HALF GONE
Oil, Gas, Hot Air & the Global Energy Crisis

The single global marketplace we all inhabit is built on the notion of a solid, growing supply of cheap oil and gas for decades to come. But that bedrock is about to crack and crumble.

POWERDOWN
Options & Actions For A Post Carbon World
Richard Heinberg
Oil is running out and, if the Western world continues with its current policies, the next decades will likely be marked by war, economic collapse, and environmental catastrophe. There are alternatives. A 'Powerdown' strategy, for example, would aim to reduce per-capita resource usage, develop alternative energy sources, distribute resources more equitably, and reduce the human population over time. 244p
