The new energy system reduces (and eventually eliminates) our oil-dependence through increased efficiency of existing fuels,and deployment of alternative fuels.
Two excellent books on this topic,that I enjoyed,are:
-Winning the oil endgame (by:Amory B. Lovins)
-The end of oil:on the edge of a perilous new world (by Paul Roberts)
Many alternatives to oil exist.One particularly interesting and powerful combination is solar photovoltaics and electric vehicles.The resource I recommend for this is: http://solarchargeddriving.com/.
This is just one excellent example of how we can begin to end our oil addiction.
Enjoy these excellent resources!
