 Poor Investment Advice August 29, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
This book does a very weak job of offering investment advice. It does a very good job of explaining where we stand in terms of energy resources and options, but then offers advice that is rarely supported by evidence or numbers. In most cases, it seems like they are offering advice on gut feeling.
I kid you not, the last paragraph of the book reads "Now put this book down, go out there, install some solar panels on your house, and learn to grow a decent tomato. You won't regret it." Is that investment advice? Is that how I'm going to profit from the peak?
 A MUST READ IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND THE OIL SITUATION August 25, 2008
I consider this book as a must read re the oil crisis. I learned a lot of things about oil that I never knew i.e. a barrel of oil can only produce about 16 gallons of gasoline,
very updated August 1, 2008
It is en excellent book because one can have a good explanation about a very complex issue, therefore, one can understand better what happens whith the oil prices.
A View of the future July 30, 2008
A must read for anyone that wants to anticipate and profit from the certain decline of oil supplies. A logical, well written view of a very probable future of our world.
Well researched yet very readable July 25, 2008

Most of time while reading this book I was thinking, "Why didn't I know that?" I would recommend this well written and easy-to-understand book to everyone who wants to gain a broad understanding about what is going on with energy and oil. The target market appears to be the intelligent layman with helpful hints on how your investing strategy might benefit. Suddenly, when watching the talking heads you will spot the horrible, over-simplified, childish thinking that we are bombarded with every day, especially from the silver bullet types. It is well researched and referenced, and I highly recommend it.
