POWERLESS – the story of our dependence on low cost energy and what its impending limit means. Written for the Owen grandchildren to read later, it’s for parents and grandparents to read NOW.• The world’s population is 6.5 billion. There are 300 thousand more of us every day. There will be over nine billion of us by 2050.• Two billion people make less than $3 per day, economically they don’t exist. By 2050 four billion of us won’t exist.• We are blissfully unaware of the approaching limit that will deprive us of our most critical resource.“Very well done - excellent conclusion. [Our] grandchildren will see a vastly different world than we are seeing.” Walter Youngquist, GeoDestinies Professor of Geology ret.“Truly excellent and nicely written about a difficult subject. Spot on.” Colin J. Campbell, The Coming Oil Crisis, Ph.D. Oxford.“Readable, convincing, and founded on solid documentation.” Massimo Livi Bacci, World Population, Professor of Demography, University of Florence
