Mills (petroleum economics manager, Emirates National Oil Company, United Arab Emirates) argues that pervasive fears concerning "peak oil" are unfounded and can lead to dangerous policy choices. The supply of oil and gas is much larger than imagined, he contends, while also warning against attempts to achieve political, military, or commercial control of oil supplies as being unnecessary, self- defeating, and inordinately expensive. He also argues that there are alternative energy sources that can help reduce global oil consumption and increase living standards worldwide and that anthropogenic climate change from the use of fossil fuels is a serious global threat but can be overcome with a portfolio of solutions._ Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
