Are we in a Cold War where energy is the weapon?

Is energy becoming the world’s most powerful strategic asset? As governments refocus on security and affordability, global energy policy is shifting fast. What does this mean for Canada, the US, and the world?

Robert “RJ” Johnston is Senior Director of Research at the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University and is on the speed dial of CEOs, policymakers, and political leaders navigating energy markets and global strategy.

In this episode, Stewart joins RJ in NYC to discuss:

• Why security and affordability are taking priority over sustainability under the Trump administration
• How the US-Canada Energy Relationship
• The Arctic, critical minerals, and why energy security isn’t just about oil and gas
• How LNG is used as a competitive advantage influencing trade relationships
• The political fate of ESG and DEI initiatives

RJ doesn’t just analyze trends, he’s been in the rooms where these decisions happen. Whether you work in energy, policy, or just want to understand how the world really works, this episode will change how you see the future of energy, economy, and your community as a whole.
