You can not make up stories like a Babylon Bee Parady in real life; no, wait, you can. The UK just announced that it is buying coal from Japan for a steel plant that it is considering nationalising from the Chinese owners. President Trump's Tariff wars bring out the best in energy stories worldwide. With the EU trying to manufacture EU-approved military equipment, this will be a vast problem for automakers and trade. We get a unique view of the global energy issue facing the international markets. David Blackmon, Irina Slav, Tammy Nemeth, and Stu Turley have way too much fun talking about energy.
