In this episode of Energy Newsbeat – Conversations in Energy, Stuart Turley welcomes back author Terry Etam to discuss U.S.-Canada trade tensions, the impact of tariffs, Canada's energy potential, critical mineral strategies, and the future of oil, gas, and nuclear energy. They tackle political challenges, the dangers of rail transport for oil, and the urgent need for stronger U.S.-Canada energy collaboration amid global volatility.

Terry is a great friend of the podcast, and I thoroughly enjoy every chance I get to talk with one of my favorite Canadians.
