Energy News Beat Podcast
Is the US wasting its time saving the planet?
In this episode of the Energy News Beat Daily Standup, the host, Stuart Turley discusses several critical energy stories: the EU's impending ban on re-exporting Russian LNG as part of its 14th sanctions package against Russia; the high cost of relying on lithium batteries for grid storage, amounting to $2.5 trillion; the fire hazards associated with lithium battery factories; the resumption of crude oil shipments via the Arctic by Russia; the significant impact of Asia's carbon emissions on global efforts to reduce pollution; and the ongoing threat posed by Houthi drone strikes on merchant shipping. Turley also highlights the need for more practical and financially sound energy policies.
