Buried underground in caverns dug out of salt on the Gulf coast of the US are millions of barrels worth of crude oil. This is the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, built up in the late 1970s.Globally, at the end of 2025, global strategic oil stockpiles were estimated at 2.5 billion barrels, with China holding the most.With the Strait of Hormuz now closed for more than two months, global oil supplies are being squeezed. In March, as part of a co-ordinated move by members of the International Energy Agency to release 400 million barrels of oil to prevent price spikes, the US began releasing 172 million barrels from its strategic reserves.In this episode, we speak to Scott Montgomery, a former petroleum geologist who lectures in international studies at the University of Washington, about why these oil stockpiles were built up in the first place, and how they work.This episode was written and produced by Gemma Ware and Katie Flood with production assistance from Katie Flood.

According to the International Energy Agency, around 25% of the world's seaborne oil trade is transiting through the Strait of Hormuz, and the options to bypass it are limited. According to the UN Trade and Development Organization, around 30% of global seaborne fertilizer volumes pass through the Strait of Hormuz. Both have been significantly impacted by the US-Iran war.

In April, the retail penetration rate of new energy passenger vehicles in China surpassed 60 percent for the first time, reaching 61.4 percent. Internal combustion vehicles are increasingly becoming the minority technology in one of the world's largest automobile markets.今年 4 月，我国新能源乘用车零售渗透率首次突破 60%，达到 61.4%。在全球最大汽车市场之一的中国，燃油车正逐渐沦为非主流车型。This transformation is being driven by simultaneous advances in multiple battery technologies in China. While lithium iron phosphate batteries continue to dominate the sector because of their lower costs and improving safety profile, research is accelerating in solid-state batteries, sodium-ion batteries and iron-based flow batteries for large-scale energy storage.这一变革得益于国内多项电池技术同步取得突破。磷酸铁锂电池凭借成本更低、安全性能持续优化的优势持续占据市场主流；与此同时，固态电池、钠离子电池以及适用于大规模储能的铁基液流电池的研发步伐也在不断加快。Over the past five years, the unit cost of power batteries in China has decreased by 30 percent, their lifespan has increased by 40 percent, and charging speeds have more than tripled. The country is transforming the battery — the most expensive and technologically sensitive component of an electric vehicle — into a mass-market commodity with rapidly improving performance. It's a story of scale, chemistry and market selection.过去五年，我国动力电池单位成本下降 30%，使用寿命提升 40%，充电速度提升两倍以上。电池是电动汽车成本最高、技术门槛最高的核心部件，如今我国正将其打造为性能持续升级的大众化产品，这背后是产业规模、材料技术与市场选择共同作用的结果。China's power battery output reached 310 gigawatt-hours in the first two months of 2026, up 22 percent year-on-year. Lithium iron phosphate batteries alone accounted for nearly 115 gigawatt-hours of production in February, far exceeding ternary lithium batteries. This reflects the emergence of a manufacturing ecosystem capable of relentless innovation and continuous cost compression.2026 年前两个月，我国动力电池产量达 310 吉瓦时，同比增长 22%。其中 2 月磷酸铁锂电池产量接近 115 吉瓦时，远超三元锂电池。这一数据体现出我国已形成具备持续创新、不断降本能力的动力电池产业生态。Meanwhile, researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences recently reported progress in iron-based flow batteries that are capable of more than 6,000 charging cycles without measurable degradation. Because iron is far cheaper and more abundant than lithium, such technologies could become important not only for electric vehicles but also for grid-scale electricity storage as renewable energy capacity expands globally.与此同时，中国科学院科研团队近期在铁基液流电池领域取得进展，该电池可完成 6000 次以上充放电循环，性能无明显衰减。铁元素相比锂元素价格更低、储量更丰富，随着全球可再生能源装机规模不断扩大，这类技术不仅可应用于电动汽车，也将在电网级储能领域发挥重要作用。The consequences for traditional automakers are profound. Many foreign automotive brands have lost their market share in China. The problem is not merely slower adaptation. Many foreign manufacturers are struggling to match the speed of innovation, cost efficiency and software integration achieved by Chinese EV makers. The International Energy Agency expects electric and hybrid vehicles to account for nearly 30 percent of global car sales this year, driven partly by fuel price pressures and falling battery costs.这场变革对传统车企影响深远。众多海外汽车品牌在华市场份额不断萎缩，问题并不仅仅在于转型滞后。海外车企在创新速度、成本控制以及软件融合能力上，已难以追赶中国新能源车企的发展步伐。受燃油价格波动、电池成本下降等因素推动，国际能源署预计，今年全球电动及混动汽车销量占比将接近 30%。China's advantage in the sector lies in integration. Chinese companies are competitive in large segments of the industry, including battery materials, cell manufacturing, software systems and vehicle assembly. This vertical integration enables faster iteration cycles, lower marginal costs and quicker commercialization of innovation.我国新能源汽车产业的核心优势在于全产业链整合。国内企业在电池材料、电芯制造、车载软件、整车组装等多个关键环节均具备竞争力。这种垂直整合模式能够缩短产品迭代周期、降低边际成本，加快创新技术落地商用。More important, China has embedded the EV industry within a broader national system organized around data, digital infrastructure and industrial coordination. EVs in China are increasingly becoming mobile computing platforms connected to payment systems, mapping services, charging networks, logistics chains and urban management technologies.更为重要的是，我国将新能源汽车产业融入到以数据、数字基建、产业协同为支撑的国家综合体系之中。如今国内的新能源汽车正逐步转变为移动智能终端，可对接支付系统、导航服务、充电网络、物流体系以及城市管理平台。This reflects a distinctive combination of government policy and market competition. Industrial policies created the initial conditions through subsidies, charging infrastructure and research funding. What transformed the sector was the interaction between enormous domestic demand and highly competitive companies forced to innovate constantly on cost, efficiency and technology.这一发展格局是政策引导与市场竞争有机结合的成果。产业政策通过补贴扶持、充电网络建设、研发资金支持，为行业发展奠定了基础；而庞大的国内市场需求，叠加企业间激烈的市场竞争，倒逼行业在成本、效能、技术上持续创新，推动产业实现跨越式发展。China's EV ecosystem also benefits from unmatched industrial clustering; battery makers, software developers, semiconductor suppliers and assembly plants operate within tightly integrated regional supply chains. Data generated by millions of connected vehicles feed directly into the AI-driven optimization of battery management, autonomous driving systems and energy efficiency.完善的产业集群也是我国新能源汽车生态的一大优势。电池企业、软件开发商、芯片供应商与整车厂形成了高度协同的区域供应链。数百万台联网车辆产生的海量数据，借助人工智能技术，持续优化电池管理、自动驾驶系统与车辆能效表现。Such system-level integration may ultimately prove even more consequential than low battery prices. For instance, on Monday, Huawei unveiled the Tau Scaling Law — a new semiconductor principle that uses logic-folding technology to continuously compress signal propagation delays. By 2031, high-end chips developed under this breakthrough — which integrates national strategy, enterprise R&D, and industrial clusters — could reportedly achieve a transistor density equivalent to the 1.4-nanometer process.这种体系化整合带来的价值，最终或将超越单纯的电池低价优势。例如，华为于本周一发布陶氏缩放定律，这是一项全新的半导体技术原理，依托逻辑折叠技术持续缩短信号传输延迟。据悉，这项融合国家战略、企业研发与产业集群优势的技术突破，有望在 2031 年打造出晶体管密度达到 1.4 纳米制程水平的高端芯片。penetration /ˌpenəˈtreɪʃn/n. 渗透率；渗透dominate /ˈdɒmɪneɪt/v. 占据主导地位；支配degradation /ˌdeɡrəˈdeɪʃn/n. 退化；衰减integration /ˌɪntɪˈɡreɪʃn/n. 整合；融合

The Iran war has caused the worst energy crisis in history, according to the International Energy Agency. It's been politically unpopular in the US too ahead of crucial mid-term elections in November. So, even after it ends, could this war have long-lasting implications?

Today's Headlines: Thomas Massie lost his primary to Trump-backed Ed Gallrein, and Trump followed up by endorsing Ken Paxton over sitting Senator John Cornyn in Texas — picking the very crazy over the more traditional crazy, as is on-brand. Speaking of people who can't stop themselves, Trump demanded a DOJ investigation into Maryland's mail-in ballots over a completely routine reissuing error, because Maryland didn't vote for him and apparently that requires a federal explanation. On organized resistance, the NAACP launched an "Out of Bounds" campaign urging Black athletes to withhold support from college sports programs in states eliminating Black voting representation — a direct hit on the south's most lucrative programs, which should get their attention. Turning to the grift of the week, Trump's $1.776 billion "Antiweaponization Fund" keeps getting worse, with acting AG Todd Blanche confirming January 6th insurrectionists "wouldn't be excluded" from filing claims, P. Diddy's publicist already exploring eligibility, and the whole thing requiring only 2 out of 5 board members to approve any claim with zero fraud recourse — so that's airtight. On the war front, the Senate's war powers resolution finally passed 50-47 on the eighth attempt thanks to three absent Republicans and Bill Cassidy switching his vote the week after losing his primary, while the head of the International Energy Agency warned that global oil supplies are shrinking fast with only weeks of inventory left, right as fuel prices spike at the start of travel season — great timing all around. Closer to home, the Trump administration rolled back EPA limits on forever chemicals in drinking water affecting over 200 million Americans, a Brookings analysis found that roughly 75% of the 100,000 children separated from parents during Trump's immigration crackdown are likely US citizens, and Trump signed an executive order directing banks to vet customers for immigration status — though banks lobbied it down to advisory only, because their money is still green either way. And in the one piece of good news, 30,000 New York City hotel housekeepers secured a contract raising average pay to over $100,000 a year by 2034, which is the most functional thing to happen all week.

In this episode, host Eklavya Gupte explores how the war in the Middle East has exposed Asia's deep reliance on fossil fuels while also accelerating the region's energy transition. Ruchira Singh, energy transition editor at Platts, part of S&P Global Energy, speaks with Nobuo Tanaka, chair of the steering committee at the Innovation for Cool Earth Forum and former executive director of the International Energy Agency, about the emerging dynamics between petrostates and electrostates, and where Asia stands on the threshold of its energy future. Echoing the 1970s oil shocks that gave rise to the LNG market, Tanaka believes this crisis will spark another tectonic shift, elevating renewables to the mainstream and fast-track Asia's electrification. From faster electric vehicle adoption to expanding low-carbon hydrogen trade and strengthened regional collaboration, Asia is poised to respond with a decisive shift toward cleaner, more resilient energy systems, he says.

Dr. Marissa Heisel joins Brian Nichols to break down why WebMD is making women sicker, not healthier... and why the self-diagnosing epidemic is exploding right now. After 27 years as a holistic chiropractor and midwifery-trained practitioner, Dr. Heisel has watched women trade their inner knowing for a search bar. The result? More anxiety, worse outcomes, and a generation of women who can't trust the one doctor who actually lives inside them. Inside this episode, we expose the uncomfortable truth nobody on cable news will touch... how the Rockefeller medicine system buried homeopathy, why Canadian chiropractors got a letter in March 2020 ordering them to stop discussing the immune system, and the specific phrase Dr. Heisel says is being used like a spell on women's health right now. So what happens when you keep outsourcing your body to people who don't live in it? Your kids inherit the same fear. The next generation grows up unable to discern truth from narrative. And when "Lockdowns 2.0" rolls in dressed up as a fuel shortage or a food shortage... most people will comply because they've never learned to trust the one source that can't be censored. Their own gut. Stick around for the 1913 reveal that explains why your doctor never asks about your stress (11:42), the moment Dr. Heisel breaks down what's coming next from the International Energy Agency (27:23), and her final prescription that costs zero dollars and works in any season (32:31).

Dr. Fatih Birol, the Executive Director of the International Energy Agency, has been advising world leaders through this historic crisis, but he recently said that this one will have "permanent consequences."

Today's top stories, with context, in just 15 minutes.On today's podcast:1) Brent oil rallied to a four-year high after Axios reported that US President Trump will receive a briefing on new military options for action in Iran. The US and Iran have maintained their blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, with the conflict in the Middle East called the biggest supply shock in history by the International Energy Agency.2) Alphabet's Google is seeing a clear payoff from its AI spending, with solid growth at its cloud computing unit and a "meaningful acceleration in growth" driven by demand for its AI software and infrastructure. Meta Platforms is lagging behind, with its shares tumbling more than 6% after the company boosted full-year capital expenditures, and its consumer AI app being slower to take off. The four companies, including Amazon and Microsoft, are expected to spend as much as $725 billion in 2026, with a key question being whether that massive spending is providing tangible results.3) Shares of Bill Ackman's Pershing Square USA Ltd. plunged 18% in its debut after the combined initial public offering raised $5 billion. The $5 billion haul was the bare minimum to keep early investors locked into the deal, and fell short of the $25 billion that Pershing Square sought to bring in. Pershing Square USA deserves to trade at a premium to its net assets over time if the newly listed closed-end fund delivers the same outperformance as the hedge fund firm has in the past, Ackman said.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The head of the International Energy Agency has warned that the world is "facing the biggest energy crisis in history" due to the Middle East conflict, calling on governments to design energy policies focused on the industrial sector.

The Iran war has closed the Strait of Hormuz almost completely. The head of the International Energy Agency said that the war is causing the biggest energy crisis in history. Professor Richard Wolff and Brian Becker discuss.Professor Richard Wolff is an author & co-founder of the organization Democracy at Work. You can find his work at rdwolff.com.

Today's Headlines: Trump announced a 10-day Lebanon-Israel ceasefire, claimed the Iran war is "going swimmingly," and said Iran agreed to hand over nuclear material — which Iran has not confirmed. The head of the International Energy Agency warned Europe has roughly six weeks of jet fuel left due to the Strait of Hormuz situation, with possible flight cancellations and energy shortages ahead. Congress failed for the third time to pass a War Powers resolution to curb the Iran war, this time losing 214-213. At $10 billion a week, the White House budget director refused to say how much the war will cost, explaining that costs "fluctuate." It was a full day of congressional hearings. RFK Jr. faced the first of seven back-to-back days of testimony. Trump nominated an actual doctor — a 24-year public health veteran — to lead the CDC, which is genuinely surprising.

The head of the International Energy Agency warned on Thursday that Europe could run out of jet fuel in few as six weeks. The continent is the biggest consumer of jet fuel shipped through the Strait of Hormuz, and ongoing closures in the strait could lead to swaths of flight cancellations. Also on the program: we discuss shifting expectations for American universities, our aging first-time homebuyer population, and changes at Netflix.

The head of the International Energy Agency warned on Thursday that Europe could run out of jet fuel in few as six weeks. The continent is the biggest consumer of jet fuel shipped through the Strait of Hormuz, and ongoing closures in the strait could lead to swaths of flight cancellations. Also on the program: we discuss shifting expectations for American universities, our aging first-time homebuyer population, and changes at Netflix.

Eoghan Corry, Editor of Travel Extra, discusses the warning from the International Energy Agency that Europe might have only six weeks of jet fuel remaining.

That's a warning from the International Energy Agency boss, Fatih Birol as the Middle East conflict continues to disrupt energy supplies. So what could that mean for airlines and travel?Plus, how did China's economy grow by 5%, faster than expected despite the Iran war?And Australia's fuel supplies face added pressure after a major fire at one of the country's two oil refineries.

AP Washington correspondent Sagar Meghani reports on a sobering picture of the Iran war's economic impacts from the International Energy Agency's chief.

European airlines could run out of jet fuel in six weeks' time. That's the stark warning from the head of the International Energy Agency, Fatih Birol, who says passengers should expect fewer flights and higher prices. Carriers are already reducing their flight schedules ahead of the summer holiday season. Also in the show: European officials urge governments not to forget the Ukraine war, saying that Russia's economy cannot be allowed to benefit from the energy shock. 

The news agenda this year has been entirely dominated by energy related stories, whether it's the war in Europe being pursued by Russia — formerly Europe's most significant energy provider — the U.S. capturing the head of state of Venezuela — which has some of the biggest oil reserves in the world — or the ongoing attack by Israel and the U.S. on Iran and all its ramifications. But there is also another story, which is the long term rift between the U.S. and the rest of the world about whether and how fast we should be addressing climate change.   This week on Cleaning Up, Michael Liebreich is joined by Dr Fatih Birol, executive director of the International Energy Agency, for his third appearance on the podcast. He discusses the International Energy Agency's integral role in trying to steer the world through the current energy crisis, how he sees the global energy system change in response to the crisis, and how his organisation is facing up to criticism from the US over its net-zero scenarios. Fatih and Michael discuss: Why the current crisis could surpass the oil shocks of the 1970s How the International Energy Agency is helping stabilize global markets   Efficiency measures and the need to reopen the Strait of Hormuz Why solar, batteries, and nuclear may surge amid the chaos  Why countries are looking toward coal to fill the gap Whether energy security is now overtaking climate as the top priority The growing divide between the U.S. and global institutions on climate policy And why Birol insists: “Data always wins.” As Executive Director of the International Energy Agency, Fatih has positioned the Agency at the centre of global efforts to advance a secure, affordable, and sustainable energy system. Dr Birol joined the IEA in the mid-1990s and progressed from junior analyst to Chief Economist, where he oversaw the flagship World Energy Outlook.  He has been included in the TIME100 list of the world's most influential figures and recognised by Forbes as one of the world's most influential figures in energy. He chairs the World Economic Forum's Energy Advisory Board and is an honorary life member of Galatasaray Football Club. This episode was recorded on March 19, 2026.

The ongoing U.S.-Israel conflict with Iran, now in its 37th day, constitutes the most pressing national emergency management concern at present. As the self-imposed pause by President Trump on potential strikes against Iranian energy infrastructure nears its expiration, analysts describe the closure of the Strait of Hormuz as the most significant energy supply disruption since the 1970s oil crisis. Concurrently, the rise in gasoline prices by approximately 37% since the commencement of the conflict underscores the profound economic implications of this situation. Emergency managers are thus urged to closely monitor fuel supply chains, logistics, and mutual aid costs in this increasingly volatile environment. Moreover, the episode further delineates the heightened wildfire risks across various states, exacerbated by climatic anomalies and ongoing drought conditions, necessitating vigilant preparedness and response strategies.Takeaways:* The ongoing U.S.-Israel conflict with Iran has now reached a critical 37-day mark, presenting significant national emergency challenges.* The closure of the Strait of Hormuz since late February is noted as a major energy supply disruption, comparable to the 1970s oil crisis.* Regular gasoline prices in the United States have surged by approximately 37% since the commencement of the conflict in the Middle East.* The International Energy Agency has issued warnings regarding worsening supply constraints in April as pre-war crude oil shipments are depleted.* Emergency managers are urged to closely monitor fuel supply chains and logistics costs amidst the current geopolitical tensions.* National wildfire conditions in the United States are significantly exceeding historical averages, with over 810,000 acres burned thus far in 2026.SourcesDHS / NTAS* DHS — National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS)State Department / Travel Advisories* State Dept — Middle East Global Events Page* State Dept — Worldwide Caution* State Dept — Travel Advisories Landing Page* U.S. Embassy Ethiopia — Travel Advisory Renewed April 1, 2026NOAA / NWS* NOAA SPC — Day 2 Convective Outlook (April 6, 2026)* NOAA Weather Prediction Center — HomeUSGS* USGS — Significant Earthquakes 2026* USGS — Latest Earthquakes MapNIFC / InciWeb* NIFC — Incident Management Situation Report, April 3, 2026 (official update ~72 hours ago)* NIFC — National Fire News* InciWeb — Wildland Fire Application Information PortalFEMA* FEMA — Newsroom* FEMA — Disaster Declarations* FEMA — Hazard Mitigation Deadline Extension (March 24, 2026)CISA* CISA — Cybersecurity Alerts & Advisories* CISA — ICS Advisories* CISA — Emergency Directive 26-03: Cisco SD-WAN Vulnerabilities (February 2026)CDC* CDC — Health Alert Network (HAN) ArchiveIran War / Energy Crisis* NPR — Iran war updates, April 6, 2026* CNN — Live updates: Iran war, April 6, 2026* Bloomberg — Trump escalates threats to bomb Iran's power plants, April 5* CNBC — IEA warns oil supply crunch will worsen in April* Wikipedia — 2026 Strait of Hormuz crisis (context)Alaska* FEMA — Alaska Typhoon Halong Disaster Assistance (deadline passed April 3)California* CAL FIRE — Springs Fire incident page* Newsweek — California Wildfire Update: Evacuations Lifted as Springs Fire Contained* ABC7 Los Angeles — Springs Fire / Crown Fire live updates* NBC Los Angeles — Evacuations underway for Crown Fire in northern LA CountyFlorida* Fox Weather — Florida fire danger spikes as extreme drought reaches 25-year high, state of emergency declared* WUSF/NPR — Florida's drought caused a surge in wildfires, peak season still ahead (April 2, 2026)* Florida Governor — Executive Order 26-33 (February 9, 2026)* Florida DEM — Morning Situation Report, April 4, 2026Hawaii* Nomad Lawyer — Hawaii flooding alert: March 2026 stormKansas* KSN — Wildfire burns 145,000+ acres in Kansas and OklahomaNebraska* Wikipedia — 2026 Nebraska wildfiresNew Mexico* Albuquerque Journal — New Mexico could face high wildfire risk in 2026 due to warm winter, poor snowpack* NM Fire Info — Current wildfire informationNew York* City of Plattsburgh — MLD Power Outage, April 6, 2026 at 8:30 AMNorth Carolina / South Carolina* NWS Wilmington — 2026 Spring Climate Outlook for Southeast NC and Northeast SCOklahoma* Oklahoma OEM — April 2026 Newsletter* Direct Relief — Oklahoma, Texas, and Kansas wildfires: evacuations underway* Wikipedia — 2026 Oklahoma wildfiresTexas* TDEM — Governor Abbott activates emergency resources ahead of severe weather, March 31, 2026* NOAA WPC — Fort Worth/Dallas weather forecast This is a public episode.

As the Iran war triggers a global energy crisis, the climate consequences are already mounting. The International Energy Agency warns this crisis could surpass the oil shocks of the 1970s. Yet, even as some countries accelerate the shift to renewables, the Trump administration is doubling down on fossil fuels, scrapping wind projects and expanding drilling. Bill McKibben is a leading environmentalist who argues this war underscores the urgent need to transition away from oil, and he joins the program from Vermont.  Also on today's show: Hamidreza Mohammadi, brother of imprisoned Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi; cultural critic Chuck Klosterman, author of "Football"    Learn more about your ad choices.

The head of the International Energy Agency has told the BBC that governments need to “be more vocal” about cutting energy usage amid what he called the “greatest global energy security challenge in history”. Dr Birol is now calling on countries to cut demand suggesting lower speed limits, avoiding air travel, even restricting the use of private cars. Last week the IEA coordinated the release of 400 million barrels of strategic oil reserves, which is around 20% of the total reserves. However, the global oil price has only risen since then. David Harper has the latest. Gold prices have fallen sharply from around $5000 per ounce to just over $4500. Traditionally seen as a 'safe haven' in times of global uncertainty, why is the price of gold dropping now? Banking giant JP Morgan Chase say they are now trialling software to analyse employee working hours. The firm say that this will enable them to prioritise staff wellbeing, but it has raised questions about the ethics of logging every video call or keystroke.

The decision by the International Energy Agency to tap into oil reserves is historic in its size and scope. The 400 million barrel release dwarfs the number released after Russia invaded Ukraine. But there are many questions about whether this more ambitious effort will stop a surge in oil and gas prices if the war endures. Geoff Bennett discussed more with Clay Seigle.
