In this episode of the Energy News Beat Daily Standup - Weekly Recap, the hosts, Stuart Turley and Michael Tanner, discusses a volatile week in the energy sector, focusing on the potential impact of escalating tensions between Israel and Iran. A retaliatory strike on Iranian oil infrastructure could cause oil prices to surge, with some predictions of prices reaching $200 per barrel if key oil assets like Kharg Island are targeted. At the same time, geopolitical risks, such as Jamie Dimon's warning of a "treacherous" situation, add uncertainty to global energy markets. Meanwhile, Google supports nuclear energy development, and the IEA predicts a transition to an "age of electricity" as fossil fuel demand peaks.
