Energy Shift: Game-Changing Options for Fueling the Future
by Eric Spiegel and Neil McArthur with Rob Norton, 2009

This book comes from the “strategy+business” series of the consulting firm Booz & Company. I used to work for Booz Allen Hamilton (mostly government contracting), which spun off Booz & Company (mostly private contracting) a few years before I started.

The book is a good overview of relevant energy issues for business executives. It describes the change and uncertainty in energy procurement and generation in the coming decades. It’s a little bit “higher level” than most of the other stuff I’ve been reading lately and thus provides broad-stroke guidance to business executives looking to stay in front of energy issues. It focuses on a few of the most relevant issues and is a quick read. It is peppered with sidebar essays by executives in the energy field. While it was written in 2009, I found 90% of the information to still be accurate in 2015.
