Peak Oil: The Next Steps Pt 4
Peak Oil: The Next Steps Pt 4 We remain free as always to choose to fear the consequences of a permanent decline in the availability of affordable and accessible fossil fuel supplies. The enduring impact on our society and our ways of life as a result of a diminished supply of our primary energy supply […]
Peak Oil: Are We Not Better Than This? Pt 9
Peak Oil: Are We Not Better Than This? Pt 9 There are—almost always—at least two sides to any story of significance and potential impact upon others. The greater the impact and potential for a range of outcomes, the more certain one can be that there are more than a handful of factors, considerations, and perspectives […]
Peak Oil: The Next Steps Pt 1
Peak Oil: The Next Steps Pt 1 I ended last week’s post by explaining the significance of getting all of the facts about our energy supply future as a first step. Before deciding whether or not to accept the realities of a depleting finite resource and the impact this will have on our society—or ignoring […]
Peak Oil: Where To Begin?
Peak Oil: Where To Begin? The unpleasant truth now and soon is that the ready supply of oil and gas which we almost always take for granted [the occasional price spike notwithstanding] is on its way to becoming not-so-ready. A host of factors now in place are steadily converting possibility into likelihood. Thinking that we’ll […]
Peak Oil: Time To Get Serious Pt 4
Peak Oil: Time To Get Serious Pt 4 A fossil fuel-driven-and-made-possible life is all any of us have ever known. There are virtually no aspects of commerce, leisure, transportation, or consumption which do not depend in some part on inexpensive, readily-available and easily-produced fossil fuels. That is most certainly not going to change dramatically overnight, […]
Peak Oil: Time To Get Serious Pt 1
Peak Oil: Time To Get Serious Pt 1 The truths, unpleasant though they may be, are the truths: inexpensive, readily available oil is slowly but surely becoming less readily available, more expensive, and harder to come by. Current conditions [ultra-low prices; curtailed/canceled oil production and exploration projects; over-supply; declining investments; high debt] only highlight that […]
Peak Oil: We All Do This, But…. Pt 2
Peak Oil: We All Do This, But…. Pt 2 I ended last week’s post on the topic of Confirmation Bias* with these questions: After all, who among us wants to be wrong about important matters on which we’ve staked no small amount of credibility? But what if being wrong about those important matters winds up being the least […]
Peak Oil: The Underlying Reality
Peak Oil: The Underlying Reality Sir, Martin Wolf, in ‘Cheap oil puts humanity on a slippery slope’ (December 2) states: ‘The emergence of shale oil underlines what was already fairly clear, namely, that the global supply capacity is not only enormous but expanding. Forget peak oil.’ He is mistaken. Even the International Energy Agency acknowledges […]
