Winning the Oil Endgame
Winning the Oil Endgame is a 2005 book by Amory B. Lovins, published by the Rocky Mountain Institute. It talks about four ways to reduce oil (petroleum) dependence in the United States:
- Using oil more efficiently (pp. 29–102).
- Substituting other liquids for oil (pp. 103–111).
- Substituting saved natural gas for oil (pp. 111–122).
- Replacing oil with hydrogen (pp. 228–242).
Problems and solutions
The authors suggest that oil dependence is a problem we need no longer have. U.S. oil dependence can be profitably eliminated by proven and attractive technologies. The authors argue that America can lead the world into the post-petroleum era and create a vibrant economy. (p.xiii)
