What's that peak oil thing you keep jabbering on about? "Peak oil" is the phrase used to describe the point where the world's oil supply, well, peaks. A fairly easy concept there. It's the best we can do, and the best we will ever do, when it comes to pumping conventional crude oil out of the ground. After peak oil, it's all downhill, production-wise. Too many people think that peak oil means that the oil is going to run out, and that's not qu...

It's nice to have a friend. It began as a case of mistaken identity. How many possums on a bicycle could there be? It seems that there are two! Oliver and his friends ride out to find their new potential friend and have adventures involving snakes (yikes!), silly squirrels (yay!), and pie (yum!). Oliver finds out that he and his new possum friend have similar bikes and similar feelings about adventure. They certainly are happy to meet each oth...

With a deceptively light-hearted tone, Haynes reveals the deep connection of oil to everything we buy and use, how looming scarcity will change our lives, what we can do to prepare. The devastating oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico propelled national attention to this topic. Now with gas prices rising daily, upheavals in the Middle East, where oil fields supply much of US demand, many people who previously had little interest or knowledge about ...
