ENERGY RESET – THE CONVERSATION OF THE CENTURY


Energy Intelligence launched the Conversation of the Century as a much-needed platform designed to host the once-in-a-generation shift we are seeing in energy. To date, the energy transition discussion is happening at extremes – and Energy Intelligence is changing that, with video and opinion pieces from contributors across the energy spectrum.

We raise the big energy questions on the minds of business, civil society and governments. We present all sides, even the inconvenient or uncomfortable truths, with the purpose of encouraging dialogue – and hopefully progress.

Join us in the Conversation of the Century:
 

OPINION

Demand Driving Oil Markets Into Turbulence
Unlike previous supply-driven energy crises, demand uncertainty is now the driving factor, with the pandemic and energy transition upending old market orthodoxies. >>>

Why Sanctions Threats Won't Deter Russia
The threat of retaliatory sanctions by the West if Russia invades Ukraine could backfire, with China a wildcard in this geopolitical game. >>>

Are Oil Futures Dying?
Falling open interest suggests that oil futures markets could be in a terminal crisis. But are they really dying? >>>

COP26 Turns Heat on Oil Industry Up, Not Down
Hopes that high oil and gas prices would highlight risks of underinvestment were dashed: COP26 showed the persistence of climate action. >>>

Fossil Fuel Divestment: A Warning From History
Many are attempting to reduce fossil fuel supplies, but without a commensurate demand reduction this could lead to rapidly rising prices and even potential...>>>

Avoiding Green - and Other Armageddons
“Creative destruction,” the dynamics of technical progress, the power of global finance: all counter the provocative new David Stockman commentary... >>>

Producer Peril Abounds at COP26
Oil exporting countries face a moment of peril now that the COP26 climate talks in Glasgow are under way. >>>
