Is the world facing the greatest energy security threat in history? Nicolai Tangen sits down with Dr. Fatih Birol, Executive Director of the International Energy Agency (IEA), for a timely and urgent conversation about global energy. They discuss why the Middle East crisis surpasses all previous energy shocks combined, what the release of 400 million barrels of strategic reserves can and cannot achieve, and Europe's three historic energy mistakes, from over-reliance on Russian gas to stepping back from nuclear power. Fatih also shares his conviction that the future of transportation is electric and why cheap electricity will determine who wins the AI race.
