What if the biggest energy risk facing the world isn’t climate, but dependence? In this highlight episode, Kingsmill Bond joins the show to unpack why energy security has suddenly become one of the most urgent global issues. You’ll learn how decades of reliance on imported fossil fuels left much of the world exposed, why geopolitics has changed long-held assumptions about access to energy, and which regions are now most vulnerable to disruption.
Listen in to hear why solar and wind fundamentally change the rules of energy dependence, how electrification can reduce fossil fuel imports, and why renewable technologies don’t create the same geopolitical risks as oil and gas. Kingsmill also explains why the global south may leapfrog traditional energy systems entirely and what this means for governments, industries, and long-term resilience.
