In simple, linear industries, that strategy can work. But in a complex, rapidly evolving sector like energy, picking a single winner is a high-risk gamble. Energy is not a single business; it is an interconnected ecosystem. Demand surges, geopolitical shocks, policy mandates, and technological breakthroughs do not impact every link in the supply chain at the same time or in the same way. Instead of trying to predict…
