ready for that. And you just nailed it that, you know, the grid can have standby wind or standby. I just want to give a shout out to as I was coming through to my office in Abilene, the wind farm on the left side was there's just wind farm after wind farm after wind farm. And then over on the right hand side, there is one that has been abandoned. There is a wind farm right outside of Abilene, Texas, and the blades are falling off and they are having some serious problems. And not only is there serious problems with that, the farmers in Germany and farmers in the U.S. are now having to look at 25 year contracts and these wind companies are backing off their abandoned wells. And so now you may have a ranch with two or 300 wind farms sitting out there, and they cannot even use them as a ranch anymore. So that is something that we need to also, when you're talking to the African leaders, the presidents, the general and folks there, just like your company, is so good about forecasting pricing for natural gas on the global market, we need to take a look at wind farms and then absolutely go away at the end of 25 years. Who's going to haul this crap out? And I mean, this is terrible for not only Africa, for Europe, the United States, and nobody's talking about this in Texas, by the way. I love me from Texas. They are really focusing and putting money for the abandoned orphan wells, because quite honestly, the oil and gas industry did not do a great job in the past. But over the last ten, 15 years, the great oil and gas companies have done a phenomenal job in ESG in getting things environmentally sound. Where's the renewable market on this? And I really want to hear while you're at that conference, if you can bring that up and try to ask some folks, [00:18:47]are there long term contracts for solar panels? Because Cyrus solar panels are piling up. We're shipping our solar panels that are no longer usable to other countries and they're toxic waste. How is that being discussed at these kind of conferences? [17.8s] Yes, it makes sense.Cyrus Brooks [00:19:07] Yeah. I only know that Africa doesn't want that kind of stuff at all. No, but I'll tell you something they are interested in. What's that? What they are interested in Creating a value chain. Creating more. So. Okay, so here's what you do, right? Right. If you have a process which has five steps, right? And the first step is, is raw material. If you sell the raw material at the at the first step, then you lose a lot of value at. Right. You lose a lot of value add. And you know, you only have the jobs that relate to the extraction. So you might have some jobs related to oil or gas extraction or mining, you know. Right. And which is.Stuart Turley [00:19:55] Child abuse in the case?Cyrus Brooks [00:19:58] Well, all. All the cases of of that. But the main point is, is that what Africans want is Africans actually want to add industry. So let's say, you know. You know, yeah. So let's say you take your, your minerals and you smelt them and you process them. Well, now you have two industries, right?Stuart Turley [00:20:18] Oh yeah.Cyrus Brooks [00:20:20] You see what I mean? And so now you're adding jobs and you're adding now you can you that the margin, you can sell that material for increases a lot.Stuart Turley [00:20:29] Absolutely. In jobs and.Cyrus Brooks [00:20:31] So.Stuart Turley [00:20:31] And prosperity.Cyrus Brooks [00:20:32] That's right. And so you start to create jobs you create and as you create industry, you also have more money, which also means you can afford more. And eventually, you know, this. This also means there is a market there for, you know, Europeans and Asians and Americans to sell to. Right. And not just, you know, the cheapest phones they can buy, the most expensive everything, because they have, you know, the standard of living that we have.Stuart Turley [00:21:00] So this all for years and and I've been thinking about this and what's wrong if you can go through and as you look at [00:21:09]getting more energy in solving that one out of two people in poverty, energy, poverty in Africa, what's wrong with looking at charging export money? [12.0s] I think the West should charge export fees so that we're paying a higher price for the natural resources out of Africa with that fund going back to Africa to build their infrastructure. That makes sense.Cyrus Brooks [00:21:40] Yes. And I think that that, you know, that's kind of what they're talking about is right during the agreements so that that it starts to build infrastructure nice And they definitely you know it's part of the conversation. So but it does go back to investment as well, you know and there's a lot of issues in in Africa or any any place where there is, you know, it's a developing economy. So administration, you know, even making these agreements even. Even experience and knowledge at the you know, at the levels at the ministerial levels. Right. They if they end up getting advisors and this came up in the conference, if they end up getting advisors who come from Europe and the US who's who have their own agenda right then, then they're going to start to make agreements towards, maybe they'll start to make agreements towards the, the Paris Accord or some, some purpose which the West has not, which is really Africa focused. So, I mean, you know, for example, if you take California and let's just make an example, you take a California and you go to some, you know, a depressed area like East L.A. or, you know, maybe Watts or South Central, you know, down on Skid Row and all these kind of things. And you want to you're going to tell these guys, well, we're going to help your area and we need you. But whatever you do, we've got to make sure it's green. And, you know, they would just look at you like you're crazy. It's like like we have we have no money. We have lots of crime. We have you know, we have a we have, you know, very low literacy. I mean, we we have huge problems overcome. And you want us to to care whether or not we emit CO2. And so, you know, I mean, look, it's it's it's like it's not that it's we can't concern ourselves with climate change. We can't. But, you know, you know, when you when a guy is starving to death, you don't talk to him about CO2. You give him food. You know, I mean, this is this is what it's you know, so.Stuart Turley [00:23:58] It's not fair.Cyrus Brooks [00:23:59] It's not fair. And not only is it not fair, but really, you know, when you talk to somebody, you should really be asking them what they need. You know, should you should and you shouldn't be telling them what they need. You should you should be looking and listening.Stuart Turley [00:24:14] You know, I think one of the best things that came out of that thing were everything that we've talked about. Cyrus is phenomenal. And I couldn't be more happy that you're there helping your company and then helping out bring back the word. We got to spread the word on helping them out because selfishly, it will help out everybody else in the global market. And that's exactly what yes. RB does. You know, your company really does look at the global environment and the fiscal responsibility of elevating folks out. And I absolutely love the way that Alex Epstein phrased that, that it is energy, racism. By putting that out there that way that we're not allowing them freedom through fiscal restrictions. And so I'm excited about that. And tomorrow, you have hooked up with Dr. Ibram and he is the general director of AP. Oh, and I can't wait to visit with him.Cyrus Brooks [00:25:18] Yes, he's the this is the African Petroleum Producers Organization. So he's is really high level. And this guy is a firebrand talker. I mean, he's a really you know, he's a real strong advocate for Africa and for African knowledge and for the kids learning, you know, technology transfer. So and also developing African training so and training centers throughout Africa and also Pan African cooperation so all Africans can, you know, rise up and oh fantastic.Stuart Turley [00:25:57] I'll tell you, I am so excited about about this. And so, Cyrus, [00:26:02]how can everybody get a hold of you and your company? [2.1s] And we want to make sure that people can get a hold of you. What's the best way to get a hold of it?Cyrus Brooks [00:26:10] Yeah, I mean, go to grab a Seacom. So, you know, and that would be, I guess, where we where do we say we say Romeo. Bravo Alpha. Charlie.Stuart Turley [00:26:23] I think I order dot com. Yes, I think it's fabulous. And, and I want to give you a shout out. I didn't mean to cut you off, Cyrus, but you're one of the a great thought leader out there. Your whole team over there does a great job with articles, knowledge, and not only me, I a stalker of you guys in a nice way. I watch you. So I just want to think that you guys are a phenomenal resource for folks being industry thought leaders. So we got about two more minutes. [00:26:51]What is any last words or thoughts for you on this trip that you're doing in Africa? [5.3s]Cyrus Brooks [00:26:57] I would say that something really interesting has come, which is that natural gas is going to be a key to the future. You know, whether you call it a low carbon future or whatever you call it, it's a lot is going to be powered by natural gas. It is cleaner. It is going to make cities cleaner and is, you know, cooking more available electricity, more available to all the people of Earth and obviously help companies to make better energy decisions so that it actually benefits everybody in the long run.Stuart Turley [00:27:33] Isn't that great? Hey, one last question here before we close out. I was visiting with Tucker. He was over at the Propane Council for the United States, and he may be there, Tucker Perkins. And he's describing propane and compressed natural gas as the last mile. And in Africa, that would absolutely be a great way to get, as you mentioned earlier, people using it. So natural gas and then staging it out for the last mile. [00:28:08]It'd be kind of fun to hear what people's thoughts are in incorporating those kinds of contracts in there as well, because the infrastructure is a lot easier to put in for tanks and those kind of things as opposed to a pipeline. [12.2s]Cyrus Brooks [00:28:21] You can find that, you know, you scale it, you scale. They did this in Mexico, you scale it, right. You know, people have the connections in their house so that finally when the pipelines come, you can put them right in because the house, it's already there. You see, you know, it's a very good way to make a scalable micro economy, say, I mean, you'll get off on that one. But yeah, I agree with you. I'm totally with you on that.Stuart Turley [00:28:46] Sounds fantastic, Cyrus. Thank you. From Africa and I'm here in the Permian and shout out to our sponsors here with air Compressor Solutions. And hey, I look forward to visiting with you tomorrow. There's Irish.Cyrus Brooks [00:28:58] Sounds good. To see.

  Tucker Perkins is the president and chief executive officer of the Propane Education & Research Council (PERC), an organization authorized by the U.S. Congress with passage of the Propane Education and Research Act (PERA), Public Law 104-284, signed into law on October 11, 1996.   Tucker assumed the role of PERC president and CEO when Roy Willis retired July 31, 2017, having previously served as PERC's chief business development officer since 2012 and then as chief operating officer since December 2016.   He has worked in the propane industry for 26 years, having served as the director of business development for Inergy, chief executive officer of Premier Propane, and the chief operating officer of Columbia Propane, a unit of the Columbia Energy Group. Tucker is also the former chairman of a PERC advisory committee on engine fuel matters and is active with the National Propane Gas Association and the Virginia Propane Gas Association.    Show Highlights The most important topic in green buildings. Understanding how propane is such a different fuel and can support the demands of the industry as a fuel of the future. PERC in the Propane Education and Research Council and there are three roles they play in the industry. Solutions to address where the power gaps are and how to begin to fill them with a changing and fragile electric grid. Tucker shares innovations that will minimize our environmental footprint. Not all fossil fuels are equal. The high level difference between natural gas and propane and what is the best fuel for the environment, our health, and economy. Addressing the energy needs of a building and how to pivot to provide the best efficiency.  Where is propane needed most in infrastructure?   “We're really looking for the recipe that is the most efficient initial cost, the most efficient operating cost. But at the end of the day, it's still about minimizing our environmental footprint. It's a responsibility of all energy providers to rethink that equation. We've moved from wood to coal and coal to oil, and I would say oil to natural gas. And we're really moving from natural gas to renewable electricity, particularly in the built environment as fast as we can. And there isn't one solution. There's not one silver bullet. Renewable electricity is not the silver bullet because it'll take 40 years to build it out. And if we're not careful, we won't be able to afford the solutions nor will all the solutions be reliable. So propane [and renewable propane] will be part of the recipe.”  -Tucker Perkins  “I don't think all fossil fuels are equal. Certainly coal and oil and wood, I'd argue they're all fossil fuels. They're not nearly the same as natural gas and propane. I think those are low carbon fossil fuels and with this great combustion property. I think the last, particularly five years now have been really engaging in this conversation about what are the fuels of the future and what is good for the environment, what's good for our health, and frankly, what can we afford at the same time brings us warmth, hot food, hot showers bringing, bringing that whole conversation together.” -Tucker Perkins      Show Resource and Information Connect with Charlie Cichetti and GBES   GBES is excited our membership community is growing.

Potentially the most contentious interview that we've down to date we explore the role propane and natural gas plays in the transition to clean, renewable energy.As the CEO of the Propane Education & Research Council  Tucker Perkins has decades of experience across the energy sector and helps to put natural gas into context across the energy needs of our modern world.As we transition to renewable energy there is a segment of the energy mix where energy density is critical (think shipping and logistics) where solar, wind & storage battle to be viable so the critical question is what liquid fuels (that have the requisite energy density) and how are they created.We explore the differences in what gas is burned which then impacts the level of either CO2 and other greenhouse gases such as methane released. Beyond how it's used, how it is sourced is an even bigger lever. New approaches to liquid fuel creation, through the use of biofuels, provides the promise of CO2 free energy, that is accessible and affordable to bring the quality of life we are used to in the developed world in the developing worldhttps://propane.com/Shape the System is  an independent podcast with support from KPMG High Growth VenturesMore about KPMG High Growth VenturesScale up for success.

Key Takeaways: Beyond Electric Vehicles Tucker Perkins is the President and CEO of the Propane Education & Research Council (PERC). In the podcast interview, Tucker and Joe discuss beyond electric vehicles. There are many challenges facing the transportation and logistics industry regarding reducing greenhouse gas emissions and meeting sustainability goals. Propane is a cleaner, greener option that is often overlooked. There are many advantages to using propane in transportation and logistics including: Propane fuel has a lower carbon content than conventional gasoline and diesel fuel. When used as a vehicle fuel, propane can offer life cycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions benefits over conventional fuels, depending on vehicle type, age, and drive cycle. Propane exhaust is also colorless and almost odorless, making it ideal for locations where air quality is a concern. Diesel engines may be prohibited in certain areas due to their emissions. A propane engine is also quieter than diesel and gasoline engines. Propane is frequently used to replace gasoline in smaller off-road applications, such as forklifts and commercial lawn equipment, and it provides benefits like those achieved in on-road vehicles. The potential for lower maintenance costs is one reason behind propane's popularity for use in light- and medium-duty vehicles, such as trucks and taxis, and for heavy-duty vehicles, such as school buses. Propane vehicles have been widely used and refined for decades, and a propane vehicle's power, acceleration, and cruising speed are like those of conventionally fueled vehicles. The Propane Education & Research Council is a nonprofit that provides leading propane safety and training programs and invests in research and development of new propane-powered technologies. PERC is operated and funded by the propane industry. PERC programs benefit a variety of markets including transportation, agriculture, commercial landscaping, residential, and commercial building.

In this episode of Flanigan's Eco-Logic, Ted speaks with Tucker Perkins, President and CEO of the Propane Education & Research Council.Tucker unpacks propane, from its sources to its many applications and environmental attributes. He explains its widespread use in over 6 million American homes for heating; it's not just for barbeques, Zambonis and forklifts! In fact, "Autogas," as it is called abroad, is used worldwide in cars and buses and trucks. The U.S. alone has 15 billion gallons a year of excess propane, also known as liquid petroleum gas, which is exported. Unlike natural gas, and its pipelines and distribution system that leaks the highly potent greenhouse gas, methane, propane has no methane, burns clean, and thus we learn, is a preferred fuel in many applications.

I'm no fan of the hype train and misdirection foisted upon us by much of the traditional fossil fuel industry. So, when I met Tucker Perkins, president and CEO of the Propane Education and Research Council (PERC), I was happy to “entertain” a phone call to hear why he believes renewable propane can be dubbed a clean and sustainable energy source. Truthfully, I had zero intention of ever having him on the show. But after a delightful 30 minute jousting match over zoom, I was convinced that there was more to his narrative than meets the eye, and that it'd make a fun and entertaining (at the very least) episode for the SunCast faithful. And, I actually learned quite alot!As Tucker explains, renewable propane — sometimes called biopropane, bioLPG, eco-propane and rLPG — is a drop-in replacement for traditional propane produced from petroleum refining. Rather than oil or natural gas, the sources of renewable propane include biomass, biogas, municipal solid waste and even corn or sugarcane. In today's eye-opening Tactical Tuesday, Tucker shares his vision of the potential of renewable propane and Nico challenges him on its role in the future of green energy. Tucker believes "safe, reliable and economical" renewable propane is part of the solution for an energy-efficient future. Will you agree? Or do you believe it's just part of the massive greenwashing happening right now across the fossil fuel industry to convince consumers that “it's not that bad” and “there are ‘clean-er' options to how we've been doing this.”? PERC, operated and funded by the propane industry, views renewable propane as a viable energy source for powering homes, businesses, and vehicles due to its high energy density, clean burning characteristics, and cost-effectiveness. This episode takes me out of my comfort zone, as I reach across the aisle to explore renewable propane as an alternative to synthetic or fossil fuels like natural gas, oil, or gasoline. One key question I come away with “Is renewable propane, as it's generally called in the United States, the best term for this fuel?”Tucker and I discuss this in depth and I admire Tucker's willingness to engage. Please tune in to learn more about an alternative fuel that can potentially help us power our world, sustain our quality of life, and promote the justice and equity we seek.If you want to connect with today's guest, you'll find links to his contact info in the show notes on the blog.SunCast is presented by Sungrow, the world's most bankable inverter brand.You can learn more about all the sponsors who help make this show free for you, here: www.mysuncast.com/sponsorsRemember you can always find the resources and learn more about today's guest, recommendations, book links, and more than 555 other founder stories and startup advice at www.mysuncast.com.You can connect with me, Nico Johnson, on Twitter, LinkedIn or email.

Tucker Perkins is the President and CEO of the Propane Education & Research Council, and he stopped by the ENB podcast. We had an absolute blast, and I learned a few things about propane and what part it can play in the path to carbon neutrality. "Europe is responding to really a lack of energy independence. Right. I told you five years ago that Europe's reliance on Russian natural gas was going to be problematic at some point in time. There's no way to envision ultimately what happened. But here we sit in the United States, we are the world's largest producer of propane by far. We're also the world's largest consumer. "But, you know, Central America, South America, most of Asia, certainly a large part of China, much of Europe come to rely on our propane as well. Yet what people don't realize when you really think about a full cycle, is what it takes to find it, transport it, use it, and dispose of what's leftover. Propane is one of the lowest. environmentally impacting energy source available." - TuckerThanks, Tucker, and look forward to visiting with you soon - Stu Please follow Tucker on his LinkedIn and I encourage you to see what the Propane Education & Research Council has on its plate regarding energy.
