In this episode of Energy Newsbeat Daily Standup Stuart Turley breaks down the hidden costs of renewable energy and its real impact on consumer electricity bills, using EU, UK, and ERCOT examples. He highlights Doug Sheridan’s call for more baseload gas and nuclear, critiques flawed oil demand forecasts from the IEA, and reviews Irina Slav’s takedown of politicized modeling. Plus, he spotlights record U.S. natural gas consumption projected for 2025 and analyzes how BlackRock’s gas deal boosts Aramco’s financial strength.
