Begins with an overview of the C20's long-term trends and achievements in energy production. The author then discusses energy prices, the real cost of energy, and 'energy linkages'-the effect energy issues have on the economy, on quality of life, on the environment, and in wartime. He discusses the pitfalls of forecasting, giving many examples of failed predictions and showing that unexpected events can disprove complex models. He also examines the pros and cons of fossil and alternative fuels.
