About this item

"Riveting and comprehensive...a smart, deeply researched primer on the subject." - The New York Times Book Review Windfall is the boldest profile of the world's energy resources since Daniel Yergin's The Quest, asserting that the new energy abundance - due to oil and gas resources once deemed too expensive - is transforming the geo-political order and is boosting American power.As a new administration focuses on driving American energy production, O'Sullivan's "refreshing and illuminating" (Foreign Policy) Windfall describes how new energy realities have profoundly affected the world of international relations and security. New technologies led to oversupplied oil markets and an emerging natural gas glut. This did more than drive down prices - it changed the structure of markets and altered the way many countries wield power and influence.
