June 05, 2025

In this episode of the Energy News Beat Daily Standup, the host, Stuart Turley overs the massive Alaska LNG project—an $80B+ energy infrastructure initiative poised to boost U.S. energy security. He contrasts this with California’s energy decline under Governor Newsom, calling it a threat to national dominance. He also unpacks banks’ bearish $60 oil forecasts, raising doubts about their reliability versus real-world demand. Finally, he explores rising insurance risks tied to EVs after a cargo ship fire, urging stricter protocols.
