A year ago, back before Puck was even a thing, I chatted with my friend Dan Yergin, one of the world’s leading authorities on our collective energy transformation as well as the author of The New Map: Energy, Climate and the Clash of Nations, in which he argues that shovels, for mining rare commodities, will one day be more important than drilling rigs. He is also a Pulitzer Prize winner, of course, for his fourth book, The Prize, and a vice-chairman of S&P Global, the data behemoth. He’s a busy man, and prophetic. When we spoke last September, Dan predicted a series of developments then still on the horizon: supply-chain troubles with electric cars, Europe’s energy crisis, and Joe Biden’s climate reduction goals, among others.
