New Energy, New Geopolitics

Background Report 1: Energy Impacts

This report evaluates the energy impacts of the dramatic increase in the production of shale gas and light tight oil in the United States. It examines how the unconventional energy trend has already impacted energy economics and policy and then posits several possible energy futures that could emerge from the unconventional revolution.
