Diesel Shock: The High Cost of Energy Isolation

Episode length: 18m

Subscribe to The LibertarianSubscribe

Why are diesel prices soaring, and why doesn’t American energy independence shield consumers from global shocks? Richard Epstein discusses how war, restrictions on pipelines, and strained international relationships affect energy supplies. He also looks at the limits of energy self-sufficiency, the risks of disrupting global trade, and why expanding supply is essential to easing pressure on farmers, businesses, and households.

Hosted by Charles C. W. Cooke and Richard Epstein
