We now take for granted that economic growth is good, necessary, and even inevitable, but also feel a sense of unease about the simultaneous growth of complexity in the processes and institutions that generate and manage that growth. As societies grow more complex through the bounty of cheap energy, they also confront problems that seem to increase in number and severity. In this era of fossil fuels, cheap energy and increasing complexity have been in a mutually-reinforcing spiral. The more energy we have and the more problems our societies confront, the more we grow complex and require still more energy. How did our demand for energy, our technological prowess, the resulting need for complex problem solving, and the end of easy oil conspire to make the Deepwater Horizon oil spill increasingly likely, if not inevitable? This book explains the real causal factors leading up to the worst environmental catastrophe in U.S. history, a disaster from which it will take decades to recover. | | 出版日期 | Book 2012 | | 关键词 | Deepwater Horizon; Halliburton Gulf of Mexico; Macondo well; Offshore drilling; Transocean oil rig; bp; ch | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4419-7677-2 | | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4419-7676-5 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4419-7677-2 | | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2012 |
