Klare is the leader of the resource wars academic crowd. No one mines and re-mines that field more.
Cool stats: by 2030, China and U.S. combined equal 41% of global GDP, 39% of total energy use, and 45% of CO2 emissions.
But in this book, even Klare ends with a note about China and the U.S. shifting slowly from competition (not so bad and hardly "war") to cooperation.
His three key cooperation areas for the future: "accelerating the development of petroleum alternatives, promoting a resource-efficient industrial transformation, and developing environmentally safe uses for coal."
Clearly, Lovins got to him.
