Review title: The Long Rant
Product review: "The Long Emergency" is long on hyperbole and short on references. You will not find a lot of intellectual heavy lifting here, but lots of apocalyptic ranting and raving by the author. The central tenet of the book is summed up nicely in a Scientific American article from March of 1998 (available on the internet) titled "The End of Cheap Oil" by Colin J. Campbell and Jean H. Laherrere. This article is thirteen pages and will spare the reader a couple hundred extra pages of pessimistic conjecture and antisocial harangues. Colin Campbell and Jean Laherrere are former oil exploration geologists turned consultants who, applying theorems of M. King Hubbert to world oil reserves, conclude that world oil production will peak soon and then slowly decline. I suggest cutting to the chase and skipping "The Long Emergency".
