Mike Howard, Chairman & CEO of Howard Energy Partners, unpacks the true bottlenecks in America’s hydrocarbon pipeline network—and why it’s more a matter of perception than possibility.

In this episode of The Miller Report: Real Clear Journalism, Howard discusses:

• Why seasonal constraints and public perception are bigger obstacles than technical limits
• What regulatory reforms could accelerate safe, responsible infrastructure development
• How capital chases certainty, and what’s needed to unlock investment
• His take on the long-delayed Alaska North Slope gas pipeline and its export future
• Why we’re on the verge of a massive industrial energy buildout

As energy demand surges, Howard argues that pipelines will only become more essential—and that public trust and clear policy are the keys to making it happen.
