The Oil Age is Over

Matt Savinar

From LATOC:

With his website,  www.lifeaftertheoilcrash.net, Matt Savinar helped make Peak Oil the breakout issue of 2004 while becoming one of the most sought after and extensively quoted commentators on what may be the most important issue facing humanity today.

Now, with The Oil Age is Over: What to Expect as the World Runs Out of Cheap Oil, 2005-2050, Savinar provides you with an brutally-honest and unabashed analysis of what to expect as the world enters an era of permanent oil scarcity.  Engaging, thorough, and easy-to-read, The Oil Age is Over is sure to become a must-read for everybody from Wall Street executives to Berkeley environmentalists, blue-state liberals to red-state conservatives, and anybody else concerned about what to expect and how to prepare for end of the oil age.

Peak Oil Resources Review:

Matt Savinar's website (see above) LATOC was my introduction to Peak Oil.  Suffice it to say that it rattled me a bit (the better part of a few weeks).  That is what precipitated this website and my reading everything that I could get my hands on that addresses Peak Oil in any way, shape, or form.  In some regards, his book is something of an extension of what his website covers in rather good detail.  Naturally, it does goes beyond what is offered there.  One helpful element to this text is that it is written in an outline-type form, making referencing easy.  Overall it is a decent book to read, and if you are like myself, it will be on your reading list simply because you are compelled to read everything available that deals with Peak Oil.
