He has produced major documenatries, including Inside the Enron Scandal and No Accounting for Greed (about the collapse of Arthur Andersen). This is his first book. This may be the most important book you or anyone else will read in the next fifty years. Draining the lifeblood of industrial civilization, the terminal decline of oil and gas production will spark a crisis far more dangerous than international terrorism, and more urgent than climate change. THE LAST OIL SHOCK is the secret behind the crises in Iraq and Iran, the reason your gas bill is going through the roof, the cause of an imminent and unprecedented economic collapse, and the reason you may soon be kissing your car keys and boarding pass goodbye. David Strahan explains how we reached this critical state, how the silence of governments, oil companies and environmentalists conspires to keep the public in the dark, what it means for energy policy, and what you can do to protect yourself and your family from the ravages of the last oil shock. More serious than global terrorism. More urgent than global warming - the world is running out of oil Zusammenfassung More serious than global terrorism.
