https://youtu.be/d566d0YSwq8 Recorded on April 8th, 2026 PetroNerds is honored to be hosted by John Papola in episode 156 of the PetroNerds podcast. In this crossover podcast, PetroNerds CEO and energy economist Trisha Curtis joins John Papola on Dad Saves America in Austin, Texas, for a deep-dive conversation on the oil and natural gas industry, the global energy market, American energy dominance, and how geopolitical shocks — Iran and the Strait of Hormuz — affect prices at the pump. Trisha breaks down the numbers behind global oil and gas demand, including why the world produces and consumes roughly 100 million barrels of oil per day, why the United States is the largest crude oil producer in the world, and why America's energy position has reshaped global markets. Trisha frames oil as central to transportation and explains that when global production and consumption become unbalanced, prices move; she also notes that the U.S. is the world's largest crude oil producer by a wide margin. Trisha explains why oil and gas remain central to modern life, how fracking transformed U.S. energy production, what policymakers get wrong about renewables and subsidies, and why energy security is inseparable from economic growth, national security, and global power. Energy is not just another sector of the economy. It is the foundation for transportation, manufacturing, electricity, national security, and the modern standard of living. This episode is a practical energy primer for anyone who wants to understand why oil and gas still matter, why energy abundance is a strategic advantage, and why utopian thinking cannot replace physics, infrastructure, markets, or security. The views expressed in this episode are Trisha Curtis' own and do not reflect the views of the Department of Energy or the United States Government. John Papola has hosted many experts in the studio, including Jonathan Haidt, Dr. Drew, Michael Shellenberger, Bret Weinstein, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Adam Carolla. Topics covered: Oil and gas in everyday life Global oil demand and the 100-million-barrel-per-day market The relationship between GDP growth and energy consumption Why coal still matters Natural gas safety and infrastructure Energy density and transportation costs Food production, fertilizer, and ethanol The reality behind “drill baby drill” Fracing and the shale revolution California's oil policy Renewables, physics, and grid reliability Oil subsidies, inflation, and consumer prices Competition and monopoly claims in oil Iran, China, and the Strait of Hormuz Middle East stability and energy security Why utopian energy policy fails in the real world Learn more about PetroNerds:https://petronerds.com/ Watch PetroNerds on YouTube:https://youtube.com/@petronerds633 Follow Trisha Curtis on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/trisha-curtis-petronerds/ Follow Trisha Curtis on X:https://x.com/TrishaJCoffee?s=20 Dad Saves America YouTube Episode Page: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNFGie73VwM Dad Saves America episode page: https://www.dadsavesamerica.com/p/iran-china-and-the-war-for-oil-dominance Visit Dad Saves America:https://www.dadsavesamerica.com/
