Winning the Oil Endgame shows how a country can eliminate its need for oil over the next few decades. Advanced energy efficiency and alternative fuels, such as modern biofuels and saved natural gas, already cost less than oil's market price, let alone its true cost to society. Displacing oil is therefore profitable and will be led by business, not public policy, with enormous gains available to .

Traces oil's impact on international affairs since World War II, revealing its influence on the Truman, Eisenhower, Nixon and Carter governments. This work shows how America's own wells are drying up as demand increases and warns that by 2010 the US will need to import 60 per cent of its oil.
