Abstract

  • High-quality and low-cost domestic Natural Gas Liquids (NGLs) are fuelling a renaissance in US manufacturing.
  • Appalachia is positioned to be the natural gas capital of America, and the center of advanced plastics production in the world.
  • American exports of shale energy are surging, providing new opportunities for US firms and the economy.
  • Driven by domestic political considerations and its new energy security, America’s commitment to the post-World War II international system is waning.
  • American foreign policy will be much more reactive, unpredictable, and insular than anytime in the past.
  • With American security guarantees being removed from around the world, the threat of major wars and conflicts will reappear, as geopolitics “returns to history.”
