‘A Presidential Energy Policy.
Twenty-five Points Addressing the Siamese Twins of Energy and Money.’
by Michael C. Ruppert
http://rubiconworks.com/
“Michael Ruppert does not mince his words writing a stirring and uncompromising book on a vital issue. He addresses some simple but widely ignored concepts relating to the critical role of oil and gas in the modern world. First, they are finite resources, formed in the geological past, being therefore subject to depletion. Second, they have to be found before they can be produced, such that the peak of discovery, which is long past, must deliver a corresponding peak of production.
He then goes on to address the wider implications recognising that there is a finite Oil Age. The First Half started only 150 years ago and saw the rapid expansion of just about everything, fuelled by this cheap source energy, flowing from the ground, but now we face the dawn of the Second Half, when production and all that depends upon it declines. The economic and political consequences of this Turning Point for Mankind are clearly colossal, demanding far reaching political responses, as the book discusses. Many claims have been made that new technology will counter the natural decline, but there is an irony: the better the technology, the faster the depletion.
Having explained the underlying facts, the book turns to related subjects, including foreign policy and the invasion of Iraq, the hopes for renewable energy substitutes, the impact on farming and population, and the nature of Money. The impact on the economy is a central theme of the book. It gives emphasis to the US situation but also covers the wider World, ending with twenty-five sensible recommendations by which the US Government could react to the unfolding situation.
It is a perceptive, stimulating and very readable book covering a subject of critical importance. It deserves a place on the bookshelves of everyone from the school teacher to the chief executive; from the bishop to the politician and world leader.”
Colin Campbell, Ph.D.
“America's most courageous and fearless investigative reporter exposes the root causes of the financial meltdown. Our new President should read A Presidential Energy Policy for his next intelligence briefing.”
