INDUSTRY EXPERT: Energy Expert Robert Bryce gives the rundown on Juice The Docuseries.
The five-part docuseries, Juice: Power, Politics & The Grid, is now available for free on YouTube. Rather than make a feature-length film, Bryce said they decided to make the content as user-friendly as possible, so broke it into five episodes, each lasting about 20 minutes.
The series features 34 interviews that were shot in Texas, Japan, Vermont, Oklahoma, Colorado, California, Washington D.C., Illinois, Egypt, and England. The cast of characters includes many of the world’s top thought leaders on energy, including political scientist Roger Pielke Jr., Grid Brief editor Emmet Penney, civil rights leader Jennifer Hernandez, author Michael Shellenberger, Canadian nuclear activist Chris Keefer, author Meredith Angwin, former IEA director Nobuo Tanaka, World Nuclear Association director Sama Bilbao, Campaign for a Green Nuclear Deal founder Madi Hilly, and many others.
Bryce said he is especially proud of Episode 3, which features the Osage tribe’s battle with Enel over a wind project the company built by violating the tribe’s sovereignty.
I have been covering this issue for more than four years, so I was thrilled last month when a federal court judge in Tulsa ordered Enel to remove all 84 of the turbines it built in Osage County," Bryce said. "It’s a landmark ruling and an enormous embarrassment for Big Wind and Enel, a company that has endlessly touted its 'green' credentials."
ENERGY EXPERT: Joe Sinnott, CEO, Witting Partners and the host of The Energy Detox Podcast talks about how industry mergers, cabin fever, March Madness and culture clashes can impact the workplace.
As organizations diversify, workplace cultures may clash, leading to conflicts and reduced collaboration.
“And, you know, a lot of times people are unwittingly, you know, damaging some of that trust or creating more separation between them and their stakeholders than they realize,” Sinnott said. “So, you know, that's the first challenge for people is, hey, what are all the ways you might accidentally, unwittingly be causing a bit of mistrust?”

SOCIAL MEDIA MATTERS: Monte Besler, FRACN8R, joined TownSquare Media KLXX-AM SuperTalk 1270 Talk of the Town with Steve Bakken and guest co-host Jason Spiess.
The 43rd Annual API Chili Cook-off will be held Saturday, March 23, 2024 at the Raymond Family Community Center. This is one of two major fundraising activities for the Williston Basin API Chapter. Proceeds from our 2023 fundraisers were used to fund numerous other groups and activities in the local and surrounding communities.
The three run down different styles of chili from Cincinnati to Kansas City to Texas to Norwegian.
“I shouldn't say it's completely new but it (new styles) is really showing up in the last decade or so because prior to that our oil industry was largely homegrown,” Monte said. “We had a few people move in and out but during the the recent booms we have had people move in companies move in from all over the country so they brought a lot of their their home cuisine with them and that's been great you can you can have any any kind of chili you want from five alarm to you know what i call Norwegian chili.”
