1. Let's Talk About Our Energy Use and What's Driving Demand

Join me on the first episode of the Let’s Talk Energy Podcast, where I break down where our energy comes from, how different countries are navigating the energy transition, and what’s driving global demand.

I discuss why fossil fuels still dominate, the challenges renewables face in scaling up, and how technology, infrastructure, and economic growth are reshaping energy use. I also look at the ongoing challenge of balancing energy security, sustainability, and economic needs.
