I share the one chart that is not getting nearly enough attention, given its immense implications for the world economy. This chart reveals a massive power shift that markets haven't priced in, and it could reshape the entire future of AI, manufacturing, and geopolitics. I detail how I am positioning my portfolio to take advantage of it.

Energy sector fundamentals are strengthening as both demand and supply are increasingly supported by governments and major organizations, reversing years of pessimism. Oil and natural gas demand is projected to grow through 2050, with the IEA and Goldman Sachs revising their outlooks upward, especially as renewables adoption slows. Midstream companies like WMB, KMI, TRP, ET, DT, and MPLX are poised to benefit from infrastructure expansion, alleviating supply bottlenecks and supporting future growth.

WMB, KMI & EPD's midstream model offers predictable cash flows, making it a standout for risk-averse investors amid volatile energy markets.
