Product Description

Review
"An easy to read, thought-provoking book. It avoids the 'gloom and doom' attributes of many earlier publications and contains a very useful 14-page bibliography of free web-based sources of information that repays exploration." The Naturalist

Product Description
Whilst you read this sentence the world, on average, has just burnt another seven to eight thousand barrels of oil. In fact, it gets through around eighty-two million barrels per day. 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...

4.0 out of 5 stars Plain and simple - what you need to know, 15 Sep 2005
By Mr. C. V. Ellison "cve25" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Clear and informative survey of the peak oil issue, 3 Feb 2008
By Jezza (London) - See all my reviews
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.
