    Fear and Loathing in the Net Zero Camp

    You don’t want to miss this episode of the Energy Realities Podcast with the International Team from the UK, EU, and the US. We have Dr. Tammy Nemeth, Irina Slav, Stu Turley, and David Blackmon. We will be covering the latest updates in Net Zero, like the reports that the Net Zero Banking Alliance has voted to cease operations. Is this yet another fallout from the Trump UN Speech? This episode dives into the unraveling of the Net Zero movement—from Europe’s industrial collapse and green energy failures to the hypocrisy behind corporate “greenwashing.” It explores how political shifts, financial pushback, and the realities of energy demand are reshaping the global sustainability agenda. With insights from across continents, it exposes the widening gap between climate idealism and energy realism. Germany’s industrial Collapse is legendary, and the number of jobs lost due to deindustrialization is estimated between 300,000 and 400,000. The number of companies that left or shut down due to increased energy costs is staggering. Examining the financial impact of Net Zero on Germany’s GDP is remarkable, and Dr. Tammy Nemeth raised a point that the EU is considering revising or redefining GDP as a measure of financial stability. If you can have a growing economy, redefine the normal fiscal definitions. For the full article check out: Has Net Zero Cost Germany Its Top Spot in Manufacturing?

    The UN and Climate Week Experience the Trump Effect

    What a week at the UN. They were expecting a climate and green energy rally, but they got President Trump going off the teleprompter and delivering some Energy Realities that were more like a shark in a tidal pool filled with fish that could not escape. Buckle up and enjoy the global impact of the Presidential speech at the UN General Assembly. In this week’s episode of The Energy Realities Podcast, hosts Stuart Turley, David Blackmon, Dr. Tammy Nemeth, and Irina Slav for a lively discussion on the “Trump Effect” that shook the UN and Climate Week. From the broken teleprompter moment to Trump’s fiery critique of global climate policies and migration funding, the panel dives deep into how his remarks exposed the contradictions of the green agenda. Packed with sharp analysis, humor, and hard truths, this episode reveals how political theater at the UN became a reality check for the global climate establishment. Personally, I think that we should defund the UN and throw them out of the United States. There is more than enough evidence that they have used USAID money against our country.

    IEA hypocritical about-face, and market impacts

    You won’t want to miss the global team of podcasters covering the IEA walking back its stances on oil and the huge impacts on international markets. David Blackmon, Tammy Nemeth, Irina Slav, and Stu Turley from all parts of the globe dig into why the IEA has reversed course, the pressures behind its changing forecasts, and what it means for energy security, global markets, and investment strategies. With sharp analysis and candid debate, the panel highlights the growing tension between political aspirations and real-world energy demand and what it all means for the future of reliable power worldwide. We had a critical part that I cut out, and we covered the Energy Bad Boys article “Rising Natural Gas Costs Make Wind and Solar more expensive.” Take a look at this one 5-minute section in which we cover the additional costs to the grid. This was from the Energy Bad Boys Substack, and when you look at the new technologies for natural gas, the cost goes even lower. Compared to the figures shown in “The Baseload Solar Beatdown,” the 50 percent solar plus battery storage levels are 15 percent higher, using higher capital cost and fuel prices for the natural gas backup generation. Additionally, we presented the cost of combined cycle natural gas at the highest capital cost and fuel price from above. The graph below shows prices are higher in every other portfolio mix, as well, even though a higher use of solar will require less natural gas for load balancing than the 50 percent scenario. Electricity costs from natural gas power plants are rising, as the rise in capital costs for new natural gas plants constitutes a 70 percent increase in the LCOE of these plants, and a potential rise in fuel costs could push these prices higher. But wind and solar advocates should be careful what they wish for, as higher prices for natural gas power plants and fuel make their own preferred generation portfolios, which are reliant upon natural gas for reliability, more expensive. Rising prices for power generated by gas turbines make these portfolios less competitive with existing coal and nuclear plants for the foreseeable future. Thanks for reading Energy Bad Boys! Highlights of the Podcast 00:01 - Introductions 01:58 - IEA’s “Hypocritical” About-Face 07:44 - Drivers Behind the IEA Shift 14:58 - Investment, Demand, and Market Impacts 23:31 - Energy Transition Challenges 36:04 - Environmental Trade-Offs & Security Risks 39:06 - Closing Thoughts on IEA 42:04 - Broader Geopolitics & Market Forces 46:35 - Pentagon Hails Restart Of Critical Minerals Mine In Idaho 47:21 - DAVID BLACKMON: Geoengineering Is Real, And It’s Spectacular 49:39 - Greenpeace USA unveils giant “bill” with the economic damages brought on by five major oil and gas companies at NYC Climate Week 51:41 - Could higher US power prices give solar an edge? 54:36 - California faces a self-created oil and gas crisis.
