Energy News Beat Podcast

Warren Buffett Was Right About Wind Energy

22 Sep 2025

Description

In this episode of Energy Newsbeat Daily Standup, Stu Turley and Michael Tanner break down the hidden costs and tax subsidies behind wind energy, highlighting Warren Buffett’s reliance on tax credits to make wind projects profitable, while consumers and taxpayers ultimately foot the bill. They contrast this with the lower cost of natural gas and new turbine technology, critique California’s EV credit policies under Governor Newsom, and cover geopolitical energy developments, including the U.S. blocking Iran-Iraq gas deals and Michigan’s Line 5 pipeline legal battles. The hosts also touch on market movements, rig counts, and Cord Energy’s Williston Basin acquisition, while emphasizing the value of diversifying through oil and gas investments with strong tax advantages.Subscribe to Our Substack For Daily InsightsWant to Add Oil & Gas To Your Portfolio?
