Abstract: Abstract Strategy is the art of achieving advantage in the face of uncertainties and constrained by limited resources. Money is a limited resource, mediating the exchange for goods and services. Energy is a limited resource that humanity has consumed for its entire history, as animal power, fire, wind, fossil fuels, and so on. Carbon is becoming a global constraint as an externality from our fossil-fuel-based economy. Energy as Strategy is a new discipline that creates strategic competitive advantages at the nexus of constraints between energy, carbon, and money. Because of their interrelated nature, the strategies, risks, and opportunities of each resource affect those of the others. Part I explores these nexuses in five chapters.
