Top Line Considerations Vol. 3: The Energy Puzzle: Resilience, Diversification and Managed Interdependence
Q4 2026 · By Robert C. Mulverhill, Executive Chairman, OXT Technologies, and Managing Director, IBC Ventures
For decades, energy strategy optimized for cost and just-in-time delivery on the assumption of stable geopolitics and open trade routes. That assumption no longer holds. In this paper, energy-technology strategist Bob Mulverhill argues that between 2026 and 2030, energy security will mean managed interdependence, not independence. Oil and gas will remain stabilizing anchors, but inside a more complex system shaped by electrification, clean fuels, rising AI-driven demand, and chokepoint risk from Hormuz to the Red Sea. The paper closes with five action items for management teams and five steps to take in the next 90 days
