The Myth of the Oil Crisis: Overcoming the Challenges of Depletion Geopolitics and Global Warming

About this book

With oil around $100 a barrel drivers wince whenever they pull into the gas station and businesses watch their bottom lines shrink. Watch out say doomsayers it will only get worse as oil dries up. Its a plausible argument especially considering the rate at which countries like China and India are now sucking up oil. Even more troubling the worlds largest oil fields sit in geopolitical hotspots like Iran and Iraq. Some believe their nations need to secure remaining supplies using military force while others consider dwindling supplies a blessing that will help solve the problem of global warming. But waitis it really the end of oil? Absolutely not says geologist economist and industry-insider Robin Mills. There is no other book by an industry insider that effectively counters the peak oil theory by showing where and how oil will be found in the future. There also is no other book by an insider that lays out an environmentally and geopolitically responsible path for the petroleum industry and its customers. The Myth of the Oil Crisis written in a lively style but with scientific rigor is thus a uniquely useful resource for business leaders policymakers petroleum industry professionals environmentalists and anyone else who consumes oil. Best of all it offers an abundance of one commodity now in short supply: hope for the future.
