A WARNING TO THE WORLD FROM NEW ZEALAND -TIMES UP!

[gin198]

dubai and the Arab countries oil will drop to a low.. A barrel will end up costing $50 a barrel.. for those countries to sustain any viable income they need to be over 80 dollars. if they go anything under that they will run broke which is the plan of the elite. They plan to make these countries broke and thats only the beginning. Dubai will be forced to rely on the American Reserve. and thats exactly what they want . so america can control these countries. watch Dubai go broke soon.

Hey what ever happened to that big project called Motonui a synthetic petrol producing plant. I know they mothballed it when the price of a barrel dived so the shut cant be permenant. Any comments on that Cheers BAZ in Noosa Heads Aust ex Auckland

Dear Bryan, New zealand I believe uses around a 160,000 barrels of oil a day and NZ used 69 per cent of fossil fuel and the remaining 31 percent is renewable (hydro, thermal, and a little wind. New Zealand is looking pretty good even tho they destroyed the land scape. New zealand is situated well to weather the peak oil dramas in the for seeable future. There are a few big projects that need to be build bio diesel, ethanol plants made from wood chip and farm waste. from Dave

I agree we have destroyed the landscape. Once a tree covered land, in particular the North Island but now grass for farming mostly dairy. Shaved the earth and left it open to the sun. Number 8 fence with open sky. I have no answers and just trying to describe the problem . Still a majority in denial....

[buzzz121]

We have plenty of oil here in the US we just don't want to drill for it.

[longfinnedeeler]

@buzzz121 Lols...you'd rather bankrupt your economy by buying oil instead of selling it and so averting the massive financial crisis the US is currently in? Hmmmm doesn't make sense.

[Bernd1964]

The end of cheap oil is coming fast but we shouldn't regard this is an unbearable predicament, more as a chance to invent a new fabric of society and a new culture of living. I dislike the contemporary culture because of redundant plastics, meaningless entertainment and prefabricated waste. Everything has become to interchangeable and faceless in today's consumer society. I think humanity can do better. I am ready for the great correction.

[bryanpepperell]

Agree 112 percent with what you say. The problem will come for those who haven't stopped to think!!!

Cheers

A most excellent & informative video. Those of my generation (b. 1951) and older bear great reponsibility here. We are leaving the young a world perhaps desolate and depleted.

I hope to read your friends' books in the near future.

The best to you & yours and "lifeboat" NZ!

Thanks Bryan, John, Ricky, appreciate your stand, awesome and necessary!

[halfasheep]

climate change? I'm not on the mainstream bandwagon with this subject.

[MsSimpleLife]

Love your channel name

[halfasheep]

halfasheep- yeah glad you appreciate it. I grew up on a sheep and apple farm in NZ once upon a time.

the god known as Google finds that I'm not the only human to think up the online name.

Simple life aye :-) check out the orionifo channel.

Yes, but nobody cares until the price of gas hits $4 per gallon (here in the USA, I know prices in Europe, etc are higher). Money talks. We need to conserve MORE now.

[aartvegan]

What is the cause of oil price fluctuationns?

[starzship]

aartvegan- There are many factors, and I don't know in depth about it all, but it would include supply and demand, politics, wars, oil companies themselves, etc. Tell me what you think causes oil fluctuations.

[aartvegan]

Hi, the supply of oil has always been there, it's not like the supply suddenly decreased, then after an 'oil crisis' the oil reserves suddenly increased.

[starzship]

Aartvegan- That may have been true before but I believe all the countries around the world are sucking up all the oil. It is not infinite supply. We will run out at some point. Oil crises can be caused by political turmoil, wars, etc yes, that will make the price go up because of the uncertainly of it's availability from certain regions of the world, not necessarily that the supply is dwindling. .

[bryanpepperell]

Hi - I have a different view to John Robinson and think the energy bank is close to running on empty. Once an oil well has reached peak it becomes less economic to operate. There is a point where there is a zero sum game and the price of extracting is greater than what you get from any given source. That is certainly true of oil sands and coal. Even hydrogen is energy intensive to make. Technically hydrogen is a carrier and not an energy source as you need energy to make it.

[starzship]

bryan- I agree. Cheap oil days are numbered. But the big governments are not telling us, because the price would probably jump to $50 per gallon. Think of how that will affect ALL the goods/products that are made from oil? Plastics, electronics, etc. Prices will collapse the world market. Yes, Hydrogen , I've read, must be made and uses a lot of energy to produce. Even electricity is not clean- it's from coal burning plants.

[bryanpepperell]

Serious and troubling times are ahead. Learning to do things on a back to basics sounds like a good idea. It's too little too late now and so fasten your set belt as it's going to get bumpy! Hydroden is what is called a carrier. The fuel cell is costly to construct . You can't get more out than you put in with all these alternatives.

[xWiggEEboarDx]

instead of using oil for combustable motors for fuel driven devices, we ought to be creating vector field driven tesla turbine motors in replacement of this corporate controled resource. therefore we eliminate a high number of pollution, the device would never have to depend or rely on fuel to receive power because it can run †infinitely† on its own.

[ShaneChiswick]

nice work guys. NZ would certainly look attractive to refugees, how will you stop them coming in masses?

[mopme2008]

excellent, informative, 5 stars.
