Admiral Rickover had some interesting things to say about energy back in 1957. Including thoughts on alternatives, etc. Worth re-reading the speech he gave, or reading for the first time, to gain some perspective on what’s going on in the world for the past 10 years or so, and how it all connects to energy resources.
He was hugely incorrect on one thing: He predicted only 4 billion population in 2000. http://www.energybulletin.net/node/23151
