In this episode of the Energy Newsbeat Daily Standup - Weekly Recap, Stuart Turley and Michael Tanner dive into a packed week of energy news. Topics include the EPA's proposed changes to Obama-era regulations, secondary sanctions targeting India over Russian oil, and the shift in global energy dynamics, particularly with China’s rising fuel exports. They discuss the challenges facing the U.S. energy grid, including supply chain vulnerabilities, the rise of decentralized grid management, and the impact of AI and data centers on energy demands. The hosts also explore how geopolitical tensions, including tensions with the EU, could reshape the future of energy and its regulation.
