Trends with Benefits #83: Explaining the Impact of the Energy Transition with Shawn Reynolds
September 01, 2022
Listen Time 32:33 MIN
What will the energy transition mean for the demand of critical metals, and is there enough supply to reach the goal of net zero emissions? Further, there are tradeoffs many don’t seem to be acknowledging. I meet with Shawn Reynolds who serves as VanEck’s Portfolio Manager for Global Resources and is trained in petroleum geology and earth science. We chat about the energy transition as well as the pros and cons of the recently passed climate bill, what types of companies are likely to benefit from it, and if it goes far enough. We also discuss Shawn’s outlook on inflation and commodities.
