Why We Can’t Quit Oil - Tom Kirkman

Why can't we quit oil? Are fossil fuels here to stay? As an accomplished project manager and PMO consultant, Tom Kirkman explains his perspective. He has worked with oil companies in over 30 countries throughout his career, including projects across offshore oil platforms, oil refineries, petrochemical plants, and more. In this episode, Tom explains why quitting fossil fuels is perhaps not such a good idea. While Tom remains convinced that fossil fuel production will need to increase (not decrease!) in the coming decades, he and our host Peter Perri had a healthy discussion on how hydrogen might facilitate an energy transition.
