Oil prices may be shaky, but the future of energy looks strong. That's according to Rob Thummel, managing director and senior portfolio manager at Tortoise Capital.

In this episode of Talk ETFs, Thummel and Sumit Roy, senior analyst at etf.com, discuss how the shift toward electrification, AI-driven demand and natural gas is reshaping the energy sector.

He also walks through Tortoise Capital’s two exchange-traded funds—the [**Tortoise Essential Energy Fund (TPZ)**](https://www.etf.com/TPZ) and the [**Tortoise North American Pipeline Fund (TPYP)**](https://www.etf.com/TPYP)—and explains how they’re positioned to benefit from infrastructure growth, rising exports and long-term electricity needs.
