Profit from the Peak: The End of Oil and the Greatest Investment Event of the Century

Praise for Profit from the Peak "This book is a clearly written, succinct, and well-referenced summary of information about, and related to, what I believe will be the most important issue to strike Western civilization ever: the end of cheap oil. It is clear to me that how we make investments over the next few decades will determine whether we can survive the end of cheap oil and in what fashion. While I am not nearly as optimistic as the authors that there is a supply-side solution to the issues we will face 'post-peak oil,' they certainly have lots of good ideas as to where we might invest in alternatives. This book is a must-have on the shelf of any savvy investor as we face the second half of the age of oil." -Charles Hall, ESF Foundation Distinguished Professor, College of Environmental Science and Forestry, State University of New York "Profit from the Peak will help you develop and maintain financial security as the price of oil soars and our globalized economy gets into trouble. Hicks and Nelder show how you and your community can tackle the long transition of relocalization. Learn about the power of locally generated energy-and benefit from their practical guide to investing in the most efficientand attractive of today's post-petroleum alternatives." -Julian Darley, founder of the Post Carbon Institute and author of High Noon for Natural Gas "Brian and Chris deliver the painful yet potentially profitable truth about peak oil. Not theory anymore, but reality. This book is a must if you want a clear path to profits in the age of peak oil." -Kevin Kerr, Editor of Dow Jones Global Resources Trader and President of Kerr Trading International "Profit from the Peak shows not only why investment in alternative energy sources is about to skyrocket, but more importantly, where investment is going to pay off the most, by concisely describing the huge variety of upcoming energy sources and their relevant companies." -Rembrandt Koppelaar, oil analyst, President of ASPO NetherlandsHicks, Brian is the author of 'Profit from the Peak: The End of Oil and the Greatest Investment Event of the Century', published 2008 under ISBN 9780470127360 and ISBN 0470127368.
