About this listen

Political leaders in Europe must boost availability of cheap energy and deregulate or risk deeper deindustrialization, according to Peter Huntsman, CEO of Huntsman.

- AI will require vast amounts of cheap energy, Europe disadvantaged

- EU energy policies have closed access to huge reserves of oil and gas

- Europe has outsourced manufacturing, often to more polluting regions

- CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism) does not work, increases costs of imported raw materials

- Tackle climate change through use of innovative materials, nuclear fusion

- Tariffs are hurting any nascent economic recovery

- Don’t expect strong economic bounce back in 2026

- US reshoring will drive industrial and chemicals demand

- China-driven overcapacity will persist for several years
