Governments are pushing harder than ever to enforce Net Zero, but what does that really mean for households, businesses, and the global economy? From court rulings on oil and gas projects to soaring energy bills and the heavy reliance on subsidies, we break down the contradictions and real-world impact of these policies.

We had a lot of fun covering key points around Net Zero and hypocrisy.

We also played a Lee Zeldin video that really articulated New York’s problems with Net Zero. The financial ruin of countries and states is now a pattern.

There are numerous moving parts in the world of Net Zero, and we examine the current issues facing the business world concerning Net Zero and the complex regulations.

You won't want to miss this episode of the Energy Realities Podcast with David Blackmon, Stu Turley, Irina Slav, and Tammy Nemeth with their special guest Robert Bryce. Robert has a new mini-documentary out, and it is about the global push to save farmlands from large-scale solar development. This is one of the most significant issues imaginable.

There were lots of key points in the podcast. Green energy is not sustainable, and the key points around the solar land reclamation and what to do with the toxic solar panels. Right now they are being shipped off to landfills and toxic waste.

As subsidies fail worldwide, Robert has been monitoring the number of canceled wind and solar projects globally. Furthermore, wind and solar land reclamation projects are expected to incur significant costs.

Also, hats off to the Trump adminstration for taking up the charge to save the eagles and raptors from the wind turbine problems.
