Big Energy. What is it worth and how to live with it?

Today, despite the changing economic and technological paradigms, energy issues occupy one of the central places in the international and domestic politics of states, companies, NGOs, and local communities.

What awaits us with climate change? Why is electric transport being actively implemented? What drives price shocks in energy markets and governs the dynamics of oil and gas supplies? The author answers these and many other complex "energy" questions in detail, relying on official documents and statistical data. In addition, the book extensively examines technical, economic, trade, and political issues related to the production, transportation, and consumption of energy resources. With an emphasis on the climatic aspect, the main trends in the energy policies of Russia, the USA, the EU, and China are analyzed.
