This week on the podcast, our guest is David Detomasi, an associate professor and distinguished faculty fellow in international business at the Smith School of Business at Queens University. He is also the author of “Profits and Power: Navigating the Politics and Geopolitics of Oil.”
First, Jackie and Peter discuss the potential impact of the Canadian government’s proposed cap on oil and gas emissions on smaller oil and gas producers. A reminder that the deadline for providing feedback on the Federal Government’s “Regulatory Framework for an Oil and Gas Sector Greenhouse Gas Emissions Cap" is February 5th, 2024.
Next, Jackie and Peter interview David about his perspectives on the politics and geopolitics of oil. Here are some of the questions they asked him: Why is the expanding conflict in the Middle East having little impact on oil prices? Do you expect additional sanctions on Iran? Will the United States continue to protect the Middle East and critical waterways despite having less dependency on the region’s oil versus the past? Describe the United States and Saudi Arabian relationship and how it has been changing. How would you describe Donald Trump’s energy policy from 2017 to 2021? How should we think about the geopolitics of oil from a Canadian perspective? How can Canada balance climate goals with producing gas and oil?
