The Intersection of Politics and Practicalities:The New Map and Energy Addition

In this in-depth conversation, Pulitzer Prize-winning author and S&P Global Vice Chairman Daniel Yergin reflects on his seminal book The New Map and the evolving energy landscape it predicted. Speaking to the intersection of geopolitics, markets, and policy, Yergin offers a timely assessment of how energy transitions are shifting global power—and what that means for both consumers and producers.

 In this interview we discuss:

·       How The New Map was received then—and what’s changed now

·       The tension between abundance vs. scarcity in today’s energy discourse

·       Whether governments are leaning toward rationing over supply

·       What advice Yergin would offer to policymakers navigating uncertainty
