Peak Oil
Inventor of public key cryptography comments on peak oil, recommends Lovins
Martin Hellman, private communication

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')his site discusses Amory Lovins et al's book "Winning the Oil End Game" which posits a radical, but well-researched plan for getting us off our oil addiction. And the projected cost? Negative! In other words, the book predicts that we can conserve oil and substitute alternative, sustainable fuels at a lower cost than burning the oil. In short, if they are right (and so far my checking on their credibility has given them an A+), this plan makes not only good environmental, but also good business sense. With two highly supportive forewords by George Schultz and the former chairman of Royal Dutch Shell, this approach clearly has appeal beyond the normal environmental community.
If you click on "Read the book" it will take you to a link that allows you to download the entire book (1.9 MB so be patient or get broadband) in PDF format for free.
Winning the Oil End Game by Amory Lovins can be downloaded from www.oilendgame.org.

Sorry, this book has already been discussed in this thread:

Does anyone want ot pick it up again?

[Leanan]

Sorry, but I think they've already lost the oil endgame.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')his assumes that delivered gas prices remain below $8/MBTU — a very safe assumption in our view, whether based on North American gas or on LNG

[Hegel]

Hehe, Leanan.

So in addition to the retired geologists, the geeks get it, and so do the engineers, scientists and mathematicians. And so do some Presidents, Prime Ministers and a certain Chairman of the Federal Reserve.

Okay, that's cool.

... now what?
