About this book
Paul Roberts examines the dependence of modern economies on oil and the pressures building around energy supply, demand and climate. He connects the geology and economics of fossil fuels with the political choices that shape how energy is produced and consumed.
Written at the start of the twenty-first century, this investigation considers emerging alternatives and the obstacles to a different energy system. It offers historical context for debates about energy security and the transition beyond petroleum.
