How long can this global oil supply level be maintained? When will the decline in oil supply begin? How will that impact already rising gasoline prices, oil prices, food prices and the struggling state of the world economy?
To address shrinking fossil fuel supplies, increasing CO2 emissions, and rising global inequity we need to make immediate and drastic cuts to our energy use. Learn about viable curtailment strategies for food, housing, and transportation, why most “sustainable” and “green” techniques are inadequate, and how we can create cooperative low-energy communities to survive.
Pat Murphy is the Executive Director of Community Solutions in Yellow Springs, Ohio, co-writer and co-producer of the film, “The Power of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil” (2006) and author of the forthcoming book “Plan C: Community Survival Strategies for Peak Oil and Climate Change.”
The International Conference on Peak Oil and Climate Change: Paths to Sustainability explores the root cause of rising gas prices, global warming, biodiversity loss and other indicators of global unsustainability.

Gas prices are rising, at this rate, the average price of gasoline in the USA will rise from $4 per gallon to $10 per gallon in less than seven years.
Oil prices are also rising, and if they continue going up at this rate, will be $1,000 per barrel within 10 years.
What is causing gasoline, diesel, propane, fuel oil, petroleum and oil prices to rise so quickly?
The answer is that demand is increasing all over the world, everywhere, but at the same time, world oil supply is NOT increasing. In fact, world oil supply was “stuck” at under 85 million barrels per day for over three years.
We may be at peak oil. The economic impacts we have seen may just be the beginning.
Using his renown “Peak Oil in Five Slides”, Aaron Wissner explains what is going on, and how rising prices are related to stagnant oil supply.

(1/27/10) Barack Obama–State of the Union: “To create more of these clean energy jobs, we need more production, more efficiency, more incentives. That means building a new generation of safe, clean nuclear power plants in this country. It means making tough decisions about opening new offshore areas for oil and gas development. It means continued investment in advanced biofuels and clean coal technologies.”

Gas prices are rising, demand for oil is rising, and yet oil production stopped rising over three years ago. Peak oil may be here, and it’s taking us unprepared.
How long can this oil production level be maintained? When will the decline in oil supply begin? How will that impact already rising gasoline prices, oil prices, food prices and the struggling state of the world economy?
The International Conference on Peak Oil and Climate Change: Paths to Sustainability explores the root cause of rising gas prices, global warming, biodiversity loss and other indicators of global unsustainability.
With high powered, international speakers and authors including Richard Heinberg, Dr. David Goodstein, Megan Quinn Bachman, Julian Darley, Stephanie Mills and Pat Murphy, the uncertainties of energy and climate will be illuminated in this first-of-its-kind international conference.
The event begins with an in-depth scientifically-rigorous overview of the global issues of peak oil, climate change, environmental degradation, biodiversity loss, and population growth and how these are impacting individuals, businesses, nations, the environment and the world.
Participants then focus on the concepts of sustainability and the associated value systems and cultural visions. A spectrum of breakout seminar presentations led by professionals and experts help individuals, businesses, governments and communities move towards a vision of local cultures of sustainability.
Join with a broad array of professionals, politicians, business leaders, and concerned citizens for this unique high-level international conference that explores the causes of global problems and proposes solutions to move humanity toward lasting paths of sustainability.

The latest video from Sustainable Earth. Includes new reports from government, the military, intelligence agencies and major NGO’s. It ends on a positive note; the reality of consequence will finally free humanity from short-term thinking.
I looked at literally dozens of reports for this short video…in the end I picked the most credible and those that summed up the prevailing thinking of the world’s best experts. Unfortunately it was impossible to include every detail; this is just an introduction to the subject. For further reading the files which make up this video are below.

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.
