UPS
October Cover to Cover: Meghan L. O'Sullivan

In  Windfall: How the New Energy Abundance Upends Global Politics and Strengthens America's Power , Meghan L.  O'Sullivan  (full bio), Harvard professor and former Deputy National Security Advisor for President George W. Bush, proposes that significant changes in the last decade of America's energy sector - the shift from scarcity to abundance of oil and gas, environmental concerns, technology, innovation and ingenuity within the industry - are transforming politics and foreign policy to the advantage of the United States. Her book calls for a change in the thinking of policymakers, government leaders and elected officials to a new energy reality that has more upsides than downsides for America's economy and its position in the world.
