Kurt Vonnegut (A Man Without A Country) |
‘The lorry that collects your rubbish won’t be running…Streetlights won’t burn. Hospitals will have to close. Factories will shut their gates. Offices will close. Banks will shut. There won’t be any more television programmes. You won’t be able to recharge your mobile telephone. Within a generation, five out of six people on the planet will be dead. I’ll repeat that. Within a generation, five out of six people on the planet will be dead. This isn’t the script for a horror movie. It isn’t fiction. It’s going to happen. And it’s already started’. (Vernon Coleman) |
The International Energy Agency has already published the draft version of a report telling countries to prepare contingency plans to use when the oil shortfalls start. (Find out in Oil Apocalypse exactly which policies are recommended in the report). |

(Vernon Coleman – from the preface to Oil Apocalypse) What readers say about Oil Apocalypse: `I am writing to offer my sincere congratulations on such a well researched book. It made fascinating reading and personally I accept your frightening prognosis...I write as one who...spent several years working in the...oil and gas industry.' R.W. Sussex `Congratulations on this book. Full of indisputable facts and common sense.' P.R., London `...once again you are ahead of the pack!' D.K., Exeter `...we are all glad to have got in so quickly, and be able to start preparing for the desperate years ahead.' M.W. `Probably the most disturbing and enlightening book I have ever had the pleasure to read. No book has ever had such a profound effect on me.' M.C. Sheffield `Thank you for your work. Long may you continue to present the truth to the people.' D.F.W. `Intense reading. He pulls no punches in exposing the real villain of our time for creating the unstable world we live in today...Coleman's inimical message is blunt and this book will frighten you, but bury your head in the sand at your own peril. If you don't believe him then keep an eye on the price at the pump.' Five Star Book Geoffrey Taylor, Shropshire Star |
