Key topics included Tesla's battery supplier topping the list of human rights abuses for a second year, driven by child labor concerns in cobalt mining, and the potential for a natural gas boom due to increased demand from power companies and data centers. They also critiqued the G7's agreement to end coal use by 2035 and highlighted environmental and logistical challenges in fully transitioning to renewable energy sources like wind and solar. Additionally, they delved into allegations against the CEO of an oil company potentially colluding with OPEC to influence oil prices, and the implications of this for industry regulation and corporate governance.
