Publisher's Synopsis
The MacCasland family struggles to survive when the dollar crashes and the United States is starved for oil. Gas prices soar, store shelves empty, and jobs are almost non-existent. When brutal gangs start looting, it becomes clear that anyone still living in the suburbs needs a Plan B. Unfortunately, our inability to prepare for the next energy regime will insure that the transition away from oil will be disruptive. The Chinese built an entire interstate highway system within the past ten years and the Indians are moving beyond scooters and into small autos. The pressures on the world's demand for oil are staggering. If there's not enough oil to go around, who gets the short stick when it comes to a fall in oil production? Might the United States with its massive government deficits and persistent trade deficits be the weak link?
