USA: W.W. Norton & Company, 2004. Hardcover. Used-very good condition/Yes. 5.5x8.5. Out of Gas: The End of the Age of Oil by David Goodstein (2004, Hardcover), tells a story of America’s gas and oil industry. Our rate of oil discovery has reached its peak and will never be exceeded; rather, it is certain to decline - perhaps rapidly - forever forward. Meanwhile, in the 20th century we have developed lifestyles firmly rooted in the promise of an endless, cheap supply. David Goodstein explains the underlying scientific principles of the inevitable fossil fuel shortage we face and our most urgent environmental policy decisions. He outlines the drastic effects a fossil fuel shortage will bring down on us and shows us that there is an important silver lining to the need to switch to other sources of energy, for when we have burned up all the available oil, the earth's climate will have moved toward a truly life-threatening state.

Coal deposits occur in three main regions in Virginia: the Southwest Virginia Coalfield, Valley Coalfields, and the Eastern Coalfields.  In the Eastern Coalfields, high-volatile bituminous coal and natural coke occur in Triassic-age (about 200 to 250 million years old) sedimentary strata within several of the small Mesozoic basins located in central Virginia.  The Valley Coalfields include eleven distinct areas in the Valley and Ridge geologic province containing coals that range from medium-volatile bituminous to semi-anthracite in rank.  These coal deposits are hosted by sedimentary rocks of Early Mississippian age (about 323 to… Read More
