tl;dr: the end of scarcity also ended bipartisan cooperation, but a new scarcity (of pipes and wires) could bring it back.
Unpack the rest on the latest @CSISEnergy #EnergyShots podcast, where @JosephMajkut and I tackle #permitting #reform:

Kicked off my time in DC with an energy breakfast at @CSIS sharing thoughts with so many top-notch analysts—lots of familiar faces whom I have known for years online and finally got to meet in person today
Big thanks to the CSIS energy team for hosting. @ClaySeigle @JosephMajkut

The disparity between national and regional electricity demand reflects the possibility of regional projections overcompensating for, or double-counting, large-load expectations, presenting a cross-regional risk of misallocating energy resources, write @CSISEnergy experts.

Data centers and other large loads are reshaping U.S. electricity demand, but where and when they will materialize remains deeply uncertain. @CSISEnergy experts argue interregional transmission offers a resilient hedge against that uncertainty in transmission planning.

Signs increasingly suggest Hormuz shock will permanently reduce demand for O&G.

I will be live with @CSISEnergy Director @JosephMajkut at 3pm for a special #EnergyShots episode on a #diesel #export limits—a familiar topic for longtime viewers (and ClearView clients). Join us for a brief—and potentially very timely—discussion.
Join us at 3PM EDT for a special episode of #EnergyShots⬇️
ESCC Director @JosephMajkut and Senior Adviser @kevinbookdc discuss the economics and politics of a potential ban on diesel exports by the Tump administration.

History does not repeat itself, but it is said to rhyme. This year, it's rhyming like a rap song.
Here's the whole #EnergyShots episode: youtube.com/watch?v=Hs6zeAMp…
#OOTT #diesel #IranWar
On today's special episode of #EnergyShots, @JosephMajkut and @kevinbookdc discussed President Trump's proposed diesel export ban.
A similar but not enacted proposal in 2022 raised questions about how a ban could affect refinery production and fuel prices over time.
Those same questions are worth revisiting now ⬇️
CSIS Energy Program retweeted
On Tuesday, the President appeared to back #diesel export limits. On Wednesday, @SecretaryWright reportedly proposed alternatives. What will happen next? On yesterday’s special #EnergyShots podcast, @CSISEnergy Director @JosephMajkut and I discussed.

U.S. crude oil exports jumped from about 3.5 million barrels per day before the war to more than 5 million, finds @CSISEnergy. How has the United States’ growing role as an energy supplier helped cushion global markets from disruption?

Could reopening the Strait of Hormuz without Gulf states set the stage for another conflict?
Non-resident Sr. Associate @CSISEnergy Raad Alkadiri argues that a shared governance mechanism, modeled on postwar Europe, could dilute leverage and foster long-term cooperation.

Good conversation this morning with Nick Elliot, Senior Director of Power for NEDC. The Whitehouse’s point man for electricity and meeting datacenter demand. We talk:
✅ power markets
✅ flexibility
✅ permitting reform
And what it will take to realize the ratepayer protection pledge. @CSISEnergy youtube.com/live/tNDX36hENZE…

My colleague Jane Nakano and I weigh-up the opportunities and challenges of the Saudi 123 agreement: on the one hand, it's an opportunity to compete with China for regional influence. On the other hand, depending on the details, it could come with 3 risks to the nuclear regime. @csisponi @CSISDefense @CSISEnergy
NEW COMMENTARY:
PONI's Heather Williams and Energy Security and Climate Change's Jane Nakano analyze the Saudi 123 Agreement, arguing the proposed U.S.-Saudi civil nuclear agreement has both risks and opportunities for U.S. national security. What would Washington gain? How might it affect global nonproliferation norms, or shape global interests in nuclear defense capacity? How might it impact U.S. competition with China?
To explore these questions in greater depth, read the full commentary here: csis.org/analysis/nuclear-st…
