About this episode

Talk of energy has been storming the headlines recently. A long, cold winter is approaching and prices are soaring, due to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict...

Meanwhile Russia stands accused of sabotaging gas pipelines which lead to the EU. In addition to a geopolitical crisis, Europe is now experiencing an energy crisis marked by the increase in the price of gas.
