With oil prices at the time of this interview–April 2026–close to $100/ barrel because of the war in Iran, will we see higher deployment of renewable energy and electric vehicles (EV)?

Topics discussed include:
Why large U.S. companies are investing in renewable energy and how high oil prices could affect them.

How China’s aggressive deployment of solar will impact oil prices there.
How Pakistan is insulated to some degree by its solar deployment.
