    About this ebook

    Oil, Jihad and Destiny
    Will declining oil production plunge our planet into a Depression?
    We want to ignore oil depletion. And we will. Until it eats us.
    Contrary to pop-culture opinion, fossil fuel depletion IS a problem. We need to refocus our collective resources on solving the energy challenges of the 21st century.
    Oil, Jihad and Destiny addresses the most critical energy challenge: oil depletion.
    The economic and cultural destiny of mankind is inexorably tied to the availability of oil. It is impossible to address the problems of famine without petroleum for fertilizer, cultivation, and processing. Oil provides the feedstock for thousands of products, including cosmetics, medicines, plastics, heating and cooking fuels, and mobile fuels for transportation.
    But the days of surplus oil will come to an end.
    This research report provides a comprehensive examination of oil reserves and production, reviews the cultural challenges of the Middle East, analyzes the economic impact of two alternative oil depletion scenarios, and outlines a proposed course of action to enable a "soft landing". World oil production and consumption are evaluated by geographic region. This evaluation is presented along with a projection of how oil depletion could influence inflation, unemployment, and economic growth.
    The results? There is not enough oil to sustain the world's economy. The cost of finding, producing, refining and distributing oil will exceed the price that we humans are able to pay for oil based products long before we run out of oil. The economic impact of this constrained consumption will be devastating. Shortages, whether periodic or sustained, will drive world GDP into a long term decline. Unemployment will increase. Recession is inevitable. Cultural disintegration and political chaos are probable.
    But we can do something. This report examines our energy options and makes specific proposals to facilitate our transition to an alternative energy environment.
    If we can't escape the destructive impact of oil depletion, can we at least mitigate its effects?

    Author

    Ronald Cooke

    Author, philosopher, theologian, lover of mountain hikes, the spiritual, and classical music. Maintained a sense of humor, personal ethics, insatiable curiosity, and a sense of the divine. Continued the erudite prognostication of incredibly complex subjects in overly long reports and books. Was then gently encouraged to research the spiritual, an effort that has thus far produced a novel and a book on contemporary Christian theology. Primary accomplishment: married for more than 50 years (to the same wonderful woman). Objective: When I go out, I want to go out exhausted. In the meantime, every day of good health is a delightful day (rain or shine).
