In this episode of Energy Newsbeat Daily Standup, Stu Turley and Michael Tanner break break down Gavin Newsom’s COP30 grandstanding, Trump’s coal revival predictions, and why China dominates clean-energy manufacturing while still running on coal and oil. They unpack billions pouring into U.S. nuclear projects—and why real returns are still a decade away—before diving into Chevron’s first West Texas data-center power project and Liberty Energy’s early lead in the space. The duo closes with the IEA’s updated outlook showing oil and gas demand rising through 2050, shaky OPEC signals pushing prices down, and Baytex’s surprising Eagle Ford exit. A fast, fiery roundup of energy reality, markets, and industry moves.Subscribe to Our Substack For Daily Insights (https://publish.blubrry.com/s-1457551/episodes/e-149569834/edit/%5C) Want to Add Oil & Gas To Your Portfolio?
