They argue that the global shift away from nuclear energy after Fukushima has artificially increased the demand and value of natural gas. Israel is reportedly already making deals to ship gas to India, further cementing its role in the new energy order.

The hosts compare this process to the post-Soviet Russian model of creating billionaires through the sale of public assets to well-connected oligarchs.
