Energy: Conclusion

Suburbs and Exurbs obsolete?

Brown ducks a critical debate: the apocalyptic The End of Oil scenario, but he covers his base here.

The world after peak oil?

Department of Energy, and others, forecast global demand of 120 million barrels of oil per day by 2030, up from current 84 MBD. This contradicts the Peak Oil hypothesis.

Major adjustments anticipated. Winners are those who adapt.

Problems of denial and dissociation with reality must be confronted. Innovation wins. Wishful thinking loses. Developing countries may be hardest hit.

What the world needs now is not more oil but more leadership.

What do you think? Brown's editor cuts him some slack.
