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.

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.

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.
