Wind and Solar LOVE The Big Beautiful Bill

In this episode of the Energy News Beat Daily Standup, Michael Tanner and Stuart Turley break down why California's energy policies—closing refineries, importing Russian and Iraqi oil, and boosting prices—pose a national security risk while ironically funding the Russia-Ukraine war. They also unpack the "One Big Beautiful Bill" narrowly passed by the Senate, calling it a mixed bag that guts renewable incentives but offers fossil fuel benefits and some tax reforms. They close by warning of looming energy crises tied to California's refining collapse, global oversupply, and incoming carbon taxes targeting U.S. oil producers.Highlights of the Podcast 00:00 - Intro01:14 - California is a National Security Risk, Funding the Ukrainian/Russian War, and Closing Refineries in California03:33 - California Helps Iraq Claim Top Spot Among OPEC Crude Oil Suppliers to the United States06:10 - One Big Beautiful Bill Passes Senate: A Mixed Bag for Energy with Renewable Incentives Gutted12:32 - Markets Update15:49 - OutroPlease see the links below or articles that we discuss in the podcast.California is a National Security Risk, Funding the Ukrainian/Russian War, and Closing Refineries in CaliforniaCalifornia Helps Iraq Claim Top Spot Among OPEC Crude Oil Suppliers to the United StatesOne Big Beautiful Bill Passes Senate: A Mixed Bag for Energy with Renewable Incentives GuttedFollow Stuart On LinkedIn and TwitterFollow Michael On LinkedIn and TwitterENB Top NewsEnergy DashboardENB PodcastENB SubstackENB Trading DeskOil & Gas InvestingNeed Power For Your Data Center, Hospital, or Business?– Get in Contact With The Show –
