Is Alaska the Key to Energy Security?

As tensions around the Strait of Hormuz escalate and energy markets face renewed uncertainty, Alex Wolfe explores whether Alaska could offer part of the answer. The episode begins with Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy before moving to the Atlantic Council's 10th Global Energy Forum, where policymakers and industry leaders discuss the future of global energy security.Joining the conversation are Governor Dunleavy, Repsol CEO Josu Jon Imaz and former US Energy Secretary Dan Brouillette, who examine why secure shipping routes, regulatory certainty and long-term investment are becoming just as important as the resources themselves.The discussion comes as Repsol announces a $3 billion investment in Alaska, highlighting growing confidence in the state's strategic role. As governments and investors rethink global supply chains, the episode asks whether Alaska could become one of the world's most important and dependable energy hubs.Many thanks to Atlantic Council for providing us with the footage of 'Day 1 — Energy Stage - Imaz and Dunleavy Session' from their 10th Global Energy ForumGIVEAWAY!To celebrate our 100th episode, we're giving away a 45-47 MAGA hat!
