About this episode
Is the future of energy all about drilling for oil or digging for minerals? Chuck, Mark, and special guest Avery Plank from Third Coast tackle the Drill Baby Drill vs. Dig Baby Dig debate, breaking down what shifting energy policies mean for the industry. From the 2024 election’s impact on infrastructure to Venezuela’s oil struggles and the challenges of offshore wind and lithium batteries, we’re covering it all. Plus, we get into why natural gas remains the unsung hero of renewables and how refining bottlenecks are shaping global markets. Whether you’re tracking Chevron and ExxonMobil’s next moves or just trying to make sense of energy politics, this one’s got something for you.
