Loved this one, as always. One question, my city has a lot of old unused rail lying about. A couple of us have been kicking the idea around of placing it back in service for commuting. Or would we be better off, just going with elevated monorails which follow the freeways that cut through El Paso from east to west and north to south? Anybody out there got any ideas?
Left out of the coal discussion is that the highest grade of coal (anthacite) is already past-peak and in decline.
The next highest grade (bitumen) is probably at peak, and has had flat production for some years.
There may be lots of sub-bitumous left, but it contains far less energy than anthracite or bitumen. And we're starting to mine a lot of lignite, or "brown coal", wh
So those who claim coal will be around for a long time are misleading us!
When Heinberg says peak oil doesn't mean "we are actually running out of oil" that is somewhat misleading. Peak oil certainly does mean someone is running out of oil. As the supply of oil falls farther behind demand, different people will effectively run out of oil at different times, as they get priced out of the oil market. When a person gets priced out depends on how much value they can generate from a unit of oil, which determines their purchasing power.
