ABSTRACT

Figure 25 We really should have checked the oil before we put our foot on the accelerator!

SUMMARY The world’s economy is driven by a few key energy supplies with oil, coal and gas being the main sources supporting the increasing population on Planet Earth. Each is a major source of greenhouse gases. Increased consumption therefore worsens the Climate Change problem. In addition, oil, a major source of energy for transport and agriculture, has arguably already reached peak production.
