List of EFOW Publications (2026): For “our Good Future Making”.
We live in a defining moment for the global energy architecture, where geopolitics, economic realities, and corporate leadership paradigms are actively colliding. This curated collection of essays and presentations- readable on Linkedin- offers a deep, systemic exploration into the “Our Good Future Making”—examining the structural gaps in our current systems (“System A”) and charting a deliberate, ethical path toward a sustainable, equitable, and attuned alternative: System B.
From the shifting new military-industrial logic in Europe and the geopolitical realities of American fracking, to the essential blueprints required for national power plans and shared stewardship with Big Oil, these pieces challenge conventional wisdom. They bridge the gap between hard energy analytics and the profound leadership lessons required for “good future making” in the century we are in.
