In this episode of the Energy News Beat Daily Standup, the hosts, Michael Tanner and Stuart Turley discuss key energy and geopolitical topics. They highlight a report revealing that a UK biomass power station emits four times more carbon than a coal plant, criticize US net zero policies for driving up gas prices, and note record oil production with fewer workers due to efficiency gains. They also touch on the geopolitical tensions affecting oil markets, including Russia's warning about Israeli airspace and Ukraine's stance on natural gas contracts with Russia. The hosts predict increased volatility in the Middle East and a potentially tumultuous week ahead.
