GZERO World Clips

Highlights from the GZERO World with Ian Bremmer weekly television show.

Humanity is heading back to the Moon, but this time the goal is bigger than planting a flag. Cheaper launches and the potential discovery of usable lunar water could make permanent settlements possible – and turn the Moon into a valuable economic and strategic prize.

Ian Bremmer breaks down the new race for the Moon, from NASA’s Artemis program and the rise of commercial spaceflight to competing US and Chinese visions for the lunar surface. With existing treaties offering few answers about permanent settlements and infrastructure, who will write the rules – and can the Moon avoid becoming the next geopolitical battleground?

Powering what's next

Energy used to be a predictable cost. Now it's a constraint on growth, and businesses are rethinking how they plan and build.

GZERO Media’s Tony Maciulis sat down with Susan Uthayakumar, Chief Energy and Sustainability Officer at Prologis, to discuss how rising power demand from automation, AI and fleet electrification is changing where and how companies build. Together, they examine the role real estate plays in energy infrastructure, what effective public-private partnerships look like, and how on-site power generation can support communities in crisis.
