This work is not flawless, despite my praise and five-star rating. Roberts repeatedly implies that getting synthetic crude from the Alberta oil sands is a prospect for the future; in reality, current production is over 500,000 barrels/day and rising. He also seems surprised that water injection is now being used to aid production from Saudi Arabia's giant Ghawar oilfield, and takes that as a sign that Ghawar is aging badly. However, according to the Saudi national oil company, water injection had been used at Ghawar since 1965.
Notwithstanding these nitpicks, this is the best and most balanced book on the the topic. It should be read by anyone interested in the future of energy, our economy, and the world.
