Summary:Peak oil is the point in time at which the maximum global petroleum production rate is reached, after which the rate of production enters its terminal decline. If global consumption is not mitigated before the peak, the availability of conventional oil will drop and prices will rise, perhaps dramatically. Meanwhile, the world is being threatened by global warming, partially due to our reliance on fossil fuels. This book offers a road map for those government officals who are trying to plan for an energy-scarce future.
