Crash Course: Chapter 17b – Energy Budgeting (1 of 2) by Chris Martenson

admin — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 04:17:05 +0000

Chapter 17b – Energy Budgeting (1 of 2): Petroleum has supplied the surplus energy that has allowed for social complexity, industrialization, and the modern conveniences that we enjoy. In this chapter, Dr. Chris Martenson explains that in the future our supply of surplus energy will decline due to the fact that increasing amounts of energy will be required to produce new energy. When poor net energy (ERoEI) returns are paired with peak oil production, it points to a return to a less complex society.

Economic Collapse: Our Unsustainable System vs. the Peak Oil & The Decline of the Master Resource

admin — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 00:25:20 +0000

Our global economic system is dependent on a growing energy, and most importantly, oil supply.

Without growth in energy, the money supply can not grow (for long), which leads to a situation where the money supply stops growing, leading to economic recession.

When the USA hit its peak oil production in 1970, there were a series of economic impacts, including recession, abandoning the gold standand, high unemployment, and high inflation.

Global peak oil extraction appears to have happened in the 2005-2008 time frame, and had a large contributing effect on stressing the global economic system to the verge of collapse. The run up in gas gasoline prices during that same era impacted the economic system severely.

The US Government and many others have examined the global peak oil issue and have come to the sobering conclusion that severe economic impacts are inevitable, and we are unprepared.

Future oil prices may be driven up by the stagnant or declining supply, and then collapsing down as economic dislocation occurs.

This is the second part of a 30 minute talk by Aaron Wissner about our Local Future.

Crash Course: Chapter 17a – Peak Oil (1 of 2) by Chris Martenson

admin — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 03:46:03 +0000

Chapter 17a – Peak Oil (1 of 2): Energy is the lifeblood of any economy and a steady supply of energy is necessary to maintain the status quo, while an ever-increasing supply is needed to grow an economy. In this chapter, Dr. Chris Martenson explains that Peak Oil is not a theory, rather it is a description of how oil production increases over time, reaches a peak, then declines. Evidence points to a global production peak in the near future, which is troubling since the U.S. imports two-thirds of its oil and relies on it to much of its transportation and food production needs.
