Journal House | United Nations General Assembly, New York City

The Wall Street Journal convened global leaders in policy, geopolitics, tech, finance, and sustainability for a week of discussion and debate around the key issues on deck during the UN General Assembly. Here is a session hosted by Dow Jones Energy.

Powering Economic Security

Global supply shocks, the Russia-Ukraine war, Venezuela post-Maduro, and threats to oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz are underscoring a fundamental reality: the security of the world’s energy supply increasingly determines where businesses invest, how economies grow and where risks emerge. U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright discusses the future of global energy security, high fuel prices, the need for greater energy production and reliable power. He also touches on solutions to the surging electricity demands of AI and the push to expand America’s energy capacity across oil and gas, nuclear and other sources.
