In this episode of the Energy News Beat Daily Standup - Weekly Recap, the hosts, Stuart Turley and Michael Tanner, discuss about including U.S. LNG demand nearing record highs, Trump's push to maintain the dollar's global dominance, and China's covert oil deals with Iran. California's stringent orphaned well regulations sparked debate over balancing environmental liability and economic feasibility. Meanwhile, net-zero goals faced criticism for high costs and lifestyle demands, as natural gas emerged as a cornerstone for U.S. energy independence and global market expansion. These trends highlight shifting dynamics in energy policy, trade, and sustainability efforts.
