Book Review: Robert Hefner's 'The Grand Energy Transition'

Natural gas is the cleanest of fossil fuels. But it is not carbon neutral, therefore it has no good long term prospects.
Author should get (sic) the fact that Western-Europe is completely running out of natural gas. Japan has little to none. Russia and north-africa are not reliable partners for investment. The U.S. 'going natural gas' would create a cultural/economic dichotomy visavie the rest of the world.

The chances of another post-peak-oil business-cycle with natural gas as an energy source is zero.

Book Review: Robert Hefner's 'The Grand Energy Transition'

Nice pump for an oil company, but why in the alternative energy section?

Will Electric Power Cause the Next Price Shock?

The august 2003 blackout in the U.S. and parts of Canada cost at least $10 billion in lost economic activity. And that is just one single event. Watch again this summer as a lot of businesses and org's will reduce operations, or shut down.
An underestimated additional benefit of solar panels is that they reduce transmission congestion, offset PEAK-loads, reduce the need for storage and/or additional powerplants operating at low capacity utilization, preventing blackouts and brownouts in hot summer months.
