Book recommendations on peak oil?

Post by AnalyticalEngine »

Hi everyone, I'm looking for books about peak oil specifically if anyone has any good recommendations. Alternatively, is there a point in still researching peak oil or is climate change going to be more important? Thanks everyone.

They're both relevant. However, the shale revolution means that there's now enough fossil reserves available for the high-emissions climate change pathways. Thus oil is not limited by nature but which emissions-path "we" choose to commit to, that is, peak oil will be set by politics or economics to prevent the worst distribution of climate change vis-a-vis poverty rather than by geological shortages.
