Transportation fuel and electric power prices, energy security, and climate change have been on every business leader’s mind. Recent shifts in scientific knowledge, public awareness, and political will are causing governments to take meaningful regulatory and legislative action. And multinational corporations are factoring new realities and uncertainties into their strategies and operations.

Energy Shift: Game-Changing Options for Fueling the Future is a one-stop resource for busy executives and senior policymakers who need a reliable, accessible guide to the big strategy questions surrounding energy.

Supported by the latest studies, articles, and research conducted by Booz & Company, Energy Shift is a visual guide that puts the most up-to date information on the future of energy in a handy, easy-to-use format.

Additionally, this forward-thinking handbook discusses the new opportunities that will arise for investors, corporations, and governments in such areas as

• Oil
• Coal

• Nuclear energy
• Transportation alternatives, including biofuels, electricity, and hydrogen
• Renewable energy sources, including wind, solar, geothermal, and biomass
