Synopsis
In order that you can share the argument, this book explores the issues in detail. The data. The trends. The projections. The possible outcomes. Hopefully, at the end of this process, you will be able to understand what it is we are facing, and perhaps find your own resolution to the potential difficulties we will all face over the next ten to twenty years. The message you take from this book should be a positive one...that Western society is about to undergo a massive, collective shock. But, by applying basic principles of sustainable development we can live through this period...albeit without the ready-meals, cheap flights to Spain, 4x4's, Britney Spears videos, Formula One racing, plastic umbrellas...

Customer Reviews

Clear and informative survey of the peak oil issue
A good summary, with just enough technical details and some very useful diagrams. For me this was a good follow-up to 'Half Gone' which was more popular and populist in style.

Plain and simple - what you need to know
Mobbs has written a concise, easy to read book on Peak Oil which I found covered all topics. Prior to reading the book I found I was bombarded with conflicting opinions depending on the website I was reading.

Energy Beyond Oil does not paint over the issue of Peak Oil, we can't get away from that, what it does do it present all the facts you need to decide how you want to adapt/prepare for life beyond the peak.

Some friends and many colleagues think I am a little strange worrying about oil and how society and the economy will face up to life without oil. When you confront them will cold facts the smile seems to vanish and they begin relate what you are saying with things happening in the real world.

I feel happier facing Peak Oil with the information Mobbs delivers.
