Energy Thinks: The Zombie Myth
Let’s make sure The Myth stays dead.
What you’ll get in this (solo) episode of Energy Thinks
I’m wrapping Season 8 with a solo episode reflecting on the themes shaping this pivotal moment in our industry. With my forthcoming book The Myth and The Moment now off to the editor, I explore what I learned in writing it—and what those lessons mean for you right now.
In this episode, I'll unpack:
Why I no longer believe a rational energy transition is inevitable—and what you need to know to navigate that reality.
What companies are actually doing right now—from seizing opportunity in volatility to safeguarding long-term credibility.
Why oil and gas leaders need to shape what comes next—before someone else does.
Is The Myth of An Easy Energy Transition dead, alive, or a zombie?
Listen to get my take on why this false narrative keeps coming back—and the kind of leadership it will take to lay it to rest for good.
Bonus content mentioned in this episode:
