Are we powering the future — or fueling a crisis?

The global energy transition is no longer a distant conversation — it’s the battleground of our decade. On August 4th at 3PM CET, two of the most outspoken and influential voices in the energy world face off in a live debate you won’t want to miss.

Featuring:

Lars Schernikau – Economist, author, energy trader, supports conventional energy (coal, gas, nuclear, hydro, etc

Karim Megherbi – Renewable energy executive and global advocate for Net Zero, supports renewable energy (wind, solar, batteries, hydro, etc)

Moderated by Arnes Biogradlija, Founder of EnergyNews.biz

Debate Topics:

– Net Zero: Urgent Priority or Unrealistic Target?
-Energy Costs and Subsidies: Who Really Pays for Net Zero?
-Can Renewables and Green Hydrogen Replace Fossil Fuels at Scale?
-Gas vs Coal: Europe’s Strategic Choice for the Energy Transition
-Nuclear Power: Essential Solution or Risky Distraction?

This isn’t a panel. It’s a collision.

One believes renewables are the future. The other says we’re deluding ourselves.
One sees gas as a bridge. The other sees it as a trap.
One calls Net Zero non-negotiable. The other calls it impossible.
