How Fossil Fuels Re-Drew The World’s Maps

Welcome to Episode 1 of POWER, a four-part series presented by Jack Harries and Joi Lee in which we unravel the origins of the global energy crisis and explore how fossil fuels came to rule our world. In this episode, we explore how the quest to secure access to fossil fuels has shaped geopolitical relations in the modern world. From the United States’ continued supply of arms to Saudi Arabia, to Russia’s strained relationship with the West: at the heart of it is our addiction to fossil fuels. Join us as we discover how fossil fuels have shaped the current geopolitical map, and unpick the relationship between energy production and geopolitical power. ⏱ TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Introduction 1:30 - Oil As A Weapon 4:46 - The Oil Cartel 8:04 - New Power 10:50 Credits 📲 FOLLOW US ON SOCIALS: Instagram ➔ https://www.instagram.com/earthrise.studio/ LinkedIn ➔ https://www.linkedin.com/company/earthrise-studio/ Threads ➔ https://www.threads.net/@earthrise.studio TikTok ➔ https://www.tiktok.com/@earthrise.studio Join Our Mailing List ➔ http://eepurl.com/g9oaoz CODE: LD-LYRNUA6KMVLG0
