About the event
Wars in the Middle East and Ukraine disrupt oil supplies and raise prices, while countries seek to replace fossil fuels with renewable energy and nuclear power to combat climate change. Amid these crises, the security and economic fortunes of the United States and the world seem increasingly dependent on energy. Join us as David Bernell discusses the domestic and geopolitical implications of energy and how U.S. political choices impact the rest of the world.
