In this episode of The Energy Show, Barry Cinnamon explains how geopolitical tensions, shipping disruptions, and global commodity markets create sudden energy price shocks and why uncertainty itself drives fuel prices higher.
The recent conflict involving Iran threatens shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global energy chokepoint where roughly 20% of the world’s oil and LNG supply passes every day.
Even the risk of disruptions can cause oil, gasoline, diesel, and natural gas prices to spike worldwide.
In this episode:
• Why U.S. fuel prices rise even when America produces its own energy
• How global oil and natural gas markets determine prices
• Why uncertainty in shipping routes causes price volatility
• How rising natural gas prices affect electricity and food costs
• Why solar, batteries, and electric vehicles reduce exposure to fossil fuel volatility
