The Party's Over

Without oil, what would you do? How would you travel? How would you eat? The world is about to change dramatically and forever as the global production of oil reaches its peak. Thereafter, even with a switch to alternative energy sources, industrial societies will have less energy available to do all the things essential to their survival. Author Richard Heinberg deals head-on with this imminent decline of cheap oil in The Party's Over, a riveting wake-up call that does for oil depletion what Rachel Carson's Silent Spring did for the issue of chemical pollution — raise to consciousness a previously ignored global problem of immense proportions. 288 pages, softcover.
