- Synopsis
- Heinberg (New College of California's Campus for Sustainable Living) previously set forth the argument that the world's oil production is peaking and will henceforth go into decline in The Party's Over: Oil, War and the Fate of Industrial Societies. Here he collects 11 essays exploring some of the social, economic, ecological, and political implications of the end of the era of cheap energy. These implications arise out of the recognition that the arrival of peak oil portends also the peak of per-capita consumption levels, economic growth, cheap and easy mobility, technological change and invention, and political stability, but perhaps also the peak of economic inequality, environmental destruction, and greenhouse gas emissions.
