Is the Iran war supercharging the energy transition?
About this episode
The episode discusses how the Iran war is impacting energy prices and accelerating the transition to renewable energy sources.
The war with Iran and closure of the Strait of Hormuz has sent oil and gas prices through the roof. As countries scramble to secure energy supplies, sales of rooftop solar and electric vehicle sales are soaring. Is the war forcing the world to break its fossil fuel addiction? And how viable are alternative low-emissions fuels? Guest: Dani Alexander, the chief executive of the University of New South Wales Energy Institute Get in touch:We’d love to hear from you!
