While 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, the long-range future for gas is equally bleak as that for oil. This invaluable book arrives at a critical juncture.
—Michael Klare, author of Resource Wars: The New Landscape of Global Conflict
A few years ago no one thought much about natural gas; this year or next, we will all probably realize that its rapid depletion is the straw that is breaking the American economy. Meanwhile, a race will be on to create a vastly expanded global market for liquefied natural gas, mirroring the existing global oil market. These developments, taken together, are probably even more significant than the energy events of the 1970s, in whose wake we are still reeling. Julian Darley has done far more than just research the facts; he understands the big picture and helps readers see how our lives and our world are being imperiled because of our increasing dependence on this powerful but invisible substance.
—Richard Heinberg, author of The Partys Over: Oil, War, and the Fate of Industrial Societies
Julian Darley has written an important book during an important time and uncovered new and critical information about the social, economic, environmental and human rights implications of natural gas which the companies won't tell, cover up, and try to avoid by going offshore. Darley gives this issue the attention it deserves.
