aiming to reassert American power through fossil fuel exports.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Record U.S. production:<\/strong> U.S. oil and gas production have reached record highs, largely boosted by the shale revolution, with LNG exports dominating global markets.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Strategic control dilemmas:<\/strong> Despite high production levels, U.S. struggles to control market prices due to OPEC+ influence, shipping issues, and the rise of renewables. <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Coercion and compliance:<\/strong> Coercive measures have secured some commitments from allies like Europe, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan to buy U.S. fossil fuels, often for security and protection from tariffs rather than economics.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>China&#8217;s clean-technology dominance:<\/strong> Unlike the U.S., China has pivoted to becoming a leader in clean-technology sectors, manufacturing most solar panels, wind turbines, EV batteries, and critical minerals.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Energy security and Taiwan&#8217;s predicament:<\/strong> Taiwan faces an energy crisis if cut off from LNG supplies during a conflict, highlighting its dependence on imported energy and its exposure to geopolitical risks.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Taiwan&#8217;s strategy:<\/strong> Taiwan aims to diversify energy sources, increasing American LNG imports and expanding its renewable energy capacity to achieve net-zero targets while balancing against Chinese pressure.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Critique of &#8216;energy dominance&#8217;:<\/strong> The article argues the strategy of &#8216;energy dominance&#8217;
