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.

Driving down the two lane roads of South Central Illinois, you can usually spot an oil well or two. In this case, the ones we spotted were open and available for some camera work. They run with Fairbanks Morse flywheel engines that use the wellhead gas for fuel. Cooling water is sealed and recycled through a radiator and lubrication is never far away. As a result, these engines can run for a week or more before attention is required. In fact, at a slow, steady speed, their lifetime is practically unlimited. Change out a spark plug or maybe a bearing or a valve and it’s ready to go to work again. See the Oil Field Engine discussion group at WWW.SMOKSTAK.COM for more information.

When I was little what scared me most was what might be hiding in my closet in the middle of the night. Any monster in my closet has nothing on peak oil O.O So next time your child is upset cause he thinks a monster might be in the closet, just sit him down and explain peak oil. He won’t think the monster so bad anymore.
Peak oil is the point in time when the maximum rate of global petroleum extraction is reached, after which the rate of production enters terminal decline. The concept is based on the observed production rates of individual oil wells, and the combined production rate of a field of related oil wells. The aggregate production rate from an oil field over time usually grows exponentially until the rate peaks and then declines—sometimes rapidly—until the field is depleted. This concept is derived from the Hubbert curve, and has been shown to be applicable to the sum of a nations domestic production rate, and is similarly applied to the global rate of petroleum production. Peak oil is often confused with oil depletion; peak oil is the point of maximum production while depletion refers to a period of falling reserves and supply.

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.
