Week Recap: Nuclear Gains, EV Costs, and Oil Shipping Surges
In this episode of the Energy News Beat Daily Standup, the host, Stuart Turley, discusses the challenges facing the North Sea oil and gas industry, including reduced financing and higher windfall taxes, which threaten energy investments. He also highlights Goldman Sachs' optimistic oil price forecast, driven by supply concerns, and criticizes the Biden-Harris administration's energy and EV policies for their negative impact on U.S. markets and auto manufacturers. Additionally, Turley points out the inefficiencies in the U.S. infrastructure bill's EV charging station rollout and how U.S. LNG permit freezes are benefiting Canada's and Mexico's exports.
