Hormuz fallout: Energy chaos is here to stay

from Rapid Response

The Strait of Hormuz crisis is reshaping energy markets in real time. But what's a short-term shock and what's a lasting structural shift? Amy Harder, National Energy Correspondent for Axios, returns to Rapid Response to map the true scale of the oil disruption, why demand destruction may be closer for American consumers than most realize, and why the strait may never fully reopen the way it was. Plus, how the AI data center boom is rewriting electricity demand, what it means for nuclear and renewables, and why the collision of energy, geopolitics, and technology is forcing both leaders and everyday people to pay attention in ways they never have before.Visit the Rapid Response website here: https://www.rapidresponseshow.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
