America's Leg Up on Petrochemicals || Peter Zeihan

About this episode

This episode discusses the impact of the Iran War on global petrochemical production and the resulting oil shortage.

The Iran War has caused a massive disruption in global petrochemical production. Since most of the world relies on oil-derived naptha, the ~12 million barrels/day shortage is taking a toll. Join the Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/PeterZeihan Full Newsletter: https://bit.ly/4sQt6Cg
