Oil is the lifeblood of the global economy, and its misuse carries
the risk of heavy economic and environmental penalties. This book
is a collection of essays bearing on economic growth and
environmental concerns for a world that will continue to be
dependent on oil throughout the next century. Topics include the
outlook for petroleum demand and supply, the potential for
alternatives to a petroleum-based economy, the costs of controlling
automobile emissions, the environmental costs of moving oil by
tanker and pipeline, and competition issues in the production and
distribution of petroleum products. The wide range of topics
reflects the many different ways in which petroleum and use affect
the quality of our lives. The essays are the end results of an
initiative by the University of California Energy Institute and
reflect careful research into the costs and benefits of the
petroleum economy. Together, they offer new insights into the
critical task of living with oil, for today and for the future.
