VIDEO | Reports suggest the US and South Korea may be nearing an agreement to build as many as 8 nuclear reactors on US soil. @1796farewell spoke with former US Deputy Secretary of Energy Daniel Poneman about what the deal would mean strategically.

Sitting down with Mr Paul Saunders (@1796farewell), the President of the Center for the National Interest, our Secretary General - Mr Menelaos (Mel) Ydreos - held an hour-long conversation on the disruption, infrastructure and security of the natural gas markets, and on the long term implications of the Strait of Hormuz closure.
Watch/listen to their conversation below on Gas in a much bigger context than mere percentages or tankers; it was a conversation on the disruption of, for many, life as they know it.
