Marianne Kah spent 25 years as chief economist at ConocoPhillips, where she developed market forecasts and led scenario planning at the multinational giant. Today she is an adjunct senior research scholar and advisory board member at the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University, and calls Santa Fe, New Mexico, home.
In a recent discussion with Capital & Main, Kah took a 30,000-foot view of the fossil fuel landscape with a focus on New Mexico, the nation’s No. 2 oil-producing state. She talked about the upcoming presidential election, President Biden’s energy actions, Vice President Harris’ policy shifts and former President Trump’s “Drill, Baby, Drill” energy policy. She also talked about the renewable fuels landscape and the need for wealthy countries to step up their spending on climate change adaptation.
