Episode: #84 Back toâŻBlack? Why Oil Majors Seem to Be Retreating From Renewables (with MichaelâŻLiebreich, Bloomberg New Energy Finance))
Description: In Episode 84, cleanâenergy luminary Michael Liebreich joins the show to unpack why oil giants like Shell and BP appear to be throttling back on renewables just as the climate crisis intensifies. Drawing on decades in clean-tech finance and heavy-transport electrification, Liebreich argues that the pivot is less a U-turn than a short-term cash grabâand that the physics and economics of ânot burning stuffâ will ultimately win.Expect candid takes on capital markets, policy headwinds, and where the smartest money is flowing now, all delivered with Liebreichâs trademark data-driven bluntness.
