World Affairs Council of West Michigan rebroadcast.
We welcome Wiebe Boer, President of Calvin University and former Shell All-On executive dedicated to providing energy to the under-served in Nigeria.
Accessing and controlling fossil fuels have long influenced the politics of individual nations and their relations with others. This has been highlighted most dramatically through the potential energy crisis in Europe caused by the war in Ukraine. But as more countries move toward sustainable energy, and supply chain shortages affect the availability of oil and gas, how will this affect the way fossil fuels drive geopolitics? Are there opportunities for the U.S. to develop more energy resilience in the face of uncertainty? And how might a new energy world order benefit fossil fuel-poor countries?
