Big things are happening in the oilfield—literally. We’re talking about a 42-mile, all-electric conveyor belt hauling frac sand across the Delaware Basin, cutting out thousands of truckloads and making operations safer, cleaner, and more efficient. Bud Brigham and his team just dropped $400 million on this beast, moving 13 million pounds of sand annually and changing the game for shale drilling. We’re breaking down why this could be the future of frac logistics, what it means for rigs and automation, and how it stacks up against traditional sand hauling. Plus, a look at the latest energy headlines—OPEC moves, US policy shifts, and what’s shaking up oil markets, from Chevron to ExxonMobil.

Nuclear energy is getting a major upgrade by going deep underground. Deep bore reactors could be the future, promising safer, cheaper, and more efficient nuclear power with built-in natural containment. But that’s just one piece of the energy puzzle. We’re also unpacking how micro-reactors could power off-grid data centers, why U.S. shale keeps growing despite fewer rigs, and what energy giants like Chevron and ExxonMobil are doing to stay ahead. Plus, we break down OPEC’s latest moves, global demand shifts, and the big-picture trends shaping the future of industrial power. If you're into energy innovation, this one’s got plenty to chew on.

Tennessee is making big moves in tech, and the Colossus XAI facility is proof, housing the world's most powerful supercomputer in a mind-blowing 750,000-square-foot space (and growing). This beast runs on 300 megawatts and is set to scale past a million chips, making it a game-changer for AI and computing. But that’s just the start, we’re also talking about energy efficiency breakthroughs, why Tennessee’s business-friendly setup is a magnet for projects like this, and the wild speed of its construction (122 days!). Plus, a look at private equity shaking things up in the Permian, BP rethinking renewables, and somehow, the carnivore diet debate sneaks into the mix. If you like tech, energy, or just seeing how industries collide in unexpected ways, this one's got plenty to chew on.

OPEC just shook up the energy world again, rolling back 2.2 million barrels per day of production cuts, and the ripple effects are huge. Will oil prices climb? Can U.S. shale keep up, or are we looking at a new reality for American production? We’re breaking down what this means for global supply, market stability, and the geopolitical chess game playing out from Saudi Arabia to Venezuela. Plus, the latest on LNG, trade wars, and whether energy independence is still a thing or just a nice idea. From drilling rigs to big moves by Chevron and ExxonMobil, we’re covering all the angles, because let’s be real, this industry never sits still.

James Kostohyrz argues there’s a real chance that Israel and Iran are going to war.  Like bombs and missiles.  Real war. If so, what’s Iran’s first move?  Shut down the Strait of Hormuz and immediately block 20% of the world’s oil production.  Oh crap.  What would that mean for oil prices?   It’s a scary yet possible scenario we are facing.  Horrifying with huge ramifications for oil prices.  James argues it’s not priced into today’s crude prices.

AI is hungry for power, and natural gas is stepping up to the plate but can it keep up? As data centers expand at breakneck speed, we’re breaking down how natural gas is fueling the AI revolution, why tech giants like Microsoft and Oracle are partnering with energy companies, and what the future holds for power solutions. From crude oil markets and renewables to energy storage and modular reactors, we’re covering the major shifts shaping the industry. With Gastech setting the stage for global energy debates and policy shifts in play, the big question remains: can natural gas stay competitive in an AI-driven world?

When a fracking trailblazer and science advocate heads to Washington, you know the energy world is buzzing. This week, we're talking about how Chris Wright, the CEO of Liberty Energy, could shake up U.S. energy policy with his mix of gritty industry experience and no-nonsense pragmatism. From transforming the Barnett Shale to his vision for balancing environmental responsibility with human progress, Wright’s story is anything but ordinary. We’ll also unpack what his nomination says about the direction of American energy leadership, the challenges of modernizing the grid, and what COP29’s finance week could mean for global energy projects. It's a candid look at how technical know-how might finally bring some real-world solutions to Washington’s energy puzzle.

Mark’s back from North Carolina NASCAR museum, Charlotte Knights games, the works—and we’re jumping straight into the energy debates heating up the industry. From New York’s Climate Change Superfund targeting oil giants like ExxonMobil to the UK’s push for state-owned offshore wind, there’s plenty to unpack (with a few soapbox moments along the way). We’re also talking about the legacy of Autry Stephens, the wild days of *Black Gold*, and what’s next for LNG exports and federal permitting. If you like your energy news with a side of sharp takes and a little humor, you’re in the right place.
