Everyone knew it was crazy to try to extract oil and natural gas buried in shale rock deep below the ground. Everyone, that is, except a few reckless wildcatters - who risked their careers to prove the world wrong.

Things looked grim for American energy in 2006. Oil production was in steep decline and natural gas was hard to find. The Iraq War threatened the nation’s already tenuous relations with the Middle East. China was rapidly industrializing and competing for resources. Major oil companies had just about given up on new discoveries on U.S. soil, and a new energy crisis seemed likely.

But a handful of men believed everything was about to change.

Far from the limelight, Aubrey McClendon, Harold Hamm, Mark Papa, and other wildcatters were determined to tap massive deposits of oil and gas that Exxon, Chevron, and other giants had dismissed as a waste of time. By experimenting with hydraulic fracturing through extremely dense shale—a process now known as fracking—the wildcatters started a revolution. In just a few years, they solved America’s dependence on imported energy, triggered a global environmental controversy—and made and lost astonishing fortunes.

No one understands these men—their ambitions, personalities, methods, and foibles—better than the award-winning Wall Street Journal reporter Gregory Zuckerman. His exclusive access enabled him to get close to the frackers and chronicle the untold story of how they transformed the nation and the world. The result is a dramatic narrative tracking a brutal competition among headstrong drillers. It stretches from the barren fields of North Dakota and the rolling hills of northeastern Pennsylvania to cluttered pickup trucks in Texas and tense Wall Street boardrooms.

Activists argue that the same methods that are creating so much new energy are also harming our water supply and threatening environmental chaos. The Frackers tells the story of the angry opposition unleashed by this revolution and explores just how dangerous fracking really is.

The frackers have already transformed the economic, environmental, and geopolitical course of history. Now, like the Rockefellers and the Gettys before them, they’re using their wealth and power to influence politics, education, entertainment, sports, and many other fields. Their story is one of the most important of our time.

我不是一个喜欢经济的人,大概是因为我口袋经常很扁。但我却是一个喜欢故事的人,大约是因为自己的人生平淡。 之所以接触这本书,是因为朋友的力荐。那就读读看看吧。抛开这场能源革命背后的页岩气不说,我还是被这些“富豪”的故事吸引。 他们真实的生活,他们遇到的挫折,他...

页岩革命 我想,在人类发展史上,没有比石油开采更让人类觉得兴奋的事了。第二次工业革命和石油紧密相连,决定了人类发展的速度。同时,世界上经济、政治、战争……等,都与石油密切相关,时刻影像着世界。但是,石油所决定的众生的命运到底是怎样运作的呢?人类的进步和开...

话说咱们民间有句俗语,“老虎不发威,以为是只病猫”。这话搁在《页岩革命》这本书头上,恰如一顶量身定做的帽子,正合尺寸。 从格雷戈里.祖克曼书中可知,美国人给搞石油的个体户起了个绰号“野猫”,大意是,净干些不靠谱的事。 读后掩卷回味,且不说书中这些野猫失意时...

如果你问我感觉美帝国主义都有哪些致命弱点?我第一反应估计就是石油不足,如果再说其他的,似乎就要费脑筋了。因为所接触的美国信息,除了德先生与李小姐,除了好莱坞电影,就是不停的在中东挑起事端,传说这一切都是为了石油。国内某些战略家(大多口头的战略家),一谈对抗...

美国不只是有Silicon Valley...

美国页岩革命成功有三个主要原因。第一土地私有,个人拥有矿产权,让协商变得更加快捷,不需要包纳漫长的政府审核过程;第二基础设施健全,管道设施及地质信息的精准数据库,以及巨大的金融资本支持,搜集与储存设施,及有经验的劳动力;第三是企业家精神,以及合适的资本主义激励体系,让坚持不懈与功名垂涎驱使企业家们奋进,这对很多政府干预的国家不适用。中国尽管拥有第一大的页岩气储备,第三大的页岩油储备,但矿石构象更加复杂,开采过程需要更多的水,而水本身已是稀缺,而且没有管道,油服公司,或其他相应的基础设施。另外,由于山脉地形广袤,开采可能会造成板块运动与地震的发生。

后半部分写的有凑字数之嫌啊,有时候震撼业界的技术,其实简单直白的讲似乎毫不起眼,但是却足以影响千万人的生活

评分

Entertaining recap of the shale boom, as true an American occurrence as anything. But where does that leave renewables?

非常好看的关于能源的一本书,但说融资10亿很容易真的大丈夫?
