Will the “War Not of our Choosing” be the catalyst for the energy future of our choice?

The realities of how Asian and certain EU countries are addressing the energy trilemma of climate change/adaptation, energy security and economic growth/affordability may not only prove to be resilient, but also may be permanently reshaping geopolitics. War driven volatility has accelerated energy security driven adoption of the energy transition, often in unexpected ways that runs counter to the conventional narrative. We will also explore alternative strategies to powering the AI revolution, and more broadly electrification of heat and mobility. The implications to technology, democracy, and the U.S.'s current path are profound.
