In this interview, recorded at PDAC 2025, Robert Johnston, Senior Director of Research at Columbia University’s Centre on Global Energy Policy, discusses the evolving landscape of energy security, particularly in relation to critical minerals and recent U.S.-Canada tariffs. He highlights a significant shift from linking critical minerals primarily to energy transition to focusing on national security and high-tech sectors.
Johnston also emphasizes the importance of government intervention in clean energy production and its implications for the future of energy strategy, particularly in light of geopolitical tensions and trade issues.
