About this episode

We continue our Inside the Coffeehouse series where we're introducing you to Coffeehouse, our new social media platform for advancing the conversation on energy, climate, markets, and technology. 

 

We have two guests joining us today. Susan Sakmar is Visiting Professor at the University of Houston Law Center, Board Member at Flex LNG, and Author of Energy for the 21st Century: Opportunities and Challenges for LNG. And Eirik Wærness is Senior Vice President and Chief Economist at Equinor.

 

SmarterMarkets™ host David Greely sits down with Susan and Eirik for a transatlantic conversation on the future of energy following the US elections – and asks them to share their perspectives on what it may mean for the US oil and natural gas industry, LNG, and Europe.
