Humanity largely depends
on energy usage as technology advances. More energy definitely equals more
power in today’s world. However, the
nature unjustly distributed energy resources around the earth that obligates
some countries to acquire privileges in energy industry using capital and
political influence. Europe and US succeeded politic advancement in areas with
large oil reserves by colonization. Their influence in such areas spread
through and sustained by autocracy ruled by hypocrites over a few decades. Autocratic
hypocrites served well for the west until they became useless as the folks asked
for revolution. The scenario is as simple as the west intervening to overthrow
the dictators and ending the turbulence. In the past, there was always a new
servant hypocrite coming to power once the old one was toppled, however, nowadays;
the incumbents have to pass through a few critical international tests since
there is a notable increase in the number of influencers.

It is clear that
political incitation require long term and contingency planning. Developed
countries are aware of the benefits of future planning and always prefer
staying ahead comparing to those who are on the developing stage or yet to
develop. Hence, the world meets “The Energy Game” that comes out as the
successful future planning. Every country has a share from this game no matter
how large of reserves they have. The biggest players in the game can be named
as EU (as the consumer), US (consumer & seller), and Russia (seller). China
might be added but their worldwide reputation and presence seems to be a
follower more than a political influencer. OPEC can be considered as the
producer but its political efficiency seems to be unnoticeable.
