Germany’s Wind Collapse: Why Renewables Can’t Be the Backbone

November 06, 2025

In this episode of Energy NewsBeat Daily Stand-Up, Stuart Turley breaks down Germany’s wind collapse, Ørsted’s $262M loss, and COP30’s credibility crisis after Bill Gates’ climate remark. He spotlights David Blackmon’s report on $1B in wind-turbine repairs, Wood Mackenzie’s forecast of rising oil demand through 2032, and Russia’s Lukoil asset sale to evade sanctions. Turley drives home one message — energy security needs realism, not ideology.
