What looks like a crisis for consumers, certain politicians, and excitable headline writers is actually a great trading opportunity. Yes, booms and busts are key features of the energy industry. But, at the end of the day, energy is what makes the economic world go round. “The Green Chicken,” Doomberg, joins Tony Greer, founder of TG Macro, to talk about old-school resources such as hard coking coal, oil, and natural gas and how they’re still absolutely critical to day-to-day commerce just about everywhere on Earth. Doomberg and Tony discuss Germany’s contingency coal-producing plan for a future without Russian gas, noting that Vladimir Putin could emerge as a long-term winner as a result of his rubles-for-oil payment scheme. As Doomberg put it, “How much energy you get to produce and sell gives you the power.” Recorded on May 25, 2022.
