The journal World Oil is the first to have written a review of my book “Peeking at Peak Oil” that will be released in three weeks at the end of May. Springer sent out a number of copies of the book to various newspapers and journals and World Oil chose to write about my book in its May issue. It is wonderful to read what they think and I am especially pleased with the way they have put it:
Dr. Aleklett, a physicist, is a leading expert, and this book should be required reading for anyone seriously interested in the future world energy market and economy, especially politicians and policymakers.

ASPO-USA asks for input for policymakers… Tahoe Valley Lines maintains previously stated positions regarding need for US railway capacity expansion and route miles extension to previously served local points. Several brand new rail corridors are apparent, particularly on the west coast, to relieve bottlenecks. Three notable new line projects are between Sacramento and Carson City, NV, along the US50 Corridor; new line between Marysville, CA and Healdsburg, CA, to facilitate California north coast rail service; and, Nevada line connecting Reno/Carson and Las Vegas, NV.
Two notable bottlenecks on the left coast are: Bakersfield to Palmdale; and redesigned alignment between Roseville CA., and Reno, NV, as per the 1945 Kaiser Engineers plan. Railway enhancement is the single most crucial item in an American Peak Oil solution set, a requisite “Guarantor Of Societal & Commercial Cohesion”. Even America’s trading adversaries can admit to self-interest concerning North American ability to export substantial volumes of grain when called upon to do so.
