The reality of oil depletion is undeniable. Volumes of publicly available data, collected over many decades, demonstrate that the world may have reached the point of maximum oil production. Despite the clarity of the facts and data, leaders in government, industry, and business are reluctant to articulate and address the enormous challenges that a declining oil supply will have on the world economy – and the urgent steps that should be taken to mitigate shortages of our most valuable energy source. This video features industry veterans Sadad al-Husseini, Jeremy Gilbert, Jeremy Leggett, and Chris Skrebowski, who discuss why governments and business are reluctant to face up to the realities of peak oil.

Perhaps big oil doesn’t “come out” because all would break loose; including vast investment in alternatives to oil and gas; the less time we have to adapt, the more valuable what remains will be.

Weve hit the peak oil iceberg, now things have slowed down and were in the boat trying to make sense of it all. Meanwhile the sedative media band is playing in hopes of the ship returning to its robust vigor. While all passengers mingle, the distinction of class becomes faded. And then theres the one primarily responsible, the owner, trying to save his skin without anyone noticing. Sounds all too familiar.
