Many argue that this ongoing transformation of the energy industry will change the global order and geopolitical power forever. Oil-producing countries, such as those in the Persian Gulf, will risk collapse, Russia will lose power, China will increasingly expand its energy dominance and its sphere of geopolitical influence, and new countries will come to the fore.
