Peak Oil and the Fate of Humanity

“Peak Oil and the Fate of Humanity” is a PowerPoint book that deals with the future when oil production will no longer keep up with demand.

The author explains the importance of oil in our industrial society, what substitutes are possible and what difficulties they imply.

He then gives an example of a past society on Easter Island, which benefited from a temporary abundance and expanded its population beyond what the environment could sustain. He draws parallels with today’s technological society.
