Kiss goodbye to your boarding pass and then your car keys (in that order?)
A friend of mine - David Strahan - recently published his latest book - 'The Last Oil Shock'. Check out his website at www.davidstrahan.com
I read an early draft and was very impressed with the level of detail David has gone into and the weight of evidence he presents in relation to the impending 'oil shock' - generic terminology describing the period after oil demand exceeds supply - forever...
It's clear the oil shock *will* happen - it's really just a question of when. I'd recommend everyone to read it - simply because the ramifications in social terms will be huge.
Of course the optimist in me sees a bright future where we have used our combined intelligence and the Internet (of course!) to create a new future where we're much less dependent on existing energy sources (including oil). So... we have 2 major global crisis rapidly emerging - 'The Last Oil Shock' and 'Climate Change'. As Al says - 'crisis' in Chinese consists of 2 symbols - 'Danger & Opportunity' - I suspect the 'solutions' to both of these problems very much overlap and David (I hope) will be contributing at the upcoming Energy 2.0 event we'll be announcing soon to discuss the opportunities that are being created as a result.
The Last Oil Shock is the explosive new book from David Strahan that explains why you may soon be kissing your car keys and boarding pass goodbye.
| For every barrel of oil we discover, we now consume three. | |
| Oil production is already falling in 60 countries. | |
| At some point, probably in the next decade, global oil production will start to fall – for ever. | |
And that's when things start to get interesting...
