ENB 289 - Biden's Export Dilemma, Indonesia's Renewable Struggles, and the Call for IEA Reform

January 18, 2024

In this episode of the Energy News Beat Daily Standup, hosts Michael Tanner and Stuart Turley discuss top headlines. They start with the Biden administration's consideration of banning natural gas exports to China, aiming for a climate win but potentially harming the U.S. energy industry. Indonesia plans to abandon its 23% renewable energy target by 2025 due to financial constraints. Progressive lawmakers face the consequences of a costly error in the renewable energy plan, with uncontrolled tax credits causing a $1.2 trillion estimate. Occidental CEO at Davos predicts a short market for oil from 2025 onwards, challenging conventional forecasts. The hosts highlight the increasing importance of energy information and discuss a proposal to reform the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). The finance segment covers market updates, crude oil inventory projections, and potential M&A activity. Upcoming podcast guests include Barbara Denton, Shane Stall, Ron Miller, and John Cash, covering topics such as uranium, nuclear energy, and grid security.
