America's push for 'energy dominance' is hitting a wall in 2026, caught between competing promises to oil producers and consumers, according to Columbia University Professor Adam Tooze. 🌍 In a recent interview with CGTN's Tian Wei, he highlighted the growing tension as Washington tries to boost fossil fuel exports while pledging affordable energy prices at home—a balancing act that's sparking debate nationwide.
💡 "The math doesn't add up," Tooze stated, pointing to moves like seeking control over Venezuelan oil reserves. "You can't simultaneously maximize profits for energy giants and protect household budgets." This year's policy decisions could reshape global markets, with Asian economies closely watching how U.S. LNG exports impact regional energy security.
🚨 For young professionals and investors: The clash affects everything from gas prices to renewable energy investments. As climate deadlines loom, will 2026 mark a turning point? Stay tuned as we track this high-stakes energy puzzle. 🔍
