But we’ve also seen an American revolution in technology and markets, resulting in a dramatic increase in sup-ply. This is strengthening America’s hand in the worldbut it’s not without complications. There are major security consequences of these shifts. Among the most consequential are China and India, Asia’s emerging giants, which are increasingly exposed to political risks associated with energy risks, as well as the energy flows, pivoting to Asia.
