Peak Oil in 5 Slides (plus Gas Prices) by Aaron Wissner

Posted by admin on March 6th, 2010 and filed under world oil production | No Comments »

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.

Pat Murphy — Beyond Sustainability: Surviving Peak Oil 3/4

Posted by admin on February 25th, 2010 and filed under world oil production | No Comments »

http://localfuture.org

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.

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

Posted by admin on February 13th, 2010 and filed under peak oil production | 7 Comments »

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.

Peak Oil

Peak Oil will inevitably occur. The debate surrounding peak oil is not over its existence, but its chronology. Even if we were to assume conservative estimates, our developed societies are so entrenched in oil production we should begin to mitigate the consequences IMMEDIATELY.

Hubbert ’s OIL PEAK Theory

Posted by admin on February 4th, 2010 and filed under world oil production | 3 Comments »

Peak oil is the point in time when the maximum rate of global petroleum production is reached, after which the rate of production enters terminal decline. If global consumption is not mitigated before the peak, a world energy crisis may develop because the availability of conventional oil will drop and prices will rise, perhaps dramatically.

Peak Oil Musical

Posted by admin on January 31st, 2010 and filed under global oil production | 4 Comments »

The global oil production is about to peak. Many countries have already peaked and now on the decline.

We have not been discovering any new souces of oil for already a while, with the end of discoveries, the end of production is just around the corner.

There will be fundamental changes to our societies, we will no longer have the oil and gas to fuel our progress.
