In this episode of the Energy Newsbeat Daily Standup, Stuart Turley discusses the significant impact of potential secondary sanctions on India by President Trump, aiming to pressure India over its Russian oil imports. This move could escalate U.S.-India tensions and have widespread economic implications, potentially pushing Brent oil prices to $90-$100. Stuart also highlights the operational challenges faced by Europe's nuclear power amid extreme heat and maintenance issues, contrasting it with the U.S. grid transformation efforts under the Trump administration, emphasizing AI, decentralized management, and the role of tech giants in reshaping energy markets.
