Description:  While the Trump administration is certainly making some radical moves, it is also part of global trends that have been unfolding for more than a decade.   And energy is firmly at the center of the nexus of activity.  This discussion will leverage the broad view of perspectives and ideas seen at CERAWeek 2025 to help understand the rapidly volatile energy landscape in which we find ourselves.
