A 23 minute video that discusses how we have moved from what was a messy energy transition environment pre-Ukraine to a now full blow energy crisis era post Ukraine, catalyzed by Russia moving to pariah state status.

US shale accounted for 70% of global oil supply growth last decade, but faces significant pressures to not grow as fast this coming decade from a combination of traditional investors due to poor historic ROCE, ESG investors focused on energy transition, and current US government policy that is obsessed with virtue signaling about the climate portion of energy and climate policies.

US and Canadian oil supply is needed more than ever, especially given the very poor track record of oil supply from pariah states. I continue to emphasize that there is a difference between “good” barrels from the United States and Canada and “bad” barrels from Russia and Iran. Even the most die-hard climate activist should recognize that as we are transitioning, it is better for all aspects of energy and climate policy to prioritize US and Canadian oil and gas production over supply from unfriendly areas.
