This 1989 book provides a nontechnical analysis of present and
future energy resources and their potential development to meet
future demand. The prevailing impression in popular discussion of
future energy supply is that a crisis will occur, sooner or later,
owing to the exhaustion of present resources. This informative and
thought-provoking book demonstrates that sufficient resources are
available to meet all energy needs for the foreseeable future.
However, this does not remove the threat of an energy-supply
crisis. What is lacking - the missing resource - is the knowledge
of how to use these resources in a practical and environmentally
acceptable manner. The author argues that long-term technical
development will be necessary to ensure future energy sufficiency
and that international cooperation on technical research,
environmental impact, and energy use is needed now to prevent a
succession of energy crises in the future. All those involved with
energy in a technical, business, or governmental policy capacity
will find book essential and rewarding reading.
