I enjoyed researching & recording this episode of the @EnergyFluxNews interactive podcast, all about the world’s #coal addiction — and what it means for the #EnergyTransition

Check it out: callin.com/link/AVFQCknxwJ

“The US imports 200 million barrels of Russian oil every year. Sanctions would hit the American oil supply-demand balance”

“Unbelievably, some European power plants are set up to burn *only* Russian coal and can’t simply switch to non-Russian supplies.”
