Reading this book makes it clear that if we want to avoid the worst scenario, the "petrocalypse", we must stop deceiving ourselves, understand our real situation and act as soon as possible accordingly.
Petrocalypse is a raw and clear analysis of possible alternatives to our current energy system. Faced with the triumphalism that the news about the future use of new energy sources often exhibits, the book concisely outlines why each of the false solutions that have been discussed over the last two decades do not and will not work. There are no simple solutions or shortcuts to the dilemma posed by the energy transition, which is doubly necessary not only because of the environmental impact of fossil fuels, but also because of an often ignored factor: their upcoming scarcity.
