Summary/Abstract: Since the First World War, it has been observed that the direct or indirect causes of most of crises occurring all over the world have been the will of the developed states to secure the transportation lines of energy and to take control of it. For that purpose, it is enough to consider the role of the energy in the field of development, the areas of energy use and the distribution of reserves on the planet. The asymmetric geopolitical situation and the global transport routes of coal, oil and gas as well as the locations where the highest energy consumer U.S. has deployed its troops yield a coded pattern of energy political behavior when an analysis of correlation is made.
