No oil in the lamp: fuel, faith and the energy crisis

Carbon Conversation courses for Wider Horizons are taking place in November as highlighted on our Edinburgh Network page. People taking part in the course may find this book of interest.

Neil Hollow and Andy Mellen's new book "No oil in the lamp: fuel, faith and the energy crisis" is an overview of the oil crisis and a glimpse into a post-peak oil world from a Christian perspective.

Comment from reader Fiona Veitch, publishing feedback on the www.goodreads.com website:

"Until I read No Oil in the Lamp I had no understanding of the complexities behind the energy crisis and how it will impact every facet of life in the near future. I’ve heard scientists and politicians arguing about it but have never felt informed enough to really grasp what they were talking about. Andy Mellen and Neil Hollow have changed that. They sketch out in simple, unpatronising terms, the various arguments for and against each energy source. The concept of the long-term sustainability of each commodity consumed or energy source generated in terms of the ratio between energy-in and energy-out gave me a completely new perspective on my consumption."
