The War on Oil and Gas - The Liz Truss Show with Tim Stewart
Former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss discusses the global energy crisis and the rising risk of oil prices surging to $150 per barrel amid escalating tensions in the Middle East.
Liz speaks with Tim Stewart, President of the United States Oil and Gas Association, about the geopolitical battle over energy, the role of oil and gas in global security, and why Britain’s current energy policies could leave the country dangerously exposed.
With the conflict involving Iran threatening shipping routes through the Strait of Hormuz, global oil markets could face major disruption.
Meanwhile, the United States has dramatically expanded its energy production thanks to the shale revolution — something critics say the UK and Europe have failed to replicate due to bans on fracking and strict net zero policies.
