The Final Energy Crisis

Oil and gas are running out faster than the vast majority of people realise and this will have seismic consequences for the whole world. Even by the year 2005, oil will start to become in short supply, prices will start going up, and politicians will opt for the nuclear energy option - with all the consequences that this option implies. The Final Energy Crisis illustrates the oil shortages, explains why Kyoto agreements are impossible, and how the oil wars which already span the globe, from Angola to Chechnya, will only get worse as the need for cheap oil will dominate the world's political agenda.
