How is the war with Iran impacting global oil prices—and could the Strait of Hormuz trigger the next energy crisis? In this episode, Lisa sits down with former U.S. Energy Secretary Dan Brouillette to break down the extreme volatility in the oil markets, the risks facing global shipping, and how energy traders are trying to price uncertainty during a geopolitical conflict.

Brouillette explains why oil prices surged from the mid-$70s to $120 in just hours, how the Trump administration’s proposed $20 billion tanker insurance backstop could stabilize shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, and why the Strategic Petroleum Reserve is at a dangerously low level. He also reflects on how deregulation during the Trump administration helped make the United States a net energy exporter and what that means for energy security today.

The conversation also explores the global implications of bringing Venezuelan oil back into the market, China’s reliance on discounted energy, and how geopolitical shifts could reshape the world’s energy supply. Plus, Brouillette discusses the massive power demand coming from AI and data centers, why nuclear energy may be the key to meeting future electricity needs, and how cybersecurity and quantum computing could transform energy infrastructure.

Topics covered include:


Why oil prices are swinging wildly during the Iran conflict


The strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz


Trump’s tanker insurance plan and global shipping risks


The state of the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve
