    Introducing: Electric World Order | The geopolitics of the energy and technology transition

    This first season of The Polycrisis podcast tells the story of the clash between new and old energy regimes. Just like other energy transitions before it, this is a geopolitical story - not a climate one. Developing countries are leapfrogging their wealthy counterparts by rapidly deploying cheap solar panels, batteries and electric vehicles imported from China. This gives them a low-cost supply that’s immune to wars and other disruptions.  This energy transition is deeply connected to shifts taking place in the world, especially since the US-Israel attacks on Iran: the reconfiguration of world power, US-China rivalry and the deterioration of US hegemony.  Hosted by climate policy expert Tim Sahay (New York / Brazil / India) and energy and finance journalist Kate Mackenzie (Sydney, Australia)– co-authors of The Polycrisis newsletter, which explores connections between energy, geopolitics, climate change, finance and industry.  Produced by Sarah AllelyOriginal music by Russell StapletonMixed by Bethany Stewart Contact us at: polycrisispodcast@gmail.com
