"This book explains both why the decline of our most precious fuel
is inevitable and how challenging it will be to cope with what
comes next."--Richard E. Smalley, University Professor, Rice
University, and 1996 Nobel laureate
With world oil production about to peak and inexorably head toward
steep decline, what fuels are available to meet rising global
energy demands? That question, once thought to address a fairly
remote contingency, has become ever more urgent, as a spate of
books has drawn increased public attention to the imminent
exhaustion of the economically vital world oil reserves. Kenneth S.
Deffeyes, a geologist who was among the first to warn of the coming
oil crisis, now takes the next logical step and turns his attention
to the earth's supply of potential replacement fuels. In "Beyond
Oil," he traces out their likely production futures, with special
reference to that of oil, utilizing the same analytic tools
developed by his former colleague, the pioneering petroleum-supply
authority M. King Hubbert.
"The bad news in this book is made bearable by the author's witty,
conversational writing style. If my college econ textbooks had been
written this way, I might have learned economics." --Rupert Cutler,
"The Roanoke Times"
