Recommendation

With four-fifths of energy consumption still of fossil fuels, the transition to renewable energy is slow going. But in the brave new world of green energy, minerals could shape a different global order. In this insightful IMF podcast, host Bruce Edwards and economic historian Daniel Yergin discuss the future of energy and its impacts on geopolitics, including the possibility of new powers replacing current-day hegemons, as Big Oil cedes to Big Mining.

Take-Aways

  • The world is going through an energy crisis.
  • Current energy problems are complex and deep-rooted.
  • Access to minerals may determine future geopolitical power.
