High Noon for Natural Gas: The New Energy Crisis

Many public policy makers have banked the future of clean, low carbon emission (as compared to coal) electrical power generation on the use of natural gas. What Julian Darley points out is that natural gas production in the United States peaked in the 1970’s, just a few years behind the peak in U.S. oil production, and globally will peak a only a decade or so behind the peak in the world’s oil production. High Noon for Natural Gas is about far more than just the impending peak in global natural gas production, it is also about the peak in fossil fuels in general and the geopolitics of the energy business. This is an excellent complement to the Heinberg and Kunstler books, and will fill in some of the gaps in those publications. Highly recommended!
