The Oil Depletion Protocol : A Plan to Avert Oil Wars, Terrorism and Economic Collapse

> In addition to informing readers about the forthcoming Oil Depletion Protocol – the proposal that nations would agree to reduce their oil production and oil imports according to a consistent, sensible formula -- this book is also an excellent introduction to the challenge of Peak Oil, containing data that is more up-to-date than those found in other Peak Oil books. > The book is timely and targeted first and foremost to policy makers and government leaders at all levels of society; second, to Peak Oil activists; third, to the community of citizens who are aware of, and concerned about, Peak Oil; and fourth, media, policy analysts, and industry representatives who want to understand this response to the Peak Oil crisis. > Richard Heinberg is the author of the best-selling books, The Party’s Over and Powerdown, and has given scores of national radio and lecture appearances throughout the US and the world. He will be similarly active in promoting this book. > The author is establishing a non-profit organization — a division of Post Carbon Institute — to promote the Protocol; that organization will purchase 1 – 3,000 copies of the book to distribute to policy makers. Funding of considerable size will assist with promoting the Protocol itself, including lobbying and publicity.
