  1. The Oil and Gas Global Markets Update with Jack Prandelli, The Merchants News Substack.

    8H AGO

    The Oil and Gas Global Markets Update with Jack Prandelli, The Merchants News Substack.

    Jack Prandelli of The Merchants News Substack stopped by, and we had a blast visiting about huge changes in the oil and gas markets. At the end of the podcast, we also discuss how we should restructure electricity prices for consumers. 1. China's efforts to reduce its reliance on the US dollar:   - China is shorting US Treasuries and buying gold to try to reduce its dependence on the US dollar in global trade, especially for commodities like oil.   - However, China still relies heavily on importing oil and gas, which is priced in US dollars through the petrodollar system. 2. The growth of US LNG exports to Europe:   - The US is rapidly expanding its LNG export capacity, which is helping Europe replace Russian gas.   - A key company, OneOk, owns a large portion of the pipeline infrastructure market supporting US LNG exports. 3. The performance and strategies of major oil and gas companies:   - Integrated companies like Exxon and Chevron are performing better than more specialized companies like Occidental.   - European oil majors like BP and Total are struggling more, with BP considering asset sales. 4. OPEC's challenges in managing oil production and pricing:   - OPEC has struggled to meet its own production targets, leading it to consider changes to its pricing mechanisms.   - There are geopolitical tensions, like the US trying to influence OPEC members like Venezuela and Iran. 5. The role of natural gas, renewables, and nuclear power in the energy transition:   - The guests discuss the pros and cons of different energy sources, arguing for a balanced approach that ensures reliable and affordable energy.   - There are concerns about the ability of renewables alone to provide reliable power without fossil fuel or nuclear backup. Stu and Jack cover a wide range of topics related to the global energy markets, geopolitics, and the energy transition, with a focus on oil, gas, and LNG. Based on the transcript analysis, here are the main topics discussed: **1. China's De-Dollarization Strategy** China is actively working to reduce its dependence on the US dollar by shorting US Treasuries and accumulating gold. However, this effort faces a fundamental constraint: China's massive need for imported oil and gas, which are priced in US dollars through the petrodollar system, keeps it tethered to dollar-denominated trade. **2. US LNG Export Expansion** The US is rapidly scaling up its liquefied natural gas (LNG) export capacity, playing a crucial role in helping Europe transition away from Russian gas supplies. One Oak, a significant player, controls a large portion of the pipeline infrastructure that supports these exports. **3. Oil and Gas Company Performance** The discussion compares how different energy companies are faring: - Integrated majors like Exxon and Chevron are outperforming more specialized companies like Occidental - European oil majors (BP, Total) are struggling more significantly, with some considering asset sales **4. OPEC Production and Pricing Challenges** OPEC faces difficulties meeting its own production targets and is considering adjustments to its pricing mechanisms. Geopolitical tensions also play a role, with the US attempting to influence OPEC members like Venezuela and Iran. **5. Energy Transition and Power Sources** We debate the role of natural gas, renewables, and nuclear power in the energy transition, emphasizing the need for a balanced approach that maintains reliable and affordable energy while questioning whether renewables alone can provide consistent power without fossil fuel or nuclear backup.

    What is the Real Cost of Wind Energy? Energy News Beat Stand-Up

    In this Super Bowl Sunday edition of the Energy News Beat Stand Up, we cover Wind and key oil and gas updates. With the Strait of Hormuz having threats of more tankers being seized, which is escalating short-term oil prices, we cover some hard, cold facts about wind. Let's push nationally to level the playing field for Wind and Solar by including their costs in projects, storage, and the additional maintenance that the spinning up and down of gas turbines pass on to consumers. With no subsidies for the wind, solar, and storage technology is supposed to be cheaper, let's install all of them. But let's include land reclamation, recycling, and grid resilience without subsidies, and see how many wind and solar farms get installed. The main topics discussed in this Energy News Beat Stand Up are: 1. The high costs and challenges associated with wind energy, including the need to frequently replace wind turbines, the lack of profitability, and the issues with recycling and disposing of old turbine blades. Michael Tanner and Stu Turley discuss how wind energy is not as cost-effective or environmentally friendly as it is often portrayed. They highlight examples like a wind farm in Texas that is replacing 100 turbines after only 5 years, and the toxic waste problems caused by abandoned and discarded turbine blades. 2. The advantages of traditional energy sources like natural gas and coal over renewable energy for grid reliability and resilience, especially in cold weather climates. The hosts argue that energy sources like natural gas and coal are better able to withstand extreme weather conditions compared to wind and solar, which can experience significant output drops during freezing temperatures. 3. The financial and regulatory challenges facing the renewable energy industry, particularly in states like New York that have set ambitious clean energy targets. The transcript discusses how the costs of implementing renewable energy are much higher than expected, leading to financial issues and a reliance on fossil fuels that contradicts the stated environmental goals. 4. The global expansion and technical expertise of U.S. oil and gas companies, and how they are leveraging this to gain a competitive advantage internationally. The discussion touches on how U.S. oil majors like Chevron and ExxonMobil are using their technical capabilities to grow their business overseas, in contrast to European oil companies that have shifted more towards renewable energy. We also cover Liberty Energy's different view of being an oilfield service company. 1.100 Wind Turbines Get an Upgrade in Texas, but at What Cost? 2.Texas Sues Wind Turbine Recycler Over 3,000 Blades Dumped In Sweetwater 3.Wind Costs Hitting New York’s Utopian Green-Energy Party Where It Hurts 4.Finland Wind Turbine Blades Freeze, Curbing Green Power Output.

  7. Overreliance on Renewables Leaves Americans Out in the Cold, and Paying More for Electricity

    FEB 5

    Overreliance on Renewables Leaves Americans Out in the Cold, and Paying More for Electricity

    This series of storms highlights the need to rethink how electricity is priced for consumers in the United States. Wind and solar receive subsidies, have no end-of-life funds, and incur no grid-resilience costs when they can't generate. The current pricing model also does not include grid resiliency costs and the additional maintenance required for natural gas turbines to spin up and down during wind and solar generation. The additional maintenance costs are just passed on to consumers, who don't realize they are caused by wind and solar installations. The main topics discussed in this Energy News Beat Stand Up are: 1. The impact of recent winter storms on the U.S. energy grid and the performance issues with renewable energy sources like wind and solar during peak demand periods. The speaker argues that wind, solar, and storage need to be repriced to account for the additional costs they impose on the grid. 2. The launch of "Project Vault" by the Trump administration to establish a strategic critical minerals reserve and reduce U.S. dependence on foreign suppliers, especially China. The speaker highlights several companies that are expected to benefit from this initiative. 3. Siemens Energy's $1 billion investment to expand manufacturing of grid equipment in the U.S., creating 1,500 new jobs. The speaker praises the "approachability" of the Trump administration and the Department of Energy, which he says has made it easier for companies like Siemens to invest in Republican-led states. 4. The decline in OPEC oil production in January 2026, largely due to political turmoil in Venezuela. The speaker discusses the complexities of the global oil market, noting that "not all oil is created equal" and that OPEC is taking a cautious approach to production quotas and cuts. 5. India's continued imports of Russian oil, despite pressure from the U.S. to reduce reliance on Russian energy. The speaker argues that he does not fault India for buying cheap Russian oil, but criticizes California for importing Russian oil-derived jet fuel, which he sees as a national security risk. 6. The need for more truthful and fact-based reporting on energy issues by the mainstream media, which the speaker believes is often biased in favor of renewable energy. 1.Overreliance on Renewables Leaves Americans Out in the Cold, and Paying More for Electricity 2.Trump’s Project Vault Gives US Critical Minerals a Boost 3.Siemens Energy Commits $1 Billion to Ramp Up Manufacturing in US, Impacting Grid Equipment 4.OPEC Output Fell Last Month Due to Venezuela Turmoil 5.Oil Rises Amid Conflicting Reports on Iran 6.India Is Expected To Only Slowly Reduce Its Import Of Russian Oil 7.When will the Mainstream Media Report the Truth on Energy?

    When will the Main Stream Media Report the Truth on Energy? Nick Deluliis Stops By to Talk about the Truth In Energy

    Nick Deluliis is a Director on the CNX Board and an author, bringing decades of experience to the discussion. On his website, he cites WSJ reporting and notes that the mainstream media (MSM) is letting the American Public down. He also raises some compelling points about how this can play out. With Bill Gates admitting we are not going to die from "Climate Crisis" to Larry Fink admitting at Davos that we need stable power, when will the MSM follow these stories? Is it up to the podcasts? Connect with Nick on his LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/nick-deiuliis/ 1. Concerns about biased and inaccurate energy news reporting: The host and guest discuss how energy news reporting, particularly in outlets like the Wall Street Journal, often fails to provide objective, fact-based coverage. They cite the "Gell-Mann amnesia effect" where readers trust the reporting on topics they are unfamiliar with, even when the reporting on the guest's area of expertise (energy) contains significant flaws and omissions. 2. The challenges of transitioning the energy grid to renewable sources: The transcript explores how the push for large-scale adoption of wind and solar power has led to "manufactured inefficiencies" in energy systems. The guests argue that intermittent renewable sources are not viable replacements for reliable baseload power from fossil fuels and nuclear, resulting in grid instability and higher costs for consumers. 3. The importance of rational, fact-based energy policies: The discussion highlights how ideologically-driven energy policies, often favoring renewable energy over more reliable sources, have had negative consequences for energy affordability, grid reliability, and industrial competitiveness. The guests advocate for policymaking grounded in scientific and economic realities rather than political agendas. 4. The potential of the Marcellus Shale region for reviving American manufacturing: The guests express optimism about leveraging the abundant natural gas resources in the Marcellus Shale to support domestic manufacturing and economic growth, if policies enable the efficient development and utilization of these energy assets. 5. The emerging global divide on energy and climate policies: The transcript suggests a bifurcation of the world into two camps - those pursuing net-zero emissions policies that undermine industrial competitiveness, versus those focused on energy affordability and reliability to support economic prosperity. We emphasized the need for objective, fact-based journalism to inform the public and policymakers on the complex realities of the energy transition.
