Energy transition or energy expansion?
What would a world without the U.S. petrodollar look like, feel like, smell like? Rooted in abolitionist, anti-colonial and anarchist thinking, Julio Linares takes us from the counter of a community bar onto a journey across debt cancellation, community-owned solar currencies and the burning of dollar bills.
This episode is based on the event Gas at the Frontiers of Energy Imperialism organised by Global South United (Instagram) and WeSmellGas on Sunday 5th April 2026 in Berlin. With contributions from Disrupt Power, Afoa Activist Community, Netzwerk Wedding.

A clear example of this has been the use of the island to support the Zionist genocide in Palestine and the increasing authoritarian measures against people who organize for a different system.
