As a weekend bonus for subscribers, we’re publishing a Q&A we conducted this week with Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis for Gasbuddy, about the market dynamics of rising gas prices, what Trump doesn’t understand about the economics of energy, how high fuels costs can change human behavior, and much more.
This piece is a rarity for Public Notice in that it’s paywalled. The newsletter is almost entirely free for everyone five days a week (and often six) thanks to paid subscribers. So if you’re a free subscriber who has been enjoying the newsletter but haven’t yet signed up to support our work, please consider doing your part to help keep almost everything we publish available to everyone. (And please email me if you’d like a paid subscription but can’t afford one — I’m happy to comp them to people on tight budgets.)
Without further ado, here’s our interview with De Haan.
