Apr2nd
2013 1 Comment Written by Stu

Fresh from the 11th floor studio at AEI, the latest episode of AEI’s Banter podcast drills down on the energy revolution sweeping the nation. AEI blogger extraordinaire, Mark Perry, discusses how and why oil and gas production is heading through the roof in these United States. Mark explains why the US is leading the way, how expanded drilling benefits the economy, and what the impact is on the environment. The innovations that led to the boom took place largely outside the direction of public policy, making it a true case of private sector innovation. We also compare Texas and California, two states that are using their reserves in dramatically different ways. Enjoy!

Banter #54: The One About Gas Prices

Apr27th
2012 1 Comment Written by Andrew

In the latest episode of AEI’s podcast, Banter, we sit down AEI scholar Mark Perry to talk energy. Mark, who blogs regularly on a variety of economic topics, discusses the role of oil speculators and why they often get more blame for gas prices than they should. We discuss why gas prices are beginning to fall, what are the costs involved in a dollar at the pump, and the difference between gas prices and onion prices (you might be surprised). We also talk about the recent natural gas boom in the US, hydraulic fracturing, and the role public policy plays in energy production. Plus, Andrew admits that his working knowledge of energy issues comes mostly from the Simpsons.
