Synopsis: Going far beyond the usual advice to stock up on freeze-dried food and live in a bunker, financial journalist Leeb is convinced our dependence on oil and the dwindling supply is a classic case of impending disaster, in which most will suffer but those who follow his investment advice will become very, very rich. He covers how we tend to think about energy as an everlasting resource, the ways in which government and other institutions are aggravating the problem and what they could do to solve it, the conditions of everyday life in a world of constant energy crisis, the development of China and India as mega-markets that hasten the energy doomsday, and proactive ways to make the most of what he believes will be a desperate situation.
