The myth of the oil crisis

Overcoming the challenges of depletion, geopolitics, and global warming

Robin Mills; 2008

This book explores myths surrounding the global consumption of oil as the author argues that the supply of oil and gas is much larger than imagined, control of oil supplies is unnecessary and expensive and above all, oil is merely one source of energy. Opportunities exist to decrease the global consumption of oil radically while maintaining a healthy economy.
