What the Oil Price War Means for Cleantech
It's been pretty hard to miss the latest news. Coronavirus spreads! Oil prices plummet! Stock market crashes!
What does all of this have to do with climate and clean energy? A lot, actually.
On Monday, oil prices had their worst day since the 1991 Gulf War, falling 24 percent to around $34 per barrel. So how did we get here? And what does the combination of rock bottom oil prices and the coronavirus mean for clean energy?
We break it down on this episode of Political Climate in an interview with David Livingston, senior analyst at the political risk consultancy Eurasia Group with a focus on energy and global macroeconomics.
