  • Trump's $90 billion energy plan, Texas pipelines, Chris Wright, Jeffrey Epstein | BDE 07.18.25
    2025/07/17

    Everyone’s talking about AI like it’s all GPUs and algorithms, but the real story? It’s energy. In this video, we break down how the U.S. is quietly turning its energy dominance into an AI advantage. We’re talking big moves from Pennsylvania to Texas, natural gas, nuclear, and renewables coming together to fuel the AI arms race. We get into the details on the Homer City Giga Campus, why EQT and ExxonMobil are making strategic bets on shale, and how forgotten gas like Waha could be the secret weapon for powering tomorrow’s data centers. This is about more than tech, it’s a full-blown national strategy. If AI is the new Manhattan Project, America’s energy muscle might just be its most powerful asset.

    The Texas floods hit hard, and this episode gets real about what that looked like on the ground. We talk about the heartbreaking moments, the lives forever changed, and the absolute guts shown by folks who stepped up when it mattered most, like camp counselors risking it all to save kids. It’s a raw and personal look at what those camps along the Guadalupe mean to so many of us, and how this community showed up with grit and grace in the face of tragedy.

  • The Truth Behind the Big Beautiful Energy Bill | BDE 07.03.25
    2025/07/03

    The Big Beautiful Energy Bill just passed and let’s just say it’s not all sunshine and wind turbines. We’re unpacking what’s really going on here: why some renewables are suddenly less loved, how oil and gas somehow walked away smiling, and what Alaska had to do with any of it. There’s tax talk (don’t worry, we make it make sense), political chess moves, and a look at what this means for companies like Chevron and Exxon. Oh, and we didn’t forget about nuclear (especially the bite-sized kind) or how AI is creeping into your energy grid. If you’ve got questions about the future of natural gas, energy markets, or what this bill means for your lights staying on—this one’s for you.

  • Trump vs Musk, TX SB-6 - ERCOT, Revisiting Nuke Costs | 25.06.07 BDE
    2025/06/09

    Things are heating up in the world of Trump vs. Musk, as the two giants clash over EV incentives and oil and gas subsidies, do they even exist? Over in Texas, SB-6 is set to give ERCOT the power to pull the plug on massive data centers, cutting down on residential blackouts and shifting some grid responsibility onto developers. But what does that mean for backup power economics? And then there’s nuclear energy, why’s it costing us so much more than countries like France and India? As always, we’re breaking down the latest in policy, politics, and everything in between, with plenty of news, stats, and a little bit of BDE flair.

  • Spain blackout, US & Ukraine, CCUS headwinds, Majors in Guyana | BDE 05.02.25
    2025/05/02

    Spain hit 100% renewables and then the lights went out. We’re unpacking what actually happened when the grid went sideways and why it rippled into Portugal and France. From the weird culprit (hello, atmospheric vibration?) to why renewables alone might not cut it, we’re talking inertia, batteries, nuclear, and what all this means for grids everywhere. We even throw in ERCOT, Canada’s energy politics, and how the U.S. grid compares to Europe’s. It’s part physics lesson, part real talk about the tradeoffs in building a future-proof energy system.
