The Geopolitics of Energy and Power with Robert Bryce (WiM396)
The "What is Money?" Show
The Dangers of Undermining the Energy Network
This chapter highlights the potential dangers and hypocrisy involved in undermining the current energy network and argues against the closure of coal and gas power plants.
Robert Bryce joins me in-person at ARC Forum 2023 in London to talk about why we should be pro-nuclear, the unreliability of renewable energy sources, the negative impact of inflation on the energy grid, and whether governments can stop Bitcoin.
Robert Bryce is an American author, journalist, podcaster, and documentary film producer.
