    Bill Gates’ latest climate pivot is stirring things up, and the guys are all over it. Kirk, Chuck, and Mark break down why Gates is stepping away from the emissions-only mindset and putting people back at the center of the climate conversation, think healthcare, infrastructure, and everyday quality of life. From the ripple effects across the energy world to Big Tech’s growing influence, they don’t hold back. The crew also tackles U.S.-China trade tensions, Russian oil sanctions, and how AI could shake up the future of energy. It’s a sharp, funny, and surprisingly optimistic take on one of the biggest climate conversations happening right now. Click here to watch a video of this episode.

    Sable Offshore Stalled, BP’s ICC Win, Oil Glut or Tightness?, Waha $0 Gas | BDE 10.18.25

    California’s energy mess is heating up, and Kirk and Mark aren’t holding back. They’re calling out what happens when regulators, like the California Coastal Commission, start flexing too hard, leaving companies like Sable Offshore tangled in lawsuits over something as basic as fixing old oil platforms near Santa Barbara. Between the fallout from the 2015 pipeline spill, shrinking refining capacity, and a growing dependence on imported crude, California’s energy future looks messy at best. The guys dig into whether regulation is protecting the environment or just strangling innovation and property rights. And because no episode’s complete without a few curveballs, they also weigh in on Phil Mickelson’s surprise energy takes, Venture Global’s LNG drama, and the weirdly booming-yet-bloated Permian gas market. It’s sharp, fiery, and full of big-picture takes on how policy, money, and power collide in the energy world. Click here to watch a video of this episode.

Between OPEC’s chess moves, shifting U.S. production, and global demand swings, there’s plenty to keep traders guessing. They also get into the ripple effects of renewables, how countries are juggling sustainability with economic reality, and a few curveballs, like the MEG Energy deal, that have everyone talking.

    Revolutionizing Fracking with Real-Time Data | BDE 10.08.25

    Real-time frac data isn’t some future concept, it’s here, and it’s changing the way completions get done. Chuck Yates sat down with folks from ProFrac and Seismos to break down how AI, automation, and acoustic sensing are turning traditional fracking on its head. Matt Wilks and Panos Adamopoulos talk about ProPilot 2.0 and how closed-loop fracturing is giving operators instant feedback to fine-tune every stage. Then Larry Carroll and Steven Bourgoyne take it further, showing how machine learning and data-driven workflows are pushing completions toward adaptive, even autonomous, operations. From cutting costs to squeezing every drop of performance, this one’s a look at how the oilfield is starting to feel a lot more like sci-fi. Click here to watch a video of this episode.

    Trump’s bold take on climate week, Another BP walkback, solar plant shutdown | BDE 09.26.25

    Trump’s Climate Week speech was anything but subtle, and the Big Digital Energy crew had plenty to say about it. Kirk, Chuck, and Mark break down his unapologetic shots at global green agendas, the messy reality of rushing energy transitions, and what it all means for regular people facing rising energy costs. They don’t shy away from calling out China and India’s emissions role, questioning high-profile renewable failures like the Mojave solar plant, and unpacking the politics of energy independence. It’s a mix of sharp analysis, fiery takes, and plenty of laughs, the kind of conversation where climate policy, energy security, and everyday impact all collide in classic Big Digital Energy fashion.

    Elon Musk data centers, IEA's credibility, Jimmy Kimmel and Charlie Kirk aftermath | BDE 09.20.25

    Musk is once again moving faster than the rulebook can keep up. The guys dig into his latest play, Colossus AI data centers, and how he’s flipping old infrastructure into giga-scale operations at a pace that makes regulators look like they’re standing still. From Tennessee to Mississippi, it’s a masterclass in sidestepping red tape while pushing the future of energy and tech forward. Kirk, Chuck, and Mark break it all down with sharp takes on what this means for digital infrastructure, the energy transition, and the frustrating grind of government oversight, all with the usual mix of big-picture insight and no-BS commentary.

    The shooting of Charlie Kirk has shaken the political and cultural world, raising hard questions about free speech, safety, and what it means to debate ideas in a time this divided.

    EQT LNG deal, MA offshore wind, Norway's export dilemma, Shell cancels SAF project | BDE 09.05.25

    Norway’s energy playbook has basically turned the country into Europe’s oversized extension cord, but the trade-offs are starting to sting at home. Kirk, Chuck, and Mark get into how Norway’s hydro power and subsea cables made it a powerhouse exporter while leaving its own citizens facing higher electricity bills. They call out how exports are essentially propping up bad energy bets from countries like Germany and the UK, then draw some sharp parallels back to U.S. policy, think EQT’s LNG push and the roadblocks baked into regulation. Along the way, they touch on offshore wind, sustainable aviation fuel, and the bigger picture of global energy dynamics, raising the question: how do you balance smart economics with keeping the lights on at home?
