Ever since Russia invaded Ukraine, policymakers and energy professionals alike have been challenged to figure out how Western countries could stop funding Russia\u2019s war machine by halting imports of their fossil fuels. But, considering that Russia is the world\u2019s largest exporter of oil, halting imports is simply not something that can be done quickly.<\/p>\n

It is, however, something that must be done as quickly as possible. Numerous proposals and plans have been put forward to outline how various countries could displace the need for Russian energy exports. And generally, those proposals amount to accelerating the energy transition.<\/p>\n

In this episode, we delve into some of those proposals and try to understand how much of a role they could play in displacing Russian fossil fuel exports, how long these measures will take, and how the entire global arrangement of trade and political alliances may have to be rearranged to accommodate them.<\/p>\n

We tackle this huge topic in a two-hour conversation with three experts. To represent how Europe could proceed, we welcome back to the show Tim Gould<\/a> of the International Energy Agency (IEA). To represent the UK perspective, we welcome back to the show Simon Evans<\/a> of Carbon Brief. And to represent the US perspective, we welcome to the show Rachael Grace, Senior Director of Policy at Rewiring America.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
