Energy News Beat Podcast

Solar is MORE expensive than Gas (w/ receipts)

29 May 2025

Description

In this episode of the Energy News Beat Daily Standup, the hosts, Stuart Turley and Michael Tanner expose the true costs of solar energy, citing data from Doug Sheridan that reveals solar is significantly more expensive than natural gas across Europe—except in Spain and Portugal. They highlight the added costs of transmission and infrastructure and question whether energy policy is driven by politics rather than economics. Other stories include the struggling solar market amid economic headwinds, water management issues threatening the Permian Basin’s oil output, green corridor projects raising greenwashing concerns, and Texas legislation targeting inactive oil wells with stricter deadlines.Highlights of the Podcast 00:00 - Intro01:19 - Spain – the aftermath by Doug Sheridan – Wind and Solar are infact more expensive05:03 - Has the solar market seen better days?
