Trisha Curtis and Ethan Bellamy bring you a special two part St. Patrick’s Day special diving into hot oil prices, inflation, OPEC Plus compliance, and a real discussion and attempt to help listeners define and better understand the term “energy transition” and give it some actual context.

Episode 7 is part 1 of this not to be missed discussion on what the energy transition is and how academics are defining it as well as a discussion on the newly released and rather controversial IEA 2021 Oil Report released on March 17, 2021 with some very aggressive oil demand reduction forecasts. Trisha talks about oil demand forecasts, the concept of the energy transition, and begins getting into China and their new 5 Year Plan.
