I did a search on Lindsey Williams because I’d never heard of the guy. I found he wrote a book a number of years ago entitled The Energy Non-Crisis, and I found in one article about the book the following:
“Mr. Williams firmly believes that whoever controls energy controls the economy. Thus, The Energy Non-Crisis.
Because of the outstanding public response that has been generated by this book, Lindsey Williams is in great demand for speaking engagements, radio, and TV shows.”

FWIW: I never heard of the book prior to this posting, nor have I ever heard of Lindsey Williams. I would believe as old as this book is, and the apparent content that it would have been quite newsworthy.
In many ways “non-crisis” is correct. If you own a Diesel, you can burn used but filtered vegatable oil instead of the more expensive Diesel fuel.
Changing our habits take effort but it may well pay off in the long run. And not everyone has to do it, just a sizable minority.
