In this episode of Energy Newsbeat Daily Standup, Stuart Turley breaks down why we’re living through an energy addition, not a transition—as global demand for oil, gas, and coal continues to climb despite record renewable spending. He dives into Texas ERCOT’s massive overbuild of nameplate capacity, BP’s $25 billion Iraq investment as a geopolitical lifeline, Iraq’s new LNG import deal, and major oil producers ramping output despite OPEC’s challenges. Plus, updates on TotalEnergies’ U.S. gas expansion and Equinor’s Q3 profit drop, highlighting how “green transition” strategies have failed and traditional energy remains the cornerstone for investors.
