We had a super-unique and stimulating session today all about interactions between the energy industry, the media, public opinion and energy policy. We were lucky to be joined by two experts in the field: Jim Krane, Ph.D., Author and Wallace S. Wilson Fellow for Energy Studies at Rice University's Baker Institute and Chris Tomlinson, Author and Business Columnist for the Houston Chronicle.

With Jim and Chris's backgrounds, we were able to cover several topics including journalism, energy in the classroom, climate change, Jim and Chris's time spent in the Middle East and the ethical trade-offs in energy and the environment to name a few. It was a far reaching and lively discussion. As you will hear, we didn't always agree and we touched on some hard topics... but in the spirit of what we are trying to do at COBT, we found two great friends today and we learned from them. Thank you Jim and Chris!

As always, the TPH crew kicked off with today's scoop: Mike Bradley discussed the DAPL decision deadline coming up this Friday as well as recent talks to revive the Iran Nuclear Deal. Matt Portillo shared a few updates from the TPH Research team including a review of the recent Virtual Battery Workshop held last week, their recent Solar Forecast Report and the rise of interest in Carbon Capture technologies. Colin Fenton prepared a few slides covering an update on producer's hedging strategies and COVID-19 data on vaccinations and the possibility for herd immunity in the near future.

Thank you, as always, for watching! We hope you enjoy.
