Energy Diversity and Abundance with Stephen Perkins

This week we talk about the 2025 Nobel Prize in Economics, eliminating the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, why we don’t need a government agency for jobs data, how market trade builds social capital, and a new article on the managerial tyranny of Boomer environmentalism. Our interview this week is with Stephen Perkins, Chief Operating Officer of the American Conservation Coalition. We talk about oil and gas, wind and solar, permitting and zoning, transmission lines, and the future of U.S. energy abundance.
