Product Description

Oil, Jihad and Destiny is a thought-provoking research report on oil depletion. It provides a comprehensive examination of world oil reserves and production, reviews the cultural challenges of the Middle East, analyzes the economic impact of four alternative oil depletion scenarios, and outlines a proposed course of action to enable a "soft landing". World oil production and consumption are evaluated by geographic region. This evaluation, along with a projection of how oil depletion is expected to influence inflation, unemployment, economic growth and the price of gas, is presented in multiple tables and charts. The Revised Edition of Oil, Jihad and Destiny uses historical data from 1970 through 2006 as a basis for analysis, projects the underlying trends through 2030, and includes an updated version of the analytical model. Four scenarios are discussed: a projection of current Production Crisis trends, how these trends are modified by tripling the consumption of alternative fuels, and a further modification based on the assumption the United States also reduces its oil consumption by 25 percent (as proposed by some global warming advocates). The forth scenario illustrates the economic impact of a Political Crisis. Oil depletion will create the economic conditions for cultural chaos and extensive lifestyle change. We can, however, engineer a "soft landing" if we have the collective will. This report describes multiple recommendations to ease our transition to a world without enough oil.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sobering and Helpful..from a guy on the street., January 24, 2005
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars I wish I was this smart!, June 10, 2008
By keith renick (Peachtree City, Ga. USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.
