Winning the Oil Endgame

Winning the Oil Endgame is a 2005 book by Amory B. Lovins, published by the Rocky Mountain Institute. It talks about four ways to reduce oil (petroleum) dependence in the United States:

Using oil more efficiently (pp. 29–102).
Substituting other liquids for oil (pp. 103–111).
Substituting saved natural gas for oil (pp. 111–122).
Replacing oil with hydrogen (pp. 228–242).

Problems and solutions

The authors suggest that oil dependence is a problem we need no longer have. U.S. oil dependence can be profitably eliminated by proven and attractive technologies. The authors argue that America can lead the world into the post-petroleum era and create a vibrant economy. (p.xiii)
