Book Review The Bottomless Well Why We Will Never Run Out of Energy

For anyone who has any interest in energy, its costs, the future and the political debate over this precious resource-the bottomless Well is a must read. This book is a fascinating insight to the other side of what most of us have been led to believe on the environmentalist monopoly on the subject. The bottomless well make the most of the things we think we know are mostly myths, because we really do not understand what the essence of energy is in the first place. The book shows how a better understanding of energy will radically change our attitudes and policies in a number of very controversial issues. The bottomless Well also explains why the demand for energy will only continue to rise, so most of what we think is "energy waste" actually proves to be beneficial for all, why more efficient cars, engines and light bulbs will never lower demand, and why the earth's energy is actually infinite.

The bottomless Oh continue to point out that the cost of energy is increasingly less and less to do with the actual cost of fuel. With about five percent of world population, Americans spend more than 25 percent of world natural gas, 43 percent of its motor gasoline, 25 percent of its petroleum, 23 percent of its coal and 26 percent of total electricity production. But the book points out that most of our energy are not used, lighting or cooling. What we use energy, in particular, is to extract, refine, process, and clean energy is increasingly modes of performance. The more efficient our technology, the more energy we actually consume; not save, because the cost to reward ratio is so good for the consumers of this subtle energy. The book also points out that the competitive advantage in production will soon be moving decisively back toward the U.S.: the human demand for energy will only continue to grow and is indeed insatiable, raw fuel sources are not running out, and the USA's relentless pursuit high-grade energy does not add chaos to the global environment, but rather restoring it to order. Indeed, expanding energy supplies mean higher productivity, more jobs and a growing GDP. Across the board, energy is not the problem, energy is the solution.

While the conventional wisdom asserts that the energy problem, and surely some will disagree in an EIA on (at lest fossil fuel) energy, the bottomless Well argue that from an environmental perspective it also makes sense to use energy in an increasingly effective state. For example, the United States, unlike most of the poor developing countries is a net carbon sink. After all the pollution produced in the U.S., there is more CO2 PPM upwind America on the Pacific side, then beneath it over the Atlantic. This fact is undisputed, but although the book does not offer anecdotal reasons for this may be true, there is no definitive evidence to explain this unexpected phenomenon.

We would strongly recommend the bottomless well for anyone, regardless of where they stand on issues concerning energy, environment and politics. The book breaks shape of many of our conventional views of energy, how we use it and why. At least the bottomless Well opens the door to a different mindset, not to mention a healthy debate about energy and our future.
