Cold weather always tells the truth about energy.

In Episode 216 of The Jay Young Show, Jay Young and co-host Jordan Soto break down what the latest U.S. cold snap is revealing about natural gas, grid reliability, and energy reality, as prices jump and demand surges.

Jay explains why winter weather stress-tests the system, why renewables struggle in extreme cold, and why natural gas continues to carry the grid when reliability matters most.
