Description

The New Map: Energy, Climate, and the Clash of Nations A new era of global politics is emerging, driven by the intersection of energy, climate change, and geopolitics. The global landscape is being reshaped by the shale revolution in oil and gas, the rise of renewable energy, and the ongoing impact of the coronavirus. As the world's leading energy powerhouse, the United States is leveraging its newfound influence to challenge the status quo, while Russia and China are pivoting east to counter America's dominance. The Middle East, a region that has long been a critical hub of global energy production, is facing significant challenges. The recent oil price collapse has exposed deep-seated tensions, and the rise of ISIS and Iran's Revolutionary Guards has further destabilized the region. Meanwhile, the world's oil producers, from the Middle East to corporate boardrooms around the globe, are grappling with the reality of peak demand for oil and the accelerating shift towards renewable energy. This book provides a sweeping narrative of how the role of energy in climate change is reshaping geopolitical discussions, challenging industries and lifestyles, and driving a second energy revolution. With realism and insight, it brings a fresh perspective to the debates over the energy transition.
