U.S. oil production has fallen from pre-pandemic levels, and shortages of both oil and gas are contributing to global inflation and slower growth. Russia’s war on Ukraine has caused energy prices to spike even higher and has highlighted the vulnerability of U.S. allies that are heavily dependent on Russia’s energy sector. Join Hudson Senior Fellow Thomas Duesterberg for a discussion on these challenges with U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, a prominent voice on the Senate’s Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.
