Global Energy

This book exposes the truth that the climate change hoax is a political movement aimed at eliminating capitalism by spreading alarming disinformation that in order to "save the Earth" from global warming, we must reduce carbon dioxide emissions by switching from hydrocarbon fuels to renewable energies. The Truth About Energy, Global Warming, and Climate Change: Exposing Climate Lies in an Age of Disinformation reveals a science-based understanding of Earth's climate and temperature that Green New Deal proponents are trying to hide.

The transition to clean energy is moving far too slowly. Trapped by a century of fossil fuel investments and politicians that struggle to plan beyond the next election, the “Big Grid” that powers our modern world is outdated and in dire need of an upgrade. Freeing Energy offers a new and faster path towards a clean energy future — one that is more reliable, more equitable, and cheaper.

In this monumental history, Vaclav Smil provides a comprehensive account of how energy has shaped society, from pre-agricultural foraging societies through today's fossil fuel-driven civilization and offers listeners a magisterial overview of humanity's energy eras.

Everyone needs to be more involved with the huge task of changing from fossil fuels to renewable and less polluting alternatives as quickly as possible for the health of the planet and future generations. Whether this is actively promoting alternative energy, joining and supporting pressure groups, working within the industry, investing in green technology or just telling people about it, you can make a difference. The responsibility is huge and the timing is crucial. We all know (even those who don’t want to admit it) that our current path of capital and carbon driven development is ...

Twenty-four miles wide. Twenty percent of the world's oil. No real alternative. And right now — closed. The Strait of Hormuz is the most important body of water on earth that most people couldn't find on a map. Every day in normal conditions, approximately twenty million barrels of oil and a fifth of the world's liquefied natural gas transit this single narrow passage between Iran and Oman. When it is disrupted — as it is now, in the most severe closure since the 1970s energy crisis — oil prices surge, food prices rise, airlines ground flights, hospitals ration medical gases, and ...

As OPEC has loosened its grip over the past ten years, the oil market has been rocked by wild price swings, the likes of which haven't been seen for eight decades. Crafting an engrossing journey from the gushing Pennsylvania oil fields of the 1860s to today's fraught and fractious Middle East, Crude Volatility explains how past periods of stability and volatility in oil prices help us understand the new boom-bust era.

Energy crises have shaped the global economy before—and they will do so again. From the oil shocks of the 1970s to the fragile energy markets of today, modern societies remain deeply dependent on reliable access to oil and natural gas. Yet the global energy system is built on vulnerable infrastructure, strategic shipping routes, and geopolitical relationships that can shift overnight. In The Next Global Energy Crisis, financial analyst Carl Vincent Sutton delivers a clear and compelling examination of how energy disruptions can trigger global economic turmoil. This book explains how ...
