As energy policy in the United States (and other places) continues to be driven by narrative and lobbyists instead of facts and reliability, ERCOT in Texas has a strange week this week: they issued two power warnings asking customers to conserve energy. In April. Now, I love the great state of Texas but I tend to avoid it in July and August (and June and September) owing to the heat. But April.... is the most pleasant time of year. This...

This week I host Robert Bryce for our podcast next week. His Power Hungry podcast is phenomenal. His book ‘A Question of Power’ is an incredible journey with electrons. We have a lot of advocates for energy. For reason. And for understanding tradeoffs. We need to amplify their voices. Take the opportunity to write a 5 star review for either our podcast or Robert’s and let’s get the message out there.

Dan Pickering rejoins the podcast after an exciting 3 months. Last time we had Dan on, it was Thanksgiving, the vaccine had just been released and oil had begun its ascent. Now.... oil is over $60. Gas is over $3. Some energy equities have rallied more than 500%. We catch up on what’s happened, what coming and what to watch for. As always - I enjoy the conversation with Dan and I’m sure you will too.   Podcast Audio   https://youtu.be/1D8shDz1uMo   About our Sponsor:...
