STRATFOR Discusses Energy Security

8 Oct 2012

Global energy security is dependent on consumer markets having easy access to oil and natural gas supplies, says Stratfor's Rodger Baker. In this video feature, Baker discusses the problems confronting energy security, to include safeguarding and developing vital supply routes.

In the third of a series of videos produced for us by our colleagues at external pageStratfor, Rodger Baker discusses some of the most important security challenges facing today’s global energy network. He begins by stressing the importance of safe and secure transportation links, which far-flung energy consumers nervously continue to rely upon. He then provides some predictions on what he believes the nature of energy security will look like in the short-term. He expects, for example, the construction of pipelines that will bypass the Strait of Hormuz and a greater dependence on shale oil and gas by the global energy system.
