Energy markets are in transition. The oil market is in the midst of one of its steepest price collapses in history, the first-ever shipment of US LNG from the lower 48 recently set sail, renewable costs are falling dramatically and nearly 200 nations came together in Paris to agree to change the energy mix as we know it.
