Tóm tắt
The article reviews the book 'The Quest: Energy, Security, and the Remaking of the Modern World,' by Daniel Yergin. The Quest continues and expands the story commencing with the First Gulf War, the fall of the Berlin Wall and Soviet Union up to the present. It encompasses every conceivable effort to develop conventional and unconventional fossil fuel sources as well as renewables, nuclear power, hybrid and electric vehicles, and energy efficiency in the context of the world's growing population, global trade and commerce, and technological innovation. 'The Quest' is a liberal education in and of itself, providing the persevering reader with ample dollops of science, engineering, policy, economics, finance, and biography. Yergin calmly, patiently explains the error in the concept of 'peak oil,' which assumes that the world is near or at the point of maximum output, and that an inexorable decline has already begun, or is soon to set in.
