In this episode of the Energy News Beat Daily Standup - Weekly Recap, the hosts, Michael Tanner and Stuart Turley covers key energy and geopolitical topics, including coal’s persistent demand driven by China, Trump’s use of LNG and tariffs as negotiation tools, China’s nuclear energy advancements, and California’s reliance on foreign oil as a security risk.
