POWER PLAYS:
How the Battle for Electrons
Will Define the 21st Century
The Next Great Power Struggle Isn’t Political — It’s Electrical.
Electricity, the invisible force powering our modern lives, is fast becoming the world’s most contested resource. In Power Plays, Jacques Beaudry-Losique reveals how America’s aging grid is buckling under the weight of the digital revolution and policy constraints. From AI servers to electric vehicles and heat pumps, demand for power is skyrocketing, yet the systems built to deliver it are decades out of date.
Beaudry-Losique, who spent many years as an energy sector executive, exposes the hidden “battle for electrons” between tech giants, utilities, other users and the public at large — all scrambling to secure limited supply. The lack of cohesion among policymakers complicates the situation. Through vivid examples like the electricity crunch in Loudoun County, Virginia, he shows how local grid shortages mirror a much larger national emergency.
But Power Plays isn’t just a warning — it’s a plan. Beaudry-Losique outlines how smarter regulation, modernized infrastructure, and decentralized energy systems can prevent the coming “electron apocalypse.”
This book is a wake-up call for anyone who depends on power—which is to say, everyone. The next great geopolitical and economic competition won’t be over oil or data, but over who controls the flow of electricity.
