For 150 years, oil supplies have grown continuously to meet rising demand
Everything we know about modern life has been predicated on this fact. We are entering an era unknown in human history - embarking on a new development paradigm - in which oil consumption must fall to meet declining supplies.
This changes everything - enter the Oil Bear.
The Oil Bear's handler is Dr. Gary Kendall: an ExxonMobil veteran of 9 years, author of WWF's influential Plugged In, and a concerned citizen who believes this period in time is uniquely important to anyone who cares about the future of civilised society.
