THE NEW MAP - DANIEL YERGIN KARTONIERT (TB)

A new type of Cold War is emerging between China and the West. . The global order is being
simultaneously shaken by climate change and the shale revolution in oil and gas - and now by
the coronavirus. Controversial fracking technology has given America unprecedented leverage as
the world's leading energy powerhouse  ahead of Saudi Arabia and Russia  upending the
chessboard of global politics and changing the psychology of the global economy. Despite being
weighed down by sanctions  Russia is pivoting east toward China as Vladimir Putin and Xi
Jinping unite to challenge America and lay claim to almost all of the South China Sea  one of
the world's most critical trade routes. Elsewhere  the map of the Middle East created after
World War I is being attacked by ISIS and Iran's Revolutionary Guards as the region struggles
to come to grips with the recent oil price collapse caused by the rise of shale. Oil producers
from the Middle East and Moscow to corporate boardrooms around the world  now fear that peak
demand for oil is coming as renewable energy vies with fossil fuels. The New Map tells a
sweeping story about how the role of energy in climate change is shaping geopolitical
discussions  challenging our industries and our lifestyles  and accelerating a second energy
revolution - the quest for renewables. It also brings realism to the debates over the energy
transition.
