DALLAS, Aug. 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- "The US will
never run out of oil and natural gas. NEVER. Same goes for the rest
of the world. Won't happen."
That's the startling forecast by Dallas-based oil and gas executive
Chris Faulkner in his new book,
THE FRACKING TRUTH, available now from publisher
Platform Press. (ISBN: 978-0-9850703-7-3 $21.95 Cloth/Dust Jacket 6" x 9" (192 pages)
Illustrations)
Faulkner, who consults with governments and industry from the US
to China to Europe, has been a critic of the oil industry
for slipshod practices in the early days of fracking in
Pennsylvania; for hiding the
ingredients in fracking fluids; for failing to engage the public;
and allowing the environmental movement to demonize a technology
that is turning the US into an energy superpower after years under
OPEC's thumb. Nevertheless, he says the energy revolution is well
underway and fracking is now the predominant practice in the
industry.
Furthermore, "The revolution that's taking place in our own
backyards—fracking—is spreading around the globe," says Faulkner.
"The energy boom has been the catalyst for enormous changes that
are reinvigorating the US economy, providing us with greater
security, giving us greater control over our environment, and even
helping rebuild America's stature in the eyes of the world. It's
also fundamentally changing the global balance of power away from
the Persian Gulf states and Russia."
In addition to fracking having unlocked enormous new sources of
energy, huge strides in conservation and technology are making
developed countries more energy efficient at such a rapid pace that
the world's dependence on traditional—and "dirtier"--hydrocarbon
sources will decline sharply in the years ahead.
"This phenomenon of energy abundance and energy efficiency makes
it almost a certainty that the cost of powering our nation—already
a bargain by international standards—is going to become even less
of a burden for our economy for decades to come."
As for his prediction of an endless supply of energy, Faulkner
quotes a Saudi oil minister who, nearly forty-five years ago,
presciently quipped, "The Stone Age didn't end for lack of stones,
and the Oil Age will end long before the world runs out of
oil."
