6 of every 7 barrels of oil the Allies used in WWII came from the United States.
Energy hasn't just powered America. It made America.
@DanielYergin joins @Poli_Climate to trace 250 years of American energy and discuss what comes next.

The US wins on innovation–it only loses when rivals have slave labor & no emissions standards, @SenJohnCurtis said at @ClearPathAction's #NYCW2026 forum. Our hosts grapple with how to have a mutually beneficial China relationship. Listen now: buff.ly/ETNNfEt
What do young progressives and Trump have in common? Both are warming to working with China on clean energy. On the new @Poli_Climate, @BrandonHurlbut on “Chinamaxxing” and how running against tariffs is winning in Iowa and Ohio: buff.ly/ETNNfEt
A permitting reform deal months in the making could die if we are not carefully watching: the House. On the new @Poli_Climate, @FERChatterjee breaks down why clearing the Senate isn't the finish line: it's where the real fight starts. Listen now: buff.ly/iC1SpzN
DOE, EPA & FERC are all racing to address AI-driven affordability issues, says @FERChatterjee, even as a "ratepayer protection pledge" vote stalls in the Senate. Will policymakers take real action? Listen now: buff.ly/W4fID2I
Critical minerals are the invisible architecture of modern life: the chips in your phone, the magnets in jet engines, the copper in every data center. We dig into why these materials have become the battleground of global competition, and what it will take for the US to compete.
Listen to the full breakdown! buff.ly/ssNAZiD
A year ago, data centers were an economic win for any governor. Now, @BrandonHurlbut says they're "less popular than nuclear waste.” What that means for the 2026 midterms on the latest @Poli_Climate: buff.ly/YqDtfkN
AI + Energy collision is “the most bipartisan thing" in politics right now, argues @FERChatterjee. Is it time to create an AI regulator? Listen to the newest @Poli_Climate episode for more on one of the biggest issues heading into the midterms: buff.ly/YqDtfkN
Steel and aluminum imports get the headlines, but US cement import reliance has tripled in 10 years—7% to 22%. What other supply chains are we not watching closely enough? Clearpath's Rafae Ghani explains: buff.ly/m1WlCdC
"We'll never outmine low-cost countries — but we can outinnovate them." Endolith's microbes + cloud computing recover 60-80% of copper from existing US mines, vs. under 50% conventionally. Hear how on the latest Political Climate 🎧 buff.ly/5ssnyL5
"Copper is the critical mineral that should be keeping everyone awake at night." Endolith CEO Liz Dennett says we'll need more copper by 2050 than in all of human history—and explains how microbes + machine learning can unlock supply we're leaving behind. buff.ly/5ssnyL5
China makes 60-70% of the world's steel & aluminum. A 70% China cutoff could quadruple prices, halting US growth entirely. Brimstone CEO Cody Finke on why the US can't afford to skip an industrial policy: buff.ly/ACLXXjX
Are we mining the wrong rocks?
Traditionally, it takes 2 tons of rock to get 1 ton of cement. Steel: ~30 tons → 1 ton
Brimstone has a different take: mine rocks where everything has value.
Simple concept. Breakthrough innovation.

Can you have effective climate policy without ever using the word “climate”? @FERChatterjee thinks so. We discuss on the latest episode of Political Climate, recorded live at @AspenIdeas: Climate. buff.ly/pzAyVYY
Climate hushing is getting louder. Does that matter? On the latest @Poli_Climate Mitch Stewart & @BrandonHurlbut explain why affordability—not climate—is driving 2026 campaign messaging. Listen here or wherever you get podcasts: buff.ly/Pmyvdrc
"It's projected that there could be 10 billion humanoid robots by 2040.” 30-year energy investor @pdeutch talks energy & tech trends + the political forces surrounding them on the latest episode of the Political Climate Podcast: buff.ly/O1O3AJ1
At 1pm on July 21, the Political Climate Podcast is returning to Aspen Ideas: Climate to record a live episode on climate, energy & the 2026 midterm election.
This promises to be an engaging convo! We'd love to see you in the room. Join us: as.pn/climate
"There's never been a more exciting time to be an investor in energy in probably the history of the United States. And that's a big statement because we've had electrification and fracking."
30 years in energy investing. One big claim. New episode with @pdeutch—out now.
Listen to Part 1: buff.ly/VLPNH4i
and stay tuned for Part 2, dropping on Monday!
The rise of AI is changing the energy investing game. On the latest Political Climate Podcast, @pdeutch of NGP Energy Capital explains why Big Tech's "blank piece of paper" approach to problem-solving is rewriting the future of American energy. Listen now: buff.ly/UyXnI3K
