USAID Blocks DOGE

In this episode of the Energy News Beat Daily Standup, the hosts, Stuart Turley and Michael Tanner cover a range of hot topics from the significant impact of oil tariffs on U.S. refiners to USAID's controversial attempt to block a DOGE audit, linking it to broader governmental and geopolitical issues. They explore Greenland’s untapped energy and mineral potential, debate the opaque management of $200 billion in U.S. aid to Ukraine, and highlight Shell’s anticipated midyear LNG Canada launch. Alongside market updates on oil, natural gas, and major earnings reports from Chevron and ExxonMobil, the discussion also raises constitutional concerns regarding unelected bureaucrats and the shifting power dynamics in U.S. energy policy.Highlights of the Podcast00:00 - Intro01:52 - Tariffs on Oil Are a Major Problem for U.S. Refiners03:38 - USAID tried to block DOGE audit09:32 - The Geopolitics and Energy Potential of Greenland10:27 - Zelensky has no idea where most of ‘$200 billion’ in US aid went11:10 - Shell still expects mid-year launch for LNG Canada14:58 - Markets Update17:38 - Chevron Reports Fourth Quarter 2024 Results18:53 - ExxonMobil Announces 2024 Results19:38 - OutroPlease see the links below or articles that we discuss in the podcast.Tariffs on Oil Are a Major Problem for U.S. RefinersUSAID tried to block DOGE auditThe Geopolitics and Energy Potential of GreenlandZelensky has no idea where most of ‘$200 billion’ in US aid wentShell still expects mid-year launch for LNG CanadaFollow Stuart On LinkedIn and TwitterFollow Michael On LinkedIn and TwitterENB Top NewsEnergy DashboardENB PodcastENB SubstackENB Trading DeskOil & Gas Investing– Get in Contact With The Show –
