Description (excerpt):
Dominance in the great energy game used to mean control over the fossil fuels that often lurked thousands of feet beneath the earth’s surface. The one that owned the raw resources controlled the energy ‘chess game’ and could run the board. Today, however, there is a new game in town. The new Great Game involves liberating energy from geography, and the winners will be those who find the methods to create clean energy from renewables such as wind and solar, carbon-scrubbed oil, natural gas and coal, and nuclear and efficiency systems. This new Great Game is a race for technology.
Every major transformation of our societies was stimulated or driven by a change in technology. Similarly to the way that fire ignited the evolution of man, or the steam engine drove enormous economic development in the Industrial Revolution, the technology for producing clean energies will transform the way the world trades, engages, and connects.
