Beyond the Wire: Why I Wrote “When the World Stops Counting on the US”
While my latest column is appearing in nearly 30 newspapers this week—including the Miami Herald and the Kansas City Star—there is a deeper technical story behind the headlines that I want to share with my readers here: the global energy transition.
The Insight: In my decades of covering this energy transformation, I’ve noticed a subtle but profound shift in how international officials discuss the United States. It is no longer about active opposition; it is about passive diversification.
Whether I am talking to energy ministers in Central Asia or utility leaders in India, the question is the same: How do we build a system that doesn’t break when the U.S. pivots?
Key Takeaways for My Readers:
-
The Geopolitical Tax: This isn’t just a political theory; it’s an economic reality. When the world loses trust in U.S. stability, it shows up in our supply chains and our borrowing costs.
-
Energy as Sovereignty: Global powers are now treating grid reliability and resource chains as their primary tools of independence.
-
The Permanent Shift: We need to stop asking if this is a temporary trend. The move toward a multi-polar system is a fundamental restructuring of the global order.
-
The US-China rivalry isn’t just about who sells more goods; it’s about who controls the Clean Energy Supply Chain. From India’s massive solar installations to the AI-driven power demands you’ve covered, the summit is essentially a negotiation over the 21st-century’s “fuel.”
Why it Matters: As a Geopolitical Analyst, my goal is to provide the primary-source intelligence that informs these shifts. You can follow the full national conversation and see the 25+ pickups and counting on my Muck Rack profile.
