Description: Dan Brouillette, a former energy secretary and Torridon Group co-chair, says banning US diesel exports would be a “bad idea” because it could eventually force refiners to reduce output and push gasoline prices higher. He says reopening the Strait of Hormuz and ensuring market confidence that it will stay open are the key near-term steps to lower fuel prices.
