This is weird overall. You could skip chapters 2 and 3 entirely. Not really of much help except for the part about fast breeding nuclear reactors.

While there are certainly interesting bits to this book, mostly, he repeats his primary thesis (we will use fossil fuels until they run out and then use what's cheapest) over and over and over again. Perhaps most aggravating is his almost total dismissal of the implications of climate change while expecting us to take seriously some ideas about energy storage and harvesting that, at the moment seem rather far-fetched. This isn't to say we shouldn't take them seriously, but that he makes plenty of assumptions in this book that may or may not hold true. This would have been much more interesting with more insights into the future production of energy and less of highly problematic economic guessing games he plays.

The guy is a better speaker than writer. Interesting, but after his talk slightly disappointing.
