The energy industry is huge. Energy policy is multifaceted, complex and boring (to the guy on the street). There are many voices and points of view. This book is like a "Reader's Digest" on what the layman needs to know, the Truth on what the layman needs to know, about the future of the world's oil supply. I like the candidness and narrative style. He seems to be skeptical that anyone will read and respond to the information he presents, and to include that as part of the "problem" is great. I will try to respond. Everyone needs to read this...and respond.

I use to have a very low opinion of economist until I read this book by Mr. Cooke! I have read this book 3 times and I am always picking it up every once in the while to check some idea or facts. I have always wondered if Peak Oil will cause massive inflation or deflation or both. I am deeply impressed at the amounts of data and the computer models that Mr. Cooke used to come to his conclusions. I wish I was this smart! I would be writing books rather than reading them. If I had only 3 peak oil books to recommend, this book would be in the top three! Regards, Keith, Peachtree City, Ga.
