Free the Economy podcast: Consumer-regulated energy with Travis Fisher
In this week’s episode we cover economic growth in China, the political legacy of Viktor Orban in Hungary, and the one-year anniversary of President Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs. Our guest this week is Travis Fisher, director of energy and environmental policy studies at the Cato Institute and previously our guest for Episode 49. We’ll talk about energy policy in a world of abundance, new demand from AI data centers, islands versus the grid, and how to create a large-scale reform of electricity regulation in the US.
