Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine has stressed the global energy system. Who are the energy winners and losers? How will the war and U.S.-China competition affect efforts to transition away from fossil fuels? And what are the prospects for nuclear power, after the United States and two dozen other nations agreed to triple capacity by 2050 at the 2023 UN climate summit in the United Arab Emirates? All are critical questions for global energy.

In this episode, Center for the National Interest President Paul Saunders talks with Nobuo Tanaka, Chair of the Steering Committee at Innovation for Cool Earth Forum who served previously as Executive Director of the International Energy Agency and as Chairman of Japan’s Sasakawa Peace Foundation.
