Episode 168
California’s energy mess is heating up, and Kirk and Mark aren’t holding back. They’re calling out what happens when regulators, like the California Coastal Commission, start flexing too hard, leaving companies like Sable Offshore tangled in lawsuits over something as basic as fixing old oil platforms near Santa Barbara. Between the fallout from the 2015 pipeline spill, shrinking refining capacity, and a growing dependence on imported crude, California’s energy future looks messy at best. The guys dig into whether regulation is protecting the environment or just strangling innovation and property rights. And because no episode’s complete without a few curveballs, they also weigh in on Phil Mickelson’s surprise energy takes, Venture Global’s LNG drama, and the weirdly booming-yet-bloated Permian gas market. It’s sharp, fiery, and full of big-picture takes on how policy, money, and power collide in the energy world.
