Energy Balance is a series of essays on the matter of future energy provision for the world, particularly against the backdrop of Peak Oil , which the author Chris Rhodes has dubbed the Oil Dearth Era when supplies of the cheap light crude oil, on which the modern age of globalisation has been built, begin to run-short. All aspects are considered: pollution, nuclear power, nuclear waste, global warming (and its reality), renewable energy, coal liquefaction, the myth of the putatuive hydrogen economy , biofuel production, and the essential underlying solution of energy saving on a huge scale, by relocalising civilization into smaller essentially self-sustaining communities provided for by local farms and businesses.
