Pleased to see my insights featured in @smartcitiesdive and republished by @YahooFinance .

I discussed how rising fuel prices are driving inflation, straining household budgets, and increasing transportation costs, particularly for lower- and middle-income Americans.

Transportation inflation is putting renewed pressure on American consumers. Rising gasoline, diesel, and airfare costs highlight how energy markets continue to shape transportation affordability and broader inflation trends.

My latest in @TheNatlInterest: African oil cannot solve the global fuel crisis. Aging fields, declining production, and limited refining capacity constrain Africa’s ability to offset major supply disruptions.

Pleased to be featured in @AirCargoWeek, discussing how geopolitical disruptions are reshaping air cargo routes, fuel costs, and supply chains, including the growing role of the Caucasus and Central Asia.

Glad to contribute to @moneywisecom's latest coverage of North Dakota’s diesel tax relief for farmers.

I discussed what the 19¢-per-gallon break means for farmers, food prices, and the broader challenge of tight diesel supplies.

I spoke with The @EpochTimes about Iran and the Strait of Hormuz.

I argued that military defeat can be particularly destabilizing for authoritarian regimes by undermining perceptions of competence and strength, with consequences extending beyond the battlefield.

Glad to be featured by @SWNS discussing rising energy prices and what they mean for consumers.

Energy affordability is increasingly tied to broader questions of energy security, supply, and market volatility.

I joined the Due South podcast to discuss African economies, energy security, and the growing risks posed by declining oil production.

We explored the “resource curse,” terminal oil decline, economic diversification, and how today’s global energy disruptions are affecting countries across Africa.

Glad to be quoted in @EpochTimes Times on the growing data center debate and its potential role in the 2026 midterms.

I discussed how AI infrastructure is making energy policy increasingly local—from electricity costs and water use to infrastructure and development.

Glad to be featured in @moneywisecom today, sharing my perspective on rising diesel costs and what they mean for U.S. farmers, agricultural supply chains, and ultimately consumers.

Energy costs don’t stop at the pump, their effects can ripple throughout the broader economy.

Glad to contribute to @moneywisecom on the challenges of increasing U.S. potash imports from Belarus.

I discussed how geography, infrastructure, shipping costs, and geopolitical risk could make Belarusian potash far more complicated to move to U.S. farmers than Canadian supply.

Glad to be featured in @moneywisecom discussing the future of the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve and why modernizing its aging infrastructure is critical to American energy security.

I shared my perspective alongside Peter Zeihan’s analysis.

Venezuela has the world’s largest proven oil reserves. So why can’t it simply turn the taps back on?

Politics and sanctions are only part of the story. Years of underinvestment and infrastructure decay could prove just as decisive.

My latest in the @dcexaminer:

Gabon’s critical minerals are becoming increasingly important in U.S.-China competition. Beijing has a major head start, but Washington still has an opportunity to offer an alternative built around investment, local processing, and long-term partnership.

[Yagiz Sullu, PhD @SulluYagiz]

I was glad to contribute expert analysis to @moneywisecom on President Trump’s proposal to use Venezuelan oil to replenish the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve and what it could mean for U.S. energy security and consumers.

I discussed why Venezuela’s enormous oil reserves should not be confused with readily available production, the investment required to rebuild aging oil infrastructure, and the political and commercial risks companies will have to consider before committing significant capital to the country.
