a thought occurred to me, it may be dangerous and completely idiot that's why i choose to run it past you folks. late last century we had the ozone hole scare, CFC gasses/compounds were removing our precious ozone and skin cancer were a danger wherever it traveled. but.. with the buildup...

yeah, you're right. first there will not be enough oil for everyone and poor countries will suffer. that is happening already due to the high oil price. poor countries can't afford to buy oil for their powerplants and blackouts are occurring all over africa. then shipping and transport will be...

this should get your interest. former chairman of shell oil is holding a press confrence on peak oil. http://www.davidstrahan.com/blog/?p=40

no.. the answer is most likely in late 2005, we haven't produced more then we did then and the amount of production capacity projected to come online in the next few years does not make up for depletion in other wells since 2005 until now. also. the demand for oil has risen markedly and supply...

no, general discussion is where it belongs. peak oil is a subject that involves absolutely everyone. it will impact every person on this planet in some way.

i did put up a link that has new info every day about peak oil. all you have to do is click it. would be a bit of a waste for me to cut and paste the thousands of pages of information contained there to this forum. would most likely get me banned aswell. here is the link again if you...

life is what you get out of friends and family. a man from ny guinea chopping down tree's at day and going home to his family and friends for community dinners and trade some sugar they have acquired for some meat another family has can be just as happy as a N.Y lawyer earning 600k a year...

the reason i said "some african nations" is because i could not remember them from the top of my head, also they are small contributors put next to venezuela for instace. just want to give you folks from the United States another aspect to consider. *Americans drive bigger cars that consume...

sept 14 cnn published an article about peak oil. its a good read. http://money.cnn.com/2007/09/14/news/economy/peak_oil/?postversion=2007091414

its not enough to know that there might be oil somewhere you still need to develop it and there are problems there aswell. currently there are virtually no new refineries being built. and drilling rigs are book for years in the future.. why is this? well.. why would anyone spend billion...

EVO found two articles you should read about the tar sands before you reply. http://canada.theoildrum.com/node/2915 http://www.worldchanging.com/archives/007166.html its a total of max 3 pages and if you can't be arsed to read that much then i really do not need a reply.

"The tar sands of Alberta alone contain enough hydrocarbon to fuel the entire planet for over 100 years," according to Peter Huber, co-author of "The Bottomless Well." well that's just super. too bad it takes a lot of water to get the oil out. and the energy gain is virtually none. the amount...

Peak oil is a definition. in 1956 M. king hubbard a geologist working for shell analyzed the rate of exploration/development/production peaks of oil wells in the united states. he predicted that the United States would reach peak oil in 1970 and was laughed at by the media and geologists...

About 200 days ago i made a thread on this forum about peak oil the thread was called hubbert peak. in that post i asked if you realized that peak oil was coming and got by and large a negative response. things like "no peak oil is myth" and "we will find other energy sources" i...

there is not enough factories to make solar panels on a big level, also there is not enough demand to justify making more factories. when peak oil hits it will take a long time to get the factories up and running to supply the solar panels. not to mention the raw materials needed which is...
