This first season of The Polycrisis podcast tells the story of the clash between new and old energy regimes. Just like other energy transitions before it, this is a geopolitical story - not a climate one. Developing countries are leapfrogging their wealthy counterparts by rapidly deploying cheap solar panels, batteries and electric vehicles imported from China. This gives them a low-cost supply that’s immune to wars and other disruptions.  This energy transition is deeply connected to shifts taking place in the world, especially since the US-Israel attacks on Iran: the reconfiguration of world power, US-China rivalry and the deterioration of US hegemony.  Hosted by climate policy expert Tim Sahay (New York / Brazil / India) and energy and finance journalist Kate Mackenzie (Sydney, Australia)– co-authors of <a href='https://www.phenomenalworld.org/series/the-polycrisis/'>The Polycrisis newsletter</a>, which explores connections between energy, geopolitics, climate change, finance and industry.  <ul><li>Produced by Sarah Allely</li><li>Original music by Russell Stapleton</li><li>Mixed by Bethany Stewart</li></ul> Contact us at: polycrisispodcast@gmail.com
