I saw this book review of Profit From The Peak: The End of Oil and the Greatest Investment Event of the Century by Brian Hicks and Chris Nelder.

The opening to the review is pretty bold- just wait, our energy situation is only going to get worse, according to the authors. (Who is surprised though?) It goes on to discuss their anticipated spike in energy costs due in part to the fact that peak oil is not all we should be worried about; "...all non-renewable energy sources -- coal, oil, natural gas and even high grade nuclear materials -- will be past their peak (when half of what has been identified as a usable energy source is gone) by 2021."

What follows is apparently an examination of investment potential based on change within the energy industry. The bit about Buffet, Gates, and Soros investing in railroads got my attention big time.

If you're even slightly interested in the book, please read the review in the link; I can't babble any further until I read it myself! I'm going to order this one asap because I can't wait to glean the authors' insight on the energy situation in upcoming decades. Yes, there are many authors out there with contrasting viewpoints, but it does seem like these two have at least based their analysis on reputable studies.

However, I could be wrong, and I can't wait to find out.
