In Ep. 267, former IEA Director Nobuo Tanaka shares his perspectives on the global realignment into “petrostates” and “electrostates” and how US policy is pushing Europe and developing countries closer to China. We also discuss his bold proposals for an Asian electrostate alliance, Japan’s investment in Alaskan natural gas, and reshuffling Japan’s grid assets. https://xenetwork.org/ets/episodes/episode-267-japan-petrostate-or-electrostate/
