Summary of A Thousand Barrels a Second: The Coming Oil Break Point and the Challenges Facing an Energy Dependent World

A Powerful Analysis of Our Oil Addiction and a New Direction for Global Energy

In 2006, world oil consumption exceeded one thousand barrels per second-a level with enormous impact on the environment, world economies, investments, and business profitability. A Thousand Barrels a Second examines the future of oil and the nature of our energy supply, revealing how governments, businesses, and individuals can meet the coming challenges with better solutions and innovations.

?A Thousand Barrels a Second is a book that arrives just in time.?-U.S. Representative Charles F. Bass, (R-NH), member House Energy and Commerce Committee

?Peter Tertzakian's analysis of world oil is a fascinating reminder that history often foretells the major turning points of the future.?-Gwyn Morgan, President & Chief Executive Officer, EnCana Corporation

?An excellent book! In my more than 40 years in the industry I can't think of a publication which has so clearly discussed the global challenges of today's demands and tomorrow's requirements.?-Peter Gaffney, Senior Partner, Gaffney, Cline & Associates
