Week Recap: EVs, Water Scarcity, Corporate Debates
In this episode of the Energy News Beat Daily Standup - Weekly Recap, the hosts, Michael Tanner and Stuart Turley discuss a range of topics impacting the energy sector.

They highlight the impact of governmental policies on EV market dynamics, particularly in the UK. Additionally, they touch on the implications of water use in energy production, particularly concerning hydrogen and renewable energy projects in South Texas, which are raising concerns over water scarcity and cost implications for local communities. The episode also covers geopolitical tensions and their potential impact on oil prices, with specific references to ongoing conflicts and strategic maneuvers in global energy markets.
