OPEC just shook up the energy world again, rolling back 2.2 million barrels per day of production cuts, and the ripple effects are huge. Will oil prices climb? Can U.S. shale keep up, or are we looking at a new reality for American production? We’re breaking down what this means for global supply, market stability, and the geopolitical chess game playing out from Saudi Arabia to Venezuela. Plus, the latest on LNG, trade wars, and whether energy independence is still a thing or just a nice idea.
