| Shrnutí: | The book's value lies in its extensive reporting effort, its sustained focus (despite the tendency of many to dismiss energy economics as dull), and occasionally inspired description of mechanisms that perhaps need a greater place in the debate. (I had never considered the implications of a maxed-out global production system on price volatility, but obviously it could become an important expense determinant). In spite of my reservations, this book could be quite important if it provokes enough voters with the idea that "bad stuff" was happening to their energy resources. It would be wonderful if voters wanted to hear about it from their candidates, wanted articles in their newspapers, wanted to spend more - now - on developing alternatives. In this respect I think that the book is not sufficiently focused. As a debate generator it might have been better had it been shorter. |
