In this episode of the Energy Newsbeat Daily Standup, Stuart Turley and Michael Tanner dive into President Trump's role in potentially stalling solar and wind projects due to security concerns, such as China’s embedded spy technology. They explore his regulatory moves on renewable energy, focusing on tightening federal permitting, and discuss how this impacts U.S. energy security. The conversation also touches on Trump's trade strategies with China, his position on Russia and Ukraine, and the energy challenges in California. Additionally, they cover the Department of Interior's win for U.S. energy independence, market fluctuations, and O'Vintiv’s strong performance in Canada’s energy sector.
