Mark’s back from North Carolina NASCAR museum, Charlotte Knights games, the works—and we’re jumping straight into the energy debates heating up the industry. From New York’s Climate Change Superfund targeting oil giants like ExxonMobil to the UK’s push for state-owned offshore wind, there’s plenty to unpack (with a few soapbox moments along the way). We’re also talking about the legacy of Autry Stephens, the wild days of *Black Gold*, and what’s next for LNG exports and federal permitting. If you like your energy news with a side of sharp takes and a little humor, you’re in the right place.
