War with Iran is a nightmare for oil and gas. What does it mean for clean energy?
About this episode
The episode discusses the implications of the ongoing war in the Middle East on global oil and gas markets and the potential effects on clean energy policies.
Many consider a widespread war in the Middle East the worst-case scenario for the global oil and gas markets. That war is here, and it could have wide-ranging, long-lasting impacts on energy and climate policy. This week on Zero, Akshat Rathi speaks with Jason Bordoff, director of the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University and former energy and climate advisor to President Barack Obama to try to understand what those impacts could look like. Will countries double down on fossil fuels or will they speed up the clean-energy transition?
