Скачать или смотреть The U.S. Just Lost Its Last Energy Advantage (And No One Is Talking About It)

#Energy #Geopolitics #UnitedStates #China #Oil #Gas #PowerShift

For more than a decade, the United States believed it held the ultimate strategic advantage: energy dominance.

Shale changed the game. America became the world’s largest producer of oil and natural gas. OPEC lost control. Russia lost leverage. Energy prices fell, and Washington gained confidence that no geopolitical shock could threaten its position again.

That belief is now quietly breaking.

Not because production collapsed.
Not because reserves ran dry.
But because the system that created that advantage was never built to last.

While markets celebrated efficiency and abundance, the world was changing underneath the surface. Capital discipline replaced growth. Infrastructure aged. Spare capacity disappeared. And global demand didn’t fall — it shifted.

This didn’t happen with headlines.
It happened with balance sheets, contracts, and structural constraints.

Today, the United States still produces enormous amounts of energy — but control has slipped. Pricing power is weaker. Flexibility is limited. Domestic stability is increasingly tied to global volatility.

And the countries that prepared for this moment are no longer reacting — they’re absorbing.

This is the story no one is really talking about.

In this video, we break down:
→ Why energy dominance was always more fragile than it looked
→ How shale production lost its ability to stabilize global markets
→ Why spare capacity matters more than total output
→ How OPEC quietly regained leverage
→ Why LNG exports are creating new vulnerabilities
→ How the energy transition reshapes power instead of neutralizing it
→ Why grids, storage, and infrastructure now matter more than oil fields
→ What this means for U.S. allies — and U.S. credibility
→ The future of energy power in an unstable world

This isn’t about collapse.
It’s about constraint.

Energy advantage doesn’t disappear loudly. It fades — until the moment it’s needed most.

📊 KEY DATA POINTS

U.S. oil production: world’s largest — but near plateau
Shale well decline rates: ~60–70% in first year
Global spare capacity: increasingly concentrated outside the U.S.
Strategic petroleum reserve: drawn down to historic lows
U.S. refining capacity: declining over the past decade
China energy reserves: among the largest globally
Grid infrastructure: majority built mid-20th century
Energy demand growth: driven by Asia & electrification

The world isn’t running out of energy.
It’s running out of resilience.
