Energy in flux

Journal article

Tectonic forces are roiling global energy markets. China and India have emerged simultaneously both as mighty consumers and shrewd market players – they represent the new factor of ‘might and market’ in global energy. Russia, meanwhile, is leading a wave of natural-resource nationalism, while asserting itself politically by leveraging its formidable market presence.

The critical mass of human capital is also migrating: as Western expertise ages and fades, the former Soviet states and Asia are filling the gap. For the wide variety of technologies ranging from crude oil to nuclear power to fuel cells, the centres of technology, application, know-how, and human capital are progressively developing outside the West.
