Big Oil Earnings Drop

January 30, 2025

In this episode of the Energy News Beat Daily Standup, the host, Stuart Turley discusses key energy-related topics in the Energy News Beat daily, highlighting challenges and developments in the sector. Big Oil faces earnings slumps, pressuring investor payouts, while global energy dynamics are strained by limited natural resources and geopolitical tensions, such as Ukraine's drone strikes on Russian oil refineries. Turley critiques the gap between ambitious Sustainable Development Goals and their real-world implementation, emphasizing the need for practical solutions like nuclear energy and LNG. He praises the Philippines' $3.3 billion LNG-to-power deal as a step toward cleaner energy but calls for strategic shifts, including ending the Ukraine war and reevaluating energy policies in the EU and U.S. to ensure sustainable, cost-effective solutions.
