This was an outstanding episode of the Energy Realities podcast with our special Guest,

Tom Nelson. He has been on the podcast before, and this time was a great treat for our listeners, and the comments from the live audience was fantastic!This was very enlightening and entertaining, as we are seeing a change in the world, and it normally starts with banks and insurance companies.

When Tom brought up some Key points about his post on Substack, and Larry Fink’s admission, or omission, of ESG and climate in his year-end financial reports was HUGE.

Tammy was spot on with how the UK and Canada are handling Net Zero, and you need to follow her Substack as well.

We also covered the new report from the United States Department of Energy. DOE’s Grid Reliability Report Sounds the Alarm: Opportunities for Investors in a Strained Energy Landscape. Secretary Chris Wright’s team has done a great job getting the numbers together for how they are going to ensure grid reliability.
