The Iran Oil Shock: Will it Force the World to Re-think the Future of Energy?

In this special episode Jason Bordoff, founding director of the Center on Global Energy Policy, sits down with Robin Pomeroy, host of the World Economic Forum podcast, Radio Davos, to talk about the global and likely lasting impacts of the current energy shock. This episode is a crosspost originally published by Radio Davos . During the first weeks of the war in Iran, most analysis focused on the immediate energy shock it triggered. To explore the longer-term implications of the conflict, Jason and Meghan O'Sullivan, director of the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at Harvard's Kennedy School, recently co-authored a piece for Foreign Affairs titled, "The Iran Shock, And the Dangerous Allure of Energy Autarky" . Jason joined Robin Pomeroy to discuss the article and how the largest oil supply disruption the world has ever seen is impacting near-term energy security while fundamentally reshaping the future of the industry. (Unfortunately, Meghan O'Sullivan was unable to join the recording due to illness.) Our thanks to Robin and the World Economic Forum for collaborating with us to share this conversation.
