Michael Klare wrote a book that I want to read. It’s called Rising Powers, Shrinking Planet, and it’s about our upcoming struggle for energy with other major oil consuming countries.
In an interview with Energy Bulletin, Klare paints what some might consider to be a doomsday picture of the future of our world. Although many are afraid to admit to themselves that this is the most likely option for our future, Klare backs up his arguments with solid logic.
Klare speaks not only of our dwindling resources, but also of the changing face of global politics and the idea that being a military superpower will not be as important as being an energy superpower in upcoming years.
Rising Powers, Shrinking Planet looks at the global situation that we have found ourselves in and stresses that the only way to achieve solutions is to work together cooperatively, not fight each other for the scarce remaining resources.
