Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The 'shale revolution' in oil and gas made possible by fracking technology, but not without controversy, has transformed the American economy, giving the United States unprecedented leverage in the world while putting an end to the 'era of shortage'. Almost overnight, and without many Americans realising it, the United States has become the world's number one energy powerhouse. Yergin brilliantly reveals and explains the 'new map' to show the great energy and geopolitical transformations looming for Americans and the world -- at the very moment they influence the 2020 U.S. presidential election.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 435-469) and index.
Introduction -- America's new map -- Russia's map -- China's map -- Maps of the Middle East -- Roadmap -- Climate map -- Conclusion: The disrupted future.
"Recent changes in the global production and flow of energy have remade the world. In this book, the author reveals the forces shaping the future of energy, both renewable and fossil fuel. The New Map offers a new vision of the world's energy reserves and, therefore, the future of geopolitics"-- Provided by publisher.
