Goodbye Cheap Energy : How the End of Abundant Energy Is Reshaping the World
Overview
For generations, cheap and abundant energy powered economic growth, globalization, industry, transportation, agriculture, and rising living standards. That era may be coming to an end.
Goodbye Cheap Energy explores the forces transforming the global energy system and asks a fundamental question: what happens to modern civilization when reliable energy can no longer be taken for granted?
From oil and natural gas to coal, nuclear power, renewable energy, batteries, critical minerals, electricity grids, and artificial intelligence, this book examines the enormous transition already reshaping the global economy.
Discover why energy prices influence almost everything around us, including food, transportation, housing, manufacturing, inflation, technology, and geopolitical power. Explore why electricity demand may surge in the age of AI and data centers, why nuclear energy is returning to the global conversation, why critical minerals are becoming strategic resources, and why the transition toward renewable energy is far more complicated than simply replacing fossil fuels with solar panels and wind turbines.
Goodbye Cheap Energy also looks toward 2040 and beyond, examining which countries may emerge as winners and losers in the new energy order and whether technological progress could eventually create a new era of energy abundance.
This is not a book about choosing sides in the energy debate. It is an examination of the physical, economic, technological, and geopolitical realities beneath it.
Cheap energy built the modern world. What happens when the system that provided it begins to change?
