Get Ready to Be Taxed on Your Sun Use!

In this episode of the Energy Newsbeat Daily Standup, Stuart Turley and Michael Tanner dive into the latest energy policy battles, starting with Germany's controversial "sun tax" as part of its net-zero push, and the UK’s bold move to restrict North Sea oil production. We also explore the challenges posed by the Jones Act on U.S. LNG exports, with outdated regulations stalling progress. On the nuclear front, the U.S. sees potential for a nuclear renaissance with new uranium enrichment projects, though regulatory hurdles remain. Finally, we discuss the geopolitical implications of a possible Trump-Putin meeting and its potential impact on global energy trade and sanctions. Tune in for insights on how these developments shape the future of energy.
