Energy Politics and Climate Realities: Expert Insights with Jim Krane

In this podcast, the Al-Attiyah Foundation is joined by Jim Krane, a Wallace S. Wilson Fellow for Energy Studies at Rice University's Baker Institute for Public Policy in Houston. 

He is the author of the “City of Gold: Dubai and the Dream of Capitalism”, a book widely recognised as the seminal work on the city-state, and the 2019 award-winning “Energy Kingdoms: Oil and Political Survival in the Persian Gulf”, a definitive study of energy demand in the Gulf region.

In the interview the following questions are explored:
• What is dominating energy politics at the moment?
• Have energy subsidies in fossil fuel producing countries encouraged excessive consumption? 
• Are attacks on shipping routes in the Red Sea impacting energy flows?
• What is driving US energy policy?
