The panel unpacks the Constitutional Court’s decision blocking Shell’s Wild Coast exploration and asks what it means for South Africa’s economic future. They discuss projections from The Common Sense which shows that exploiting South Africa's oil and gas resources could double the rate of economic growth in the country. The panel also discusses the folly of net-zero policy, the cost of renewable energy, and how restrictions on oil and gas development will further undermine growth, jobs, and energy security in South Africa.
