The Coronavirus Fallout

This week: how coronavirus could accelerate or decelerate the energy transition.

We’re facing an oil shock amid a pandemic, supply chains are still in disarray, economic gears are grinding to a near halt, and countries are scrambling to put stimulus packages in place. How will this shape the energy system?

Where will the money go when this is all over? Could clean energy have the advantage over fossil energy from investors and governments?
