PLANET OIL: CLIMATE WARS
No fuel, no future?

This is the rollercoaster story of global energy security, and we are at its critical juncture. Around the world, oil and gas fields are either running dry or have become politically or environmentally toxic. For all the talk of renewables and nuclear, no one is in any doubt that the human race will continue to rely on fossil fuels for the foreseeable future. But how long can Earth's resources sustain life as we know it?

Travelling to many oil and gas producing territories around the world, Planet Oil traces how humans have developed fuels and how geology, technology, politics and commercial pressures have affected and driven the world's insatiable consumption. Timely and groundbreaking, it also asks what will be the cost of our continued addiction to these fuels, and can the human race ever end its dependence on oil?
