They discuss the misconception of "free" wind energy costs, the impact of recent deadly storms in Houston on power outages, Biden's administration increasing tariffs on Chinese imports, and the declining interest in electric vehicles for the first time since 2021. They also touch on a new policy excluding Chinese companies from benefiting from the EV critical minerals tax credit and the significant merger of Crescent Energy acquiring Silver Bow Resources, enhancing its position in the Eagle Ford.
