In this episode of the Energy Newsbeat Daily Standup - Weekly Recap, Stu Turley and Michael Tanner dive into Oklo’s $168B nuclear fuel recycling milestone, Scott Bessent’s explosive critique of the Federal Reserve, and the geopolitical oil chessboard as OPEC+ eyes an October production increase. They also unpack California’s failed refinery bailout, widespread oil & gas job cuts, and the 71% plunge in exploration capex. From Tennessee to Tehran, the duo challenges media narratives on “oil gluts,” inflation, and energy policy hypocrisy—all with charts, laughs, and hard-hitting analysis.Subscribe to Our Substack For Daily InsightsWant to Add Oil & Gas To Your Portfolio?
