The Jones Act has been messing with American shipping for over a century, driving up costs, stifling competition, and forcing bizarre workarounds, like Hawaii importing oil from Africa instead of Texas. Chuck sits down with Colin Grabow from the Cato Institute to break down how this outdated law makes everything from groceries to gas more expensive, why it costs a mind-blowing $333M to build a U.S. ship when the same one costs $55M overseas, and what can actually be done about it.

A little-known U.S. law called the Jones Act shapes climate tech in weird ways — like hindering offshore wind deployment and pushing up energy prices. The law, part of the Merchant Marine Act of 1920, requires all cargo shipped between U.S. ports to be carried by ships that meet strict standards. Those ships must be built in American shipyards, owned by an American company, registered in the U.S., and crewed by a majority American crew. As a result, building cargo ships in the U.S., and operating them between U.S. ports, is way more expensive than building and operating ships in other countries — and relatively few U.S. ships get built. So what are the impacts on climate tech? In this episode, Shayle talks to Colin Grabow, research fellow at the Cato Institute's Herbert A. Stiefel Center for Trade Policy Studies. They cover topics like: How the Jones Act increases the money and time required to deploy offshore wind turbines Why it costs less to ship U.S. oil and gas abroad than to domestic markets How it pushes domestic shipping to rely on trucks and trains instead of ships The history of the act and potential ways it could change Recommended Resources: WIRED: The US Has Big Plans for Wind Energy—but an Obscure 1920s Law Is Getting in the Way Cato Institute: Jones Act Leaves New England Vulnerable to Wintertime Calamity Cato Institute: Environmental Costs of the Jones Act Are growing concerns over AI's power demand justified?

The Jones Act is always in the top ten for worst US economic policies.  Passed in 1920, it basically restricts all goods and services transported between US sports to be on US built, owned and crewed vessels.  While that sounds great it skyrockets costs on US citizens particularly those in Puerto Rico, Alaska and Hawaii.  Why does this matter to us energy geeks?  Because the US doesn't have a Jones Act compliant ship that can transport LNG, Massachusetts imports LNG from primarily Trinidad but occasionally from Russia.  WTF?!?   Colin is an expert on the Jones Act and breaks it all down for us.

In the weeks following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, there was a flurry of articles, commentaries and videos predicting that the event signaled the end of globalization. Part of this prediction was based on policymakers and business leaders seeing the risks of global supply chains in countries with dissimilar political, economic and human rights alignments. What does the push to onshore and friend shore clean energy supply chains mean for global trade? How can trade be used as a tool to address climate change?  Allegra Dawes hosts this episode with Ambassador Jayme White, the Deputy United States Trade Representative; Peter Rashish, the Vice President and Director of the Geoeconomics program at the American German Institute; and Colin Grabow, a research fellow with the Herbert A.

You have to listen to our podcast, get a copy of the paper, and call your elected officials. This single Act can do more for energy policy than anything else in the short term. A possible reason that It has not been repealed yet is because of lobbyists in Washington. We all know that lobbyists don't always have the United States citizen's interests at heart.I have always said it is ok to complain, but have a solution to any problem that you complain about. We are in the biggest crisis the world has ever seen. Energy is the single best resource to elevate humanity from poverty. There are over 3 billion people without clean fuel to cook and about 940 million without any electricity at all. You have to have low-cost, sustainable energy with the least amount of impact on the environment for everyone.Here is the catch, in the past 20 years the renewable energy migration was forced on the disproportionally impacted communities and countries through printed money, and false information regarding the feasibility of the current technology capabilities of renewables.I would like to get a panel with Colin and any member of congress that wants to talk about energy solutions and get it in front of the voters.

Currently Hawaii is almost wholly reliant on foreign fuel sources, due to Jones Act restrictions on shipping goods between U.S. ports that make it too expensive to buy U.S. oil. Also, in the event of an emergency, there also are too few Jones Act oil tankers available to ship fuel to Hawaii from the U.S. mainland.

Why are Puerto Ricans buying liquid natural gas from the Russkies? Why are Hawaiian ranchers transporting cattle to the mainland with planes? Why is an Alaskan seafood company giving tons of fish a jaunt on 100 feet of rail track located entirely inside a Canadian port? To answer these absurd questions, the guys were thrilled to be joined by Colin Grabow, a policy analyst at the Cato Institute's Herbert A. Stiefel Center for Trade Policy Studies and one of the authors of The Case Against the Jones Act. Together they discuss the Jones Act's origins, its many harms, why it remains in place, and beyond #EndTheJonesAct, what can be done about it? If you would like to learn more, Colin and his primarily anti-Jones Act thoughts can be found on Twitter @cpgrabow.

How would an industry react if there was such an artificial control on where something could be made? Well look no further than this episode and America's domestic shipping industry, more specifically the Jones Act, that mandates all ships being used to transport goods domestically in the US, be built in America and operated by mostly Americans. What the reasoning was when this Act was put in place, and how far the US has fallen since the industrial revolution in ship building globally, set the stage for the modern pushback and general lazy obedience to the status quo argument and political will. As my returning guest Colin Grabow policy analyst at The Cato Institute details, forcing ships to be built in America only, breeds a lack of specialization for the US' ship yards, which then means a lack of efficiency and lack of standardization, resulting in lower quality ships and higher costs. Listen in to learn what the Jones Act is, and why we should seriously be considering it's repeal.

How did it come to be that there's a coordinated effort involving many actors within our government, to fix the price, supply and trade of sugar within the borders of the United States? My interview today is with Colin Grabow, Policy Analyst at the Cato Institute. Who's work focuses on domestic forms of trade protectionism. Colin has studied the sugar cartel in the US extensively, and shares his knowledge of how it got started, what this ends up meaning for consumers and industry, as well as the political situation that's formed this and continues to keep it in place. The whole thing honestly sounds like a script for a movie based on monopoly.

Trump’s Trade War

Trump isn’t like most Republican presidents, but his views on trade have been an unusually firm departure from his party. Despite long championing free trade, the GOP is now led by a man who seems deeply skeptical of it. Last week, he upended trade negotiations with China by levying tariffs on $200 billion in Chinese goods, carrying out a threat he’d issued just before a Chinese delegation visited the White House. On Monday, China retaliated with tariffs on $60 billion in U.S. goods. A trade war between the world’s two largest economies seems to be here. And the risks are dire. Financial institutions have warned that "a trade war could cause a global recession," but, as the president infamously tweeted last year, he thinks “trade wars are good, and easy to win.” On this week’s Radio Atlantic, staff writer Isaac Dovere sits down with Colin Grabow, a trade expert from the libertarian Cato Institute, to discuss the two trade battles at hand: one between the U.S. and China, and the other within the Republican party.
