The Bottomless Well
By Peter W. Huber & Mark P. Mills.
The book proposes that:
-
The cost of energy as we use it has less and less to do with the cost of fuel.
-
Waste is virtuous.
-
The more efficient our technology, the more energy we consume.
-
The competitive advantage in manufacturing is now swinging decisively back toward the United States.
-
Human demand for energy is insatiable.
-
The raw fuels are not running out.
-
America's relentless pursuit of high-grade energy does not add chaos to the global environment, it restores order.
