Global government energy policies are impacting the environment and economies, and not in a good way. The Energy Realism team covers global energy policies around the world and their impact on energy. Buckle up and listen to Irina Slav from Bulgaria, Tammy Nemeth from the UK or Canada, David Blackmon from Texas, and Stu Turley from West Texas or Oklahoma. 

We love the questions from all our listeners, and we even have photos of David's vacation in Spain checking out the wind turbines.
