The Get

The consumption of energy is fundamental for the existence and growth of civilization; however, the continuing use of our past principal sources of energy, coal and oil, has brought the world and America face to face with three intolerable consequences. The three intolerables are: The Grand Energy Transition, The GET, is an ongoing, powerful evolut... ionary energy transition that is bringing civilization out of a millennia-long epoch of limited, unsustainable dirty, solid fuels, through what history will record as a relatively short liquid transition to a future epoch of sustainable, virtually limitless, clean gaseous fuels - called by the author, the Age of Energy Gases. The GET shows us how to accelerate the transition to the sustainable energy gases of natural gas, wind, solar and hydrogen that can eliminate the civilization threatening consequences of continued coal and foreign oil consumption. By viewing energy consumption based upon its state of matter rather than the fuel itself, an ongoing powerful evolutionary transition is revealed that clearly shows our energy past, present and future. And most important today, as these potentially deadly three intolerables are materializing, The GET shows us which energy sources and technologies are likely to be the winners and which are likely to be the losers. By concentrating our best minds, capital, policies and national will upon the winners, we will be able to rapidly accelerate The GET - Jet The GET.

Hefner III, a life-time natural gas explorer, producer, energy thinker and theorist, explains the workings of The GET, and recognizing the long history in which natural gas has been considered a superior fuel, but of limited supply, he takes head-on the case for natural gas abundance. He argues that natural gas supplies are not related directly to oil, and that natural gas is a much larger resource than liquid oil in both America and the world. Hefner also makes the ...Read More
