Media Reviews
iWhile much is known about the growing pressures on petroleum supplies, far less is known about natural gas. Julian Darley convincingly demonstrates in this important book, that the long-range future for gas is equally as bleak as that for oil. This invaluable book arrives at a critical juncture.i Michael Klare, author of Resource Wars: The New Landscape of Global Conflict
