In 2006, world oil consumption will exceed one
thousand barrels per second. The news marks an
important change that will have a far-reaching
impact on world economies, investments, and business
profitability.
In A Thousand Barrels a Second, Chief Energy
Economist of ARC Financial Peter Tertzakian
examines the future of oil and
offers insights into what it will take
to rebalance our energy needs and seize new
opportunities. He answers the top
questions asked by business leaders, policy makers,
investors, and concerned citizens
as we approach the coming break point:

Are today's high oil and gas prices
part of a routine business cycle, or are
there more profound forces at play?
Are hybrid vehicles our only solution
against high gasoline prices?
Is China's growing thirst for energy
sustainable?
Which government policies work and
which do not?
Will nuclear power and coal save the
day-again?
Tertzakian also offers a realistic, informed look
into the future of our energy supply chains
and how our consumption patterns may evolve,
revealing how governments, businesses, and even
individuals can meet the coming challenges with
better solutions and innovations.
