In this episode of Energy Newsbeat – Conversations in Energy, Stuart Turley discusses key topics with Steve Reese, CEO of Reese Energy Consulting, and Karr Ingham from the Texas Alliance of Energy Producers. They explore the role of Texas in the energy sector, focusing on natural gas and oil production, the state's influence on energy markets, and the challenges posed by legislation and regulation. The conversation highlights the economic significance of oil and gas in Texas, the state's approach to balancing renewable energy, and the global demand for U.S. LNG. The trio also discusses the ongoing legislative session and the future of energy in the U.S., emphasizing the importance of free-market solutions.

This was a huge conversation about the Texas oil and gas markets and it's impact on the global energy market. Texas is impacting the world.

Natural gas is not a bridge fuel; it is part of the change in molecule demand. Electricity demand is growing, and how it is generated matters. The EIA has stated that the US has continually lowered its emissions, and the largest reduction was closing coal plants and increasing to natural gas.

We are seeing this same global trend in shipping and long-haul trucking. Let's save the environment, while being fiscally responsible is a vast topic.
