Preparing For Peak Oil – Part 4 of 4
Lifting The Offshore Oil Drilling Ban, Feeding The Oil Habit
President Bush and the Republican’t Nominee John McBush are both trying to exploit our pain at the gas pump into an opportunity to get even more profits for the oil companies by lifting the ban on offshore oil drilling.
This is an environmental disaster waiting to happen and it will NOT help lower gas prices. Worse yet it is an investment in continuing our dependence on oil and our reliance on oil producing countries that hate us.
It is time that we “turn and face the change” to alternative energy, renewable resources, Green Energy.

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

A New Analogy for Peak Oil and Gas Prices
Peak Oil is the point of maximum production rates… it is not about “Running out of oil”
When peak oil production is reached, and demand for oil continues to soar. Then the price of oil will continue to go up.

Adaptability to a near term peak in oil production
Some comments I have on adaption methods I’ve heard in response to a near term peak in global oil production.
Upon review this video is of rather poor video/audio quality – if you would like to see any of my references please message me directly. I’ll make improvements for the future.

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