In this episode of Energy Newsbeat Daily Standup, Michael Tanner and Stuart Turley break down Citi’s $50 oil prediction amid Russia-Ukraine de-escalation rumors, debating whether the surplus fears hold up against Saudi Arabia’s fiscal realities and Trump’s energy goals. They expose the hidden fossil fuel costs behind wind turbines, highlight Trump’s pushback on global carbon taxes, and analyze Europe’s rare earth dependence in the U.S.-China trade clash. Wrapping up with rig counts, SLB earnings, and India’s oil trade under sanctions, the hosts close with optimism for global reindustrialization and pragmatic energy investing.
