50 Books for Thinking About the Future Human Condition

While there is no sure path to improving the future human condition, there is no shortage of books that address themselves to some aspect of improving that future. Winning the Oil Endgame: Innovation for Profits, Jobs, and Security was recommended to me by Paul Baran, whose credentials as a deep thinker about the future are nonpareil. It's an admittedly biased look at the potential for the United States to wean itself off of oil—Lovins has been involved in several alternatives to oil energy. Nonetheless, this is a thoroughly researched, carefully reasoned and amply documented look at a path that would essentially eliminate U.S. dependence on imported oil. Lovins's arguments rest on three primary means of displacing oil: 1) using oil more efficiently (particularly through making vehicles lighter and safer through advanced materials), 2) substituting for petroleum fuels other liquids made from biomass and waste, and 3) substituting saved natural gas for oil in uses where they're interchangeable, such as furnaces and boilers. He also argues for replacing oil with hydrogen, but does not rest his arguments on that more uncertain technology. He presents each oil-displacing technology in two different portfolios: conventional wisdom, with future expectations broadly accepted by industry and government, and state-of-the-art, with the best technologies sufficiently developed by mid-2004 to project confidently. It's a good argument for genuine feasibility of seriously reducing U.S. oil dependency and thereby presents a wide variety of means for reducing overall world dependence on oil.

A Declaration of Energy Independence (PDF-20k)

In the 30 years since the oil shocks of the 1970s, our original hopes to achieve energy independence have given way to the less ambitious goal of achieving energy security, defined as "secure access to adequate supplies of primary energy at affordable cost." Perhaps the most rigorous and surely the most dramatic analysis of what it will take to wean us from foreign oil was tasked by the Pentagon and carried out by the Rocky Mountain Institute, a respected center of hard-headed, market-based research. The report, Winning the Oil Endgame: Innovation for Profits, Jobs and Security, is now out in book form and has received positive reviews.
