Book Synopsis
Gasoline prices are high and rapidly climbing. Oil and natural gas reserves are dwindling, while demand is poised to skyrocket, as developing nations around the world lead their citizens into the modern energy economy. This book cuts through the hype, alarmism, and confusion to give us an account of where we are, and a map of where we're going.

Trade Review
"Scott L. Montgomery has written a much-needed book about global energy for a general nonfiction audience. He approaches the issue with humanistic nuance and offers a refreshing voice of clarity and composure on this topic." -Saleem H. Ali, author of Treasures of the Earth: Need, Greed, and a Sustainable Future"
