Is There a Global Energy Crisis?

Is There a Global Energy Crisis?

With oil, natural gas, coal, and gasoline at the highest prices in eight years, we consider if there is an energy crisis due to an over-reliance on renewable energy sources.

Topics covered include:

  • How high have prices risen for oil, gasoline, natural gas, and coal
  • Why rising energy prices is a multifaceted problem as illustrated by coal
  • How the global energy mix has changed for power production
  • Why investment capital is flowing to renewable energy projects rather than fossil fuel projects
  • Why a clean energy transition leads to more volatile fossil fuel prices
  • How higher oil prices lead to greater adoption of electric vehicles
  • How renewable energy combined with battery technology will create lead to energy on-demand solutions
