Book Reviews of The Battle for Barrels: Peak Oil Myths & World Oil Futures
Book Review: A rational, reasoned approach to the 'peak oil' issue
Summary: 5 Stars
This book makes a good case against fears of an imminent decline in global oil output ('peak oil'). Clarke presents a view based on long and deep experience of the petroleum industry, and his book therefore serves as a counterbalance to many ill-informed proponents of 'peak oil'. He points out the complex interplay of geology, economics, technology and politics in the modern oil world, and the many corporate and state players, which make it impossible to reduce the world oil future to a few simple parameters. There are few, if any, books making this case, which gives this text particular importance.
