Roy op het Veld De strijd om energie
hoe de groeiende honger naar olie en gas de wereld in een crisis stort
De wereld loopt langzaam maar zeker vast in een sluipende energiecrisis. Door de snelle en aanhoudende economische groei van China en India stijgt de vraag naar energie.

De eens zo dominante oliereuzen als Shell en ExxonMobil verliezen terrein aan staatsenergiemaatschappijen als Saudi Aramco en Gazprom. Zo langzamerhand krijgen...
