In this episode of the Energy News Beat Daily Standup, the hosts, Stuart Turley and Michael Tanner break down key global energy developments, including risks to UK North Sea oil jobs from anti-fossil policies, Brazil’s expanding LNG power and clean energy mix, and Russia’s shifting LNG trade outside the U.S. dollar via the dark fleet. They warn that the growing move away from dollar-based oil trading could threaten the USD’s reserve status. The episode also highlights Texas’ $5B energy fund expansion and pro-natural gas legislation, plus oil market reactions to geopolitical tensions and Canadian wildfire disruptions.
