If you want to understand the (American) mainstream viewpoint on energy in the modern world, the status of oil (have we reached 'peak oil' yet?), and the future of energy resources and supply, this is the book to read.

If you want to understand the (American) mainstream viewpoint on energy in the modern world, the status of oil (have we reached 'peak oil' yet?), and the future of energy resources and supply, this is the book to read. Forged firmly within the core of US conditions and business practise, this one will let you know where the oil majors are coming from, what their thinking is in terms of the timeline and development status of alternatives to hydrocarbon energy sources and, therefore, what likely administration policies may emerge from Washington over the next little while. If you are a deep, dark greenie, you won't much like a lot of this perspective but that doesn't stop it from being highly informative.
