A Wall Street Journal besteller and a USA Today Best Book of 2020
Named Energy Writer of the Year for The New Map by the American
Energy Society "A master class on how the world works." -NPR
Pulitzer Prize-winning author and global energy expert, Daniel
Yergin offers a revelatory new account of how energy revolutions,
climate battles, and geopolitics are mapping our future The world
is being shaken by the collision of energy, climate change, and the
clashing power of nations in a time of global crisis. Out of this
tumult is emerging a new map of energy and geopolitics. The "shale
revolution" in oil and gas has transformed the American economy,
ending the "era of shortage" but introducing a turbulent new era.
Almost overnight, the United States has become the world's number
one energy powerhouse. Yet concern about energy's role in climate
change is challenging the global economy and way of life,
accelerating a second energy revolution in the search for a
low-carbon future. All of this has been made starker and more
urgent by the coronavirus pandemic and the economic dark age that
it has wrought. World politics is being upended, as a new cold war
develops between the United States and China, and the rivalry grows
more dangerous with Russia, which is pivoting east toward Beijing.
Vladimir Putin and China's Xi Jinping are converging both on energy
and on challenging American leadership, as China projects its power
and influence in all directions. The South China Sea, claimed by
China and the world's most critical trade route, could become the
arena where the United States and China directly collide. The map
of the Middle East, which was laid down after World War I, is being
challenged by jihadists, revolutionary Iran, ethnic and religious
clashes, and restive populations. But the region has also been
shocked by the two recent oil price collapses--and by the very
question of oil's future in the rest of this century. A master
storyteller and global energy expert, Daniel Yergin takes the
reader on an utterly riveting and timely journey across the world's
new map. He illuminates the great energy and geopolitical questions
in an era of rising political turbulence and points to the profound
challenges that lie ahead.
