As U.S.-Iran talks show little sign of progress, commercial traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remains sharply reduced, raising concerns about global energy markets and supply chains. Geoff Bennett speaks with energy analyst Daniel Yergin, vice chairman of S&P Global, for more on what a prolonged disruption could mean around the world.

The average price of gas in the U.S. hit a wartime high of $4.30 on Thursday, according to AAA. Bloomberg's Michael Regan breaks down the latest numbers. And, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz has sent global energy prices skyrocketing and led to oil and gas shortages in parts of the world. Economic historian, author and S&P Global vice chairman Daniel Yergin says the Hormuz oil shock will lead to a new global balance of power.

A few months ago, the oil market looked pretty serene. But the US-Iran war has upended global supplies and pushed energy security to the top of the policy agenda. Importers have realised they need to diversify their energy sources. What role will renewables have to play? And would a shift towards green energy just mean trading one bottleneck for another?

Chuck Todd opens with the harrowing story of two F-15 operators who went missing over Iran and had to be extracted by U.S. Special Forces — a dramatic rescue the administration is now using to obscure the larger failures of a war that is clearly not going well, starting with the fact that Defense Secretary Hegseth's description of "uncontested airspace" was demonstrably false and raises the most important question nobody in the Pentagon wants to answer: why did we need a rescue mission in the first place? He catalogs a weekend of Trump's unraveling: a Truth Social post telling Iran to "open the fuckin strait, you crazy bastards," a seemingly deliberate insult to Muslims with a sarcastic "praise be to allah" reference, and an unhinged Easter morning rant that Todd challenges Evangelicals to defend — all while the Strait of Hormuz remains closed after three weeks of empty threats, energy expert Daniel Yergin has called this the worst energy disruption in history, and control of the strait now gives Iran more leverage than a nuclear weapon ever would. Todd warns that the world economy is far more interconnected than during the 1970s oil shocks and that even if the war stopped today, it would take a year to restore supply chains to normal. He highlights Republican Senator John Curtis of Utah challenging the very premise of the war and drawing a direct parallel to Vietnam's gradual escalation, notes that Congress has just three weeks until the 60-day War Powers clause kicks in, and excoriates lawmakers for doing nothing while Trump threatens Iranian infrastructure in ways that could constitute war crimes under the Geneva Convention — a framework Pete Hegseth clearly doesn't care about. He closes with a quick dissection of Trump's executive order on college sports, which he dismisses as a glorified press release with no enforcement mechanism, no controlling legal authority, and zero chance of surviving legal challenges — just another document designed to generate talking points from an administration so unpopular the public won't even side with them on an issue where there's genuine bipartisan frustration. Then, Mike Pesca — the veteran journalist, podcaster, and host of The Gist — joins the Chuck Toddcast for a wide-ranging conversation that covers everything from the structural reforms American democracy desperately needs to why the NBA regular season is unwatchable. They dig into the emergence of the "never Trump media" ecosystem and argue that both parties have become fundamentally reactionary, with internal debates in each reduced to full resistance versus compromise. They make the case that partisan primaries are the single biggest driver of hyperpartisanship, that competitive districts would produce more reasonable candidates and debate which reforms could actually break the cycle. They note that if California's jungle primary produces a Republican governor, Democrats will reform the system within a year, and that with so many big-name Democrats in the crowded field, at least one major candidate needs to drop out before they cannibalize each other. The conversation shifts to what Democrats should do if they control Congress. Pesca argues that Democrats can't brand themselves as the alternative to the "do nothing GOP" and then do nothing themselves — a child tax credit expansion is something Democrats and JD Vance could theoretically agree on, and being seen as on the side of the consumer is both good policy and great politics. They zero in on surveillance pricing as the issue ripe for bipartisan action: airlines using your personal data to gouge you is gross and bills are already moving in state legislatures to ban digital price tags, though Chuck notes there are legitimate upsides to dynamic pricing based on supply and demand that shouldn't be thrown out with the bathwater. They discuss how consumer advocacy once gave news media enormous credibility and trust, how the public feels big tech has too much control over everything, and how creating a caucus of independents in the Senate could serve as a powerful fulcrum — since independent candidates shouldn't have to choose between Trump and Schumer to be effective. The episode closes with a surprisingly passionate sports segment where they agree that March Madness exposes how unwatchable the NBA regular season has become, that tanking and load management are destroying competitive integrity, and that urgency — the thing college basketball's single-elimination format delivers in abundance — is what creates truly great sports. Finally, Chuck hops into the ToddCast Time Machine to revisit the beginning and end of America’s participation in the Civil War & World War 1, and argues that the underlying disagreements of both conflicts have never been resolved. He also takes listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment and weighs in on the latest in sports. Link in bio or go to https://getsoul.com & enter code TODDCAST for 30% off your first order.

In this episode, host Michael dives into a crucial conversation with Daniel Yergin, about the Strait of Hormuz crisis and its far-reaching implications. They discuss the chokehold on global energy, the role of China and Russia, and the consequences of the Iranian's strategy. Michael also shares insights on the shale revolution and how it's given the US a strategic cushion to weather the crisis. The conversation touches on the renewable energy narrative collapse, the importance of energy dominance, and the potential consequences of the US not having a reliable energy source.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It was a day of major volatility in global energy markets and a moment of real concern for consumers. Oil prices surged overnight, coming close to $120 a barrel, but by the end of the trading day prices had fallen sharply. Still, the national average price of gasoline per gallon has risen nearly 50 cents since the Iran conflict began. Geoff Bennett discussed the developments with Daniel Yergin.

China's domination of minerals - especially the copper needed for electrification, data centres, robots, cellphones and defence technology - is pushing the United States to ramp up its control of oil and minerals worldwide, argues Daniel Yergin, one of the world's top experts in the economics of oil. In this episode, Yergin explains how Venezuela, Greenland, Iran, Russia and other issues are connected to the business of oil and the competition to control Earth's minerals. And while US President Donald Trump's motives in Venezuela and Greenland are unclear, Yergin says one thing is certain: The US is desperate to achieve supply chain independence from China.
Lately, everyone from Tony Blair to Daniel Yergin is calling for a “climate reset,” so I brought on clean-energy analyst Michael Liebreich to discuss his own, very different version. While others push expensive distractions, Liebreich argues that the inexorable growth of cheap renewables is already on track to displace fossil fuels, a “tortoise” strategy that will win without the need for crisis politics.

Everyone from energy executives to traders on Wall Street to policymakers across the US depend on accurate, timely information about energy production, consumption, and trends. At the heart of this critical infrastructure sits the US Energy Information Administration (EIA). Daniel Yergin, vice chairman of S&P Global, has called EIA's data the “gold standard.” But while the amount and complexity of energy data is growing, federal support for ensuring robust energy data collection is waning. The agency underwent substantial staffing cuts this spring — part of the Department of Government Efficiency's reductions. After the EIA's most recent Annual Energy Outlook forecast the growth of renewables, the Department of Energy criticized the findings. So how vulnerable is the agency to losing more support from the administration? What's at stake if EIA cannot retain or recruit people with expertise in not only traditional energy but emerging fields, like critical minerals? And who else stands to lose if the agency that provides national energy data collection and objective analysis falters? This week, Bill Loveless speaks to former EIA Administrator Adam Sieminski about the state of play at the EIA and what is at risk if support for the agency continues to erode. Adam is a senior advisor to the board at KAPSARC, a non-profit energy, economics, and sustainability think tank in Saudi Arabia, where he earlier served as president. He was the administrator of the EIA from 2012 to 2017. Prior to joining the government, Adam spent years as Deutsche Bank's chief energy economist and integrated oil company analyst.

Dwarkesh Patel is on a quest to know everything. He's using LLMs to enhance how he reads, learns, thinks, and conducts interviews. Dwarkesh is a podcaster who's interviewed a wide range of people, like Mark Zuckerberg, Tony Blair, and Marc Andreesen. Before conducting each of these interviews, Dwarkesh learns as much as he can about his guest and their area of expertise—AI hardware, tense geopolitical crises, and the genetics of human origins, to name a few. The most important tool in his learning arsenal?

In this insightful episode of the Energy Impacts podcast, David Blackmon sits down with renowned energy expert and author Dan Yergin to explore the evolving landscape of global energy. Yergin's best-selling books include “The New Map,” “The Quest,” and “The Prize.”In the fast moving 30-minute interview, Daniel and David unpack key takeaways from the recent CERAWeek conference, including the rising demand for electricity driven by AI and data centers, the U.S.'s growing influence in global LNG markets, and the strategic implications of rare earth mineral supply chains dominated by China.Yergin also discusses the urgent need for infrastructure reform, the long timelines for mining and nuclear deployment, and why the energy transition may be more of an “energy addition.” From geopolitical tensions to copper shortages, this conversation provides a comprehensive look at the forces reshaping energy policy, markets, and global power dynamics.Foreign Affairs “The Energy Transition Needs a Reality Check” op/ed by Yergin: https://www.ceraweek.com/en/news/press-releases/foreign-affairs-the-energy-transition-needs-a-reality-checkBooks by Daniel Yergin: https://www.amazon.com/Prize-Daniel-Yergin/dp/1847376460?adgrpid=186996878628&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=748008426888&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=14490381126824490089&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9191716&hvtargid=dsa-2414841787166&hydadcr=&mcid=&hvocijid=14490381126824490089--&hvexpln=67&tag=googhydr-20&hvsb=Healthmedia_d&hvcampaign=dsadeskCERAWeek Home Page: https://www.ceraweek.com/enS&P Global Study on The Future of Copper: https://cdn.ihsmarkit.com/www/pdf/0722/The-Future-of-Copper_Full-Report_14July2022.pdfS&P Global Report on Chinese Control of Supply Chains: https://www.spglobal.com/market-intelligence/en/news-insights/research/critical-minerals-sourcing-rises-trade-troublesHighlights of the Podcast00:01 - Introduction01:21 - CERAweek Themes03:43 - U.S. LNG as a Geopolitical Power05:20 - Pipeline Infrastructure & U.S. Gas Abundance07:26 - Strait of Hormuz & Geopolitical Stakes09:16 - U.S. Global Energy Role Post-WWII11:14 - Rare Earths & Mineral Security13:33 - Copper Shortage: “Copper in the Age of AI”15:21 - U.S. Permitting Crisis18:00 - Grid Strain & Nuclear Outlook20:33 - Solar & Wind Investment Timeline22:19 - Crypto and Industrial Power Demand23:46 - Ukraine War & NATO Shifts25:42 - Defense Spending vs. Energy Transition27:07 - Energy Transition: Reality vs. Aspirations29:15 - Looking Ahead
In this episode, we dive into the turbulent decade of the 1970s, exploring how the oil shocks and economic crises of the era shattered the postwar order in America. Drawing from historian Gary Gerstle's influential work The Rise and Fall of the Neoliberal Era, we examine how stagflation, energy insecurity, and geopolitical tensions fueled public disillusionment with Keynesian economics and paved the way for a neoliberal revolution.In This Episode:The 1973 and 1979 oil shocks and their devastating economic ripple effectsStagflation: why rising prices and stagnant growth confounded policymakersThe decline of faith in government economic managementHow energy crises exposed vulnerabilities in American global powerThe ideological groundwork for the rise of neoliberal leaders like Ronald Reagan and Margaret ThatcherGerstle's perspective on how these transformations reshaped the political and economic landscape for decades to comeAbout the Book: Gary Gerstle's The Rise and Fall of the Neoliberal Era offers a sweeping history of how neoliberalism rose to dominance in the late 20th century and why its influence may now be waning. The book connects domestic crises like the 1970s oil shocks to larger ideological shifts in American and global politics.Further Reading:Gerstle, Gary.

This week, our special guest is Daniel Yergin, Vice Chairman of S&P Global and Chairman of S&P's CERAWeek conference. Daniel is the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of “The Prize: The Epic Quest for Oil, Money, and Power”. His most recent book is “The New Map: Energy, Climate, and the Clash of Nations”. Please note that the interview with Daniel Yergin was recorded on June 11th, before the Israel and Iran conflict began on June 13th, 2025. Here are some of the questions Peter and Jackie asked Daniel Yergin: Why did you describe the energy transition as troubled and in need of a pragmatic path forward? Do you believe there is a growing consensus that the “fast energy transition” scenario is unrealistic? Do you anticipate Europe softening its green policies and subsidies or extending timelines for net-zero goals? How do you foresee the trade war and competition between the G2 (the United States and China) evolving? How dominant is China in clean energy, and what implications does this hold for the United States' ability to compete? What is OPEC's motivation for reintroducing supply to the market during a period of weaker demand? What strategy would you recommend for Canada to address US trade pressures and potential annexation threats?

Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan and Carl Cannon discuss California governor Gavin Newsom's televised address criticizing Donald Trump's speech to the troops at Fort Bragg. They also talk about the results of last night's New Jersey primary, and a plan buried within Trump's budget to give every U.S. baby $1,000 upon birth. Next, RCP contributor Maggie Miller talks to Daniel Yergin, author of "The New Map: Energy, Climate and the Clash of Nations" about meeting America's current and future energy needs. And finally, Carl Cannon talks to Jackie Cushman, chair of the Adams Memorial Commission and president of the Adams Memorial Fund, about a planned memorial on the National Mall to honor President John Adams and other members of his family.
‘The Troubled Energy Transition' is the title of a recent essay in Foreign Affairs, the influential foreign-policy magazine. Although some important progress is being made in the transition to renewables, fossil fuels are still dominating the energy system. Rather than replacing conventional energy sources, the growth of renewables is coming on top of that of the conventional ones. What has been unfolding is not so much an ‘energy transition' as an ‘energy addition', the authors write. So how can the world move forward? How should we move forward? And what about Europe? To answer these questions, I'm joined by someone the New York Times calls 'America's most influential energy expert'. He is a leading authority on energy, geopolitics and the global economy, a best-selling author, Pulitzer Prize-winner for his book The Prize: The Epic Quest For Oil, Money & Power. His latest book is called The New Map: Energy, Climate and the Clash of Nations. My guest In Search of Europe's Energy Future is Daniel Yergin, Vice Chairman of S&P Global.

Daniel Yergin is right to call it the Energy Addition. In an essay in Foreign Affairs called The Troubled Energy Transition, he notes that since 1990 hydrocarbons have dropped from 85% of primary energy to around 80% today. That can hardly be called a transition. Since 2000 global energy consumption has increased from 397 Exajoules […]
What's ahead for 2025? In the first ESG Insider podcast episode of the new year, we're talking to Pulitzer Prize-winning author Daniel Yergin about the outlook for the energy transition in a landscape of geopolitical unrest and climate change. “The global political situation is very unsettled, and that's going to reverberate on energy transition, on sustainability and on energy markets,” says Daniel, who is Vice Chairman of S&P Global and Chairman of CERAWeek, the annual S&P Global conference that has been described as “the Davos of energy.” Daniel leads the event's Executive Conference and tells us what to expect when energy, climate and technology leaders from the public and private sectors convene in Houston, Texas March 10-14 for CERAWeek 2025. In 2025 many climate and energy transition conversations will center around emerging technologies and solutions. This is the focus of the other half of the CERAWeek conference, known as the Innovation Agora, and we talk to Atul Arya to learn more about this landscape and what's ahead. Atul is Senior Vice President and Chief Energy Strategist at S&P Global Commodity Insights, where he hosts the CERAWeek Podcast. “Our goal with Agora is to move the conversation, move the technologies, and ultimately help companies solve the climate problem while meeting the energy demands,” Atul tells us.

With about six months to go before the UN's COP29 climate change conference in Azerbaijan, we're talking with Pulitzer Prize-winning author Daniel Yergin about the role that diplomacy will play in facilitating solutions to climate change and the global energy transition. “Climate diplomacy has been really central to where we are right now in terms of both focusing on the issue and building international consensus and collaboration, and I think inclusivity is part of it, too,” says Daniel, who is Vice Chairman of S&P Global and Chairman of CERAWeek, the annual S&P Global conference in Houston, Texas that has been described as “the Davos of energy.” In this episode of the ESG Insider podcast, Daniel shares key takeaways from CERAWeek, where he was on stage with speakers like US Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm, Microsoft Co-Founder Bill Gates and CEOs from some of the world's largest energy companies. In our interview, he talks about the role of energy security, affordability and reliability in the current fraught geopolitical landscape. He also talks about balancing these demands with the urgency of climate change. And he discusses the role that technology will play in facilitating solutions to energy transition challenges. “The solutions are not going to be words or declarations — they're going to be technology and engineering,” Daniel says.

On Tuesday's show: Harris County is paying millions to outsource many of its inmates, sending hundreds of people to privately owned, out-of-state prisons — one of which is accredited by an organization with an “irreconcilable conflict of interest,” according to a congressional investigation. News 88.7's Lucio Vasquez explains how the county is "surrendering control" of its inmates to private prisons with questionable oversight. Also this hour: As the annual CERAWeek conference continues this week in Houston, S&P Global's Daniel Yergin discusses the role mining may need to play in the global energy transition. Then, we learn how Houston researchers help patients with the rarest diseases find elusive medical answers.

Hydrocarbons have been a key driver of geopolitics and globalization over the past century. Even in the past decade, we have seen how US shale production and China's energy security policies have dramatically changed the world. Now, peak demand and the energy transition is set to upend decades of global policy and economics – with a huge impact on the commodity markets. Will battery metals become the crucial natural resource? Will the electron revolution reverse globalization? We are delighted to have as our guest, Pulitzer Prize winning author and Vice Chairman of IHS Markit, Daniel Yergin at the time. We discuss Daniel's latest book – The New Map, Energy, Climate and the Clash of Nations and explore his take on the future of hydrocarbons and the impact of energy transition.To find out more about HC and our talent advisory services in the energy & commodities sector visit www.hcinsider.global To connect with our host Paul Chapman, you can find him at www.linkedin.com/in/paulchapmanhc/

It means we can move away from consuming the carbon rich oil into our atmosphere… but it also means that we are going to need way more other stuff from the under the ground than we currently even know about. It will require mining 100's of more sacred sites and 100's of more beautiful vistas. Copper, lithium, cobalt and literally 100's of other rare earths are all necessary components of batteries, electric cars, trucks, boats, even leaf-blowers… and this for a scale for 8 billion, soon to be 9 billion people…If a sacred religious sight is built atop enough copper to secure your domestic supply… should you mine it?If thousands of tonnes of lithium is built under a unique flower, almost certain to go extinct if you extract… should you do it?And if you decide to play by environmental rules while everyone doesn't… are you doing what's right in the short term at the cost of whats best in the long?These questions consume the book, and as well, this conversation.So here is a veteran energy journalist for Rueters, and author of the War Below… Ernest Scheyder.War Below – Ernest Scheyder00:00 – Understanding Ernest Scheyder's ‘War Below'02:54 – Daniel Yergin & Geothermal Energy05:21 – It's Trade-Off's All The Way Down (Mining, Policy Hypocrisy)28:08 – Ernest's Hesitation To Offer His Opinion36:10 – Waste, Death & Bi-Products Of Mining54:19 – Greenwashing & Child Labour1:06:16 – Appreciation For The Miners1:08:58 – Economic Protectionism1:11:18 – Robert Friedland1:12:36 – Final 3 Questions… Serendipity, Fictional Character, Country Bullish OnCurious Things Mentioned During The EpisodeGeothermal Starter PackErik Townsend – Energy TransitionInvestigative Journalist Starter PackInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/ryanfhogg/

Fifty years ago today, on October 17, 1973, a group of Arab oil ministers announced an embargo on oil exports to the United States and other countries in retaliation for America's support of Israel in the Arab-Israeli War. What followed is seared into the American psyche: Fuel shortages across the country left drivers waiting for hours at the gas pump. Even the White House's Christmas tree remained unlit as a sign of austerity. The Arab Oil Embargo has defined energy policy in Washington ever since. In the decades following, markets evolved and governments developed new tools to deal with fuel shortages. But underlying risks remain. What is the legacy of the Arab Oil Embargo? How do today's energy security risks compare to those from 1973? And how does the climate crisis complicate efforts to address them? This week host Jason Bordoff talks with Dr. Daniel Yergin about the legacy of the Arab Oil Embargo, the current crisis in the Middle East, and the outlook for energy security. Dan is the vice chairman of S&P Global, a major financial information and analytics company. He is the author of several books on the history of energy, including his newest, The New Map: Energy, Climate and the Clash of Nations and his Pulitzer Prize winner, The Prize. He is widely regarded as one of the world's foremost experts on energy, economics, and geopolitics. Dan spoke at the Center on Global Energy Policy on October 11, 2023 for an event marking the 50th anniversary of the Arab Oil Embargo. His keynote remarks can be found here.

Alan Sudbrock, the President of Gas Technology and past president of the Midstream Natural Gas Producers Association, tells the true story of the historic pipeline known as “The Big Inch,” without which the Allies would never have defeated Nazi Germany. Few remember that the German “Wolf Pack” deployed along the U.S. Gulf Coast and East Coast, successfully sinking 46 U.S. tankers carrying Texas crude for the war effort. The crude spills shellacked the Caribbean islands, and the Allies became desperate for oil. What to do? An historic and heroic effort to build a massive pipeline from Texas to New Jersey saved the day. Crossing 233 rivers, lakes, and creeks, the largest pipeline in the world erected across America in only 350 days, driving the nail into the coffin of the Nazi war machine and changing the course of world history for a century. - - - - - How things have changed since WW2. Pipelines are now demonized and fossil fuels considered nonessential, though the world uses more each year for things like petrochemicals that give us modern sanitation, pharmaceuticals, food preservatives, electronics…all things that cannot be made from the electrons of a wind or solar farm. Then and now, no country can remain a superpower or win a war without energy dominance with fossil fuels and nuclear energy, as foreign funders of the U.S. green movement well know. Jacki pulls lessons from the past and a glimpse into the future from Daniel Yergin's “The New Map: Energy, Climate, and the Clash of Nations.”
