China’s Critical Minerals Ban: A Win for the U.S.? – ENB Weekly Recap

In this episode of the Energy Newsbeat Daily Standup - Weekly Recap, Michael Tanner and Stuart Turley argue that China’s ban on critical mineral exports could backfire by driving U.S. innovation and domestic refining. They explain China’s control lies in refining, not mining, and predict new capacity will emerge in the U.S. and Southeast Asia. The episode also covers China and Iran’s oil-for-infrastructure deal, California’s stalled oil projects, Baytex’s asset sale, and contrasting oil price outlooks from ConocoPhillips’ Ryan Lance and Occidental’s Vicki Holub — with a spotlight on natural gas demand from the AI boom.Subscribe to Our Substack For Daily InsightsWant to Add Oil & Gas To Your Portfolio?
