Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are two typical views of energy security and oil crisis, with distinct analytical approaches and policy recommendations, either politics or economics. The geopolitical approach links imports to vulnerability or at least influence, and maintains that reduced oil imports improve security. One of its major weaknesses is the focus on petroleum trade balances among regions and countries as the critical variable, ignoring the fact that oil is a fungible commodity. If necessary, almost any amount of crude oil an be replaced fairly quickly in the event of a single-nation embargo. Economics often directly contradict the geopolitical view, presuming that all trade is done for money, and that specific trade disruptions are irrelevant because oil is a fungible commodity and any disruptions will be resolved through markets. Energy security, according to this view, need only concern itself with the ability of the market to allocate supply efficiently during a disruption. Although consumers often treat short-term price fluctuations as crises, they really represent normal cyclical behavior for a cartelized commodity. Oil crisis are political events, but the primary damage is economic, through the mechanism of oil price chance. Even when supply and consumption are relatively balanced, hoarding can create or exacerbate price increases. A major element that causes hoarding (and price changes in a more general sense) is uncertainty about supply, which is typically worse due to political interference in the market, whether international (as in 1973) or an exogenous event (as in 1979). Future oil crises, while far milder than 1979, can be expected to exceed the experience of 1990 in terms of price increase and related economic damage. Hoarding appears to be the most likely danger, but other elements, including policy mistakes, remain a concern. The passage of time reduces the number of policymakers with experience of oil crises, and raises the likelihood of poor policy choices during future supply disruptions. However, the primary current energy security threat is that of hoarding, give the significant probability of supply disruptions which are just large enough to cause price spikes, and which would be greatly worsened by the wrong inventory behavior. This is pertinent to policy-makers because hoarding is rational behavior during a period of supply uncertainty. Since the political element of supply disruptions creates or magnifies uncertainly about supply and encourages this trend, political intervention to reduce it seems particularly appropriate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emerging Dynamics: Science, Energy, Society and Values focuses on the impact of science, science-based technology and scientific values on present-day humanity and its future. The book advocates for a science willing to accommodate both human values and scientific facts. The four main subjects focused on throughout the text are: The overwhelming impact of modern science and science-based technology on virtually every aspect of human life Human values and their significance for science and society The need for mutual accommodation between scientific values and the traditional values of society The fundamental role of energy for civilization and society. The book cuts across scientific disciplines and looks at modern civilization through the knowledge provided by the physical, chemical, biomedical and other branches of natural science. The book is unique in its holistic approach, combining knowledge acquired by deduction, reduction-induction, and experimental scientific methods with knowledge acquired through history, philosophy, the arts, faith and cultural traditions. Modern civilization’s most distinct characteristics are due to science, science-based technology and energy. The role of energy in the sustainability of civilization and the impact of biomedical science on man are especially emphasized throughout this timely book, making a case for a hopeful future based on both science and values. A science guided in its applications by human values and a value system cognizant of the facts of science and willing to accommodate them
