Energy Demand Is Rising.
Supply Is Constrained.
The world still runs on carbon-based energy. In 2023, 82% of global power came from oil, coal, and natural gas, and U.S. demand continues to outpace domestic production by five million barrels per day. Meanwhile, institutional capital is quietly flowing back into oil and gas—Blackstone, KKR, Warburg Pincus, and even Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway have committed billions into U.S. energy since 2022.
