Webinar Recording

Technology and policy changes are driving peak demand for fossil fuels and massive growth of renewables. There is an enormous fossil fuel system at risk from the peak and fortunes to be made in building out the new renewable system. Many investors remain in denial, clinging to old beliefs and defunct models. This creates excellent investment opportunities on the long and the short side.
