The Race to Replace Oil

Robert Rapier

Chapter Chapter 11 in Power Plays, 2012, pp 161-179 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The above quote from the former Saudi oil minister is rather well known, and it is popular among those who believe that technology will inevitably solve the problem of oil depletion. In fact, the Stone Age ended because the Bronze Age began. Thus, the implication is that the Oil Age will end because of the rise of the Fusion Age or the Solar Age or the Biofuels Age.
