The world is facing an energy crunch as the supply of natural gas, coal  and other energy sources fails to adequately satisfy demand. Natural gas  prices have risen multifold in Europe this year while several factories  in China have shut down due to power disruptions linked to the short  supply of coal. The U.K., meanwhile, has witnessed many of its fuel  pumps running dry and the country’s military has been called in to  prevent any violence. India’s power plants are also running on  critically low coal stocks.  Tracy Shuchart manages an energy and materials portfolio for a family  office. She is also the Energy and Materials strategist at Hedge Fund  Telemetry. In this livestream, we will handle audience questions about  the looming energy crisis and the state of power in the world.
