“This is an candid account of how energy revolutions, climate wars, and geopolitics will affect our future. Brilliantly voiced, Ergin invites the reader on an exciting journey across a ‘new map’ of the world that is already taking shape as a result of sweeping changes in the political interests of some states and in energy.
The author shows and explains in detail how a new future for our planet is born, and describes the unavoidable problems we will have to face soon. At the center of his attention is the unexpectedly started shale revolution, which changes America’s place in the world, and the role of energy in the new ‘cold war’—on one side the USA, and on the other Russia and China.
This transformation of global energy markets and the world geopolitical balance leads us to an ‘energy turn’: a shift from the world of today—where fossil fuels dominate—to a world that increasingly uses renewable energy sources.”
