Central government policies; Energy; Alternative & renewable energy sources & technology

The next era of power will be decided not in oilfields but in factories, grids, and the quiet politics of standards. This book shows how the energy transition is shifting rents, redrawing alliances, and testing governments that long relied on hydrocarbons. It explains who may benefit from critical minerals, how renewable tech scales in the real world, and why grid modernisation and future debates over power grids are now national security issues.

Across case studies and clear frameworks, you will learn how pricing, physics, and policy interact without hype. The analysis tracks OPEC decline, the hard choices behind nuclear diplomacy, and the economics of electrifying homes, industry, and transport. Instead of forecasts, it offers a practical lens for judging strategies in a post-fossil economy: map supply chains, follow financing, and measure delivery against reliability, affordability, and emissions.

For executives, policymakers, investors, and curious citizens, this is a grounded guide to resource geopolitics and climate economics. It equips you to distinguish signal from noise, to see risks before they bite, and to spot credible solutions amid slogans.

Dr. Victor Serrano is a Spanish energy economist and geopolitical strategist who advises institutions on resource transitions and system resilience. His work focuses on how technology, finance, and policy shape the incentives that make or break large infrastructure shifts. A lecturer and frequent briefings lead, he has spent two decades translating complex energy systems into decisions that citizens and leaders can trust. Raised near a Mediterranean port, he learned early how ships, grids, and markets connect local fortunes to global tides. His mission is pragmatic foresight: follow physics, price risk honestly, and design institutions that share benefits fairly.
