Back to the Future: Tariffs and the Return of Old Ideas
🎙️ Guest: Peter McNally, CFA🎧 Episode Title: The Return of Industrial Risk🗓️ Published: [Insert Date]📍 Topics: Tariffs, Trade Policy, Supply Chains, Energy Markets, CapEx, Nuclear, AI Infrastructure
🔹 Episode Summary
In this conversation, Tom Levine speaks with Peter McNally, CFA of Third Bridge about how the return of tariffs, the hesitancy around long-term capital investment, and the future of energy are reshaping the economy.
McNally explains why many so-called reshoring announcements may just be “window dressing,” how cheap natural gas, as much as, policy—displaced coal, and why nuclear innovation may take longer than public timelines admit.
From AI-driven energy demand to restarting Three Mile Island, this episode looks at what happens when old industrial tools become relevant again.
🧠Highlights
Why companies are absorbing tariffs in the short-run instead of rewiring supply chains
The silent CapEx pause — and what it means for markets
LNG, shale, and the fracking technologies that changed U.S. energy
Small Modular Reactors and the limits of nuclear scale-up
AI data centers, power shortages, and the real energy bottleneck
“We’re all going to have to be students again.”
