Richard Heinberg

Richard Heinberg is best known as a leading educator on Peak Oil-the point at which we reach maximum global oil production-and the devastating impact it will have on our economic, food, and transport systems. His new book argues that limits to national and household debt plus tightening natural resource constraints mean that the era of economic growth is at an end. Richard has presented throughout the world and has been featured on radio and television and in documentaries.
