Stu Turley - Energy Reality, Global Power Shifts & Why Energy Security Is Everything
from Wind, Waves & Wells with Joe · host joeleather92
This one goes stateside. Stu Turley, CEO of Sandstone Group and host of Energy Newsbeat, joins me to break down what’s really going on in the energy world right now. We get into the current situation in the US, why California is facing serious energy issues, and how global events like the Strait of Hormuz could have a much bigger impact than people realise. But this is not just headlines. We talk about: • Energy security and why it actually matters • The reality behind renewables vs oil and gas • Why the world isn’t in an energy transition, but an energy addition • The growing pressure from AI, data centres, and power demand • And where the biggest opportunities in energy really are Stu doesn’t hold back.
