small and medium-sized enterprises, not the big IOCs because this requires significant flexibility, being smart and agile, rather than gigantic IOCs like Exxon Mobil
and Chevron could do it. However, the US also has not only energy resources, she
demands a global dominance, but it also has the world’s most powerful military.
It has more than 20 aircraft carriers around the world that are held together 40 in
the world aircraft carriers more than half the United States and it allowed them to
project power in the East China Sea in Latin America, in Africa, everywhere, the
Mediterranean, the Gulf so the US is going to use its military power and muscle
whenever needs to be to help guarantee its global dominance power. Also, economically, the US is still number one, according to some calculations, it might be number
two after China. But whatever we say the US is still the most important economic
superpower in the world. So, it will use its policy muscles again to enhance its strategy for being number one in pursuing global dominance strategy. But in my opinion, it is not only energy, the US has to develop dominance in precious metals and
mines. So, the US must develop its own lithium strategy and it has to develop a
space superiority strategy. It is the first power who armed space; also controlling
oceans. These are areas where a world power can practice its superiority. And the
US right now has this possibility.
Nobody knows whether the US can do this next 20 years 15 years down the road
because China is catching up. So will Russia and India and Indonesia and since the
US alone, not together with EU, it has to quicken up efforts to dominate trade,
investment, energy, space, oceans, military and because if you read the National

to the second half of the twenty-first century. China has this 2049 strategy called
peaceful rice. And its objective used to be number one in the world. Not only in
economy but in military, energy, food, space, oceans. Hence, the US is feeling the
heat and the pressure that it has to act when it is still military power.
Energy Diplomacy Under Biden
The Trump administration sought to maximize domestic oil and gas production
capacity to fulfill the slogan of energy domination. Given Biden’s promise to ban
new drilling permits on federal lands and waters to combat climate change, oil, and
gas production in these areas should not be expected to increase. Given that Biden
has not emphasized the issue of energy dominance, it is natural that in the global
energy market, using energy diplomacy, it will seek to protect US national interests,
and Biden will need the cooperation of OPEC and Russia to stabilize the global
oil market.
The cost of gasoline and car prices has risen and people are turning to e-cars, and
given that the car market economy in the United States is highly important, all of
this will have a significant impact on demand for gasoline and oil. The peak of
demand is emerging faster and as mentioned earlier, the world market will be more
sensitive to demand. It may be widely believed that outside the United States, coun7 Conclusion
