Instead of looking to Chavez and Venisuala for a good example I would point you to Denmark, or The Netherlands. They build their cities correctly and get people out of cars and on to bikes. Venezuala uses too much oil.
@samisacool1, and Richard Heinberg was right, too in his "Calm Before the Storm" (episode 115). We taped it in early June 2008, oil prices spiked in mid-July, and the economy collapsed in September.
You can keep up with Mike Ruppert at collapsenet-dot-com. He's creating a network for people on this wavelength to find each other while maintaining their privacy. And putting out his inimitable opinion pieces. Check it out!
Remember, "Energy can be changed from one form to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed." Fossil fuel is sunlight energy, many years of sunlight stored in a concentrate form. The earth cannot support todays populations without the energy that hydrocarbons provide. Get real now, where will that energy come from? No alternatives near to working yet. That's the rub, everything is theory or "planned" up to now. That fact could prove death to 5 billion people or so.
@drummerforreal1 The recession destroyed demand troll. Use your head, unemployed and underemployed people don't have much income to spend on oil powered and produced things.
@drummerforreal1 'If we were running out of oil do you think it would be at the $3.00 a gallon price? use your head man', that's your quote. Check out the price of oil from 1999-2009 and tell me if the inflation rate of oil, matches the general inflation rate.
@drummerforreal1 Avg price of oil in 1999 compared to avg oil price in 2009? Matches the rate of inflation... if you beleive that then debating with you is a waste of time. type in 'jeff rubin $200' to understand what peak oil really means... bye
@LuqmanNaq First you tell me that the demand is non existent then you tell me that oil is going to 200? When is that supposed to happen? I want your failed prediction twerp.. I'll give you a six month range for oil to go to 200 w/no demand..LOL You must like feeling frightened and panicky? Besiseds that the illuminati will drop the pop to 500mill. Then oil will last forever..for them!!!! That's what's goimng to collapse civilzation is the culling that;'s coming then Armagaedon..Bring it..
@drummerforreal1 you seem to have a hard time comprehending my post here it is again 'type in 'jeff rubin $200' to understand what peak oil really means'.
@drummerforreal1 oil is like crack and you are basing looking for the next oil well like a corner dealer that may or may not be there, ever heard of ORwell read his book 1984
it means oil will get more scarce due to it costing more and more to get the same amount of oil. If the peak was in fact 2005, there is still oil in reserves available, just limited. Current prices are based on production and politics and will fluctuate, but generally would trend up exponentially.
@drummerforreal1 Believe it or not, economics work as such that the very last gallon of oil in the world could very well be sold for $1. If you haven't yet realized how ignorant that comment was (4 months have passed by now), I suggest you go back to bar and don't worry about it.
@drummerforreal1, Looks like Armageddon is pretty much in the sights, then. Our presence in the mid east (control of oil-producing region). I don't think the Oil companies would be drilling a mile or more down UNDER the sea level if they could get cheaper and easier oil.
Sure, oil is unlimited. Extractable CHEAP oil isn't.
@peakmoment They are only drilling a mile deep so they can create catastrophes(on purpose). They want to tax carbon now. Not because we're out of oil. Just to enslave deeper. Tell em to start drilling that brand new Saudia Arabia cache size in Montana. Did you ever think of that?
@drummerforreal1, if you mean the shale oil -- that stuff is a lot more expensive to extract and process. The natural progression of resource extraction is - get the easy cheap stuff first. Only go to the more expensive to extract when you have to. Offshore drilling, Alaska's North Slope, shale oil, tar sands in Canada -- all more expensive.
hope someone at peakmoment reads this, doubt there can be any help given but i was wondering if collapse would ever be out in the uk? ive streamed oy illegally online as its been the only way i could see it but would quite like to own a copy and if it gives money to help all the better. any idea on that? ive noticed you can actually buy it on itunes usa but not itunes uk. thanks for any help :)
@davejsa71289 buy it on Amazon uk bro that's what I did, to thank mike and the makers for such a great work. It saddens me how many people aren't interested in questioning the mainstream media. I'm looking for a local 'tribe' to join to prepare, I can't find anyone who seriously questions things.
@LuqmanNaq yer i tried all the normal websites to buy it but either not there or region 1 only. cheers anyway mate. yer i know what you mean, everyone seems so oblivious!
Rupert is to genial for this discussion. He deserve someone that question him and not only trying to be social and nice. His word is to important for that.
@mickeymoo26, actually not. Mike has a heart of gold, and he has been on the front line warning us all about the events now hitting us, like the Gulf oil gusher. He's been through hell and back, trying to warn people. Watch his film "Collapse." Riveting.
@peakmoment I usually just skip around movies on Netflix, spot scanning maybe seconds of them at a time. Then I played "Collapse" from the very beginning and did not leave my seat for the entire hour and 20 minutes. It was absolutely mesmerizing.
To all the people reading this blog, please watch the movie Collapse. It is not some Conspiracy theorist individual. He discusses Conspiracy facts and talks about where this country is headed. It is not a horror movie but many people will be terrified after watching it.

@gkkhan, I heartily concur. The movie "Collapse" is stunning...one guy, Michael Ruppert, laying out right where we are...and what's ahead. About 80% of the things he predicted in the movie (released in fall 2009) have ALREADY happened! He has just started CollapseNet to help link people together to build "lifeboats." Check out the website.
South America (Venezuela) self reliant? I don't think so. The majority of food is imported from outside the country, paid for by their oil revenue. These people have no idea what Chavez is doing to Venezuela, he is in the midst of nationalizing functioning industries and dismantling any enterprise in the country.
@gardeniabee, Mike is indeed in southern California. He has just launched CollapseNet here on YouTube. Watch the shows. His blog is mikeruppert (dot) blogspot (dot) com.
In Collapse he connects the dots well but, fails to address a solution. There's conitnous corruption, greed, cover up, suppression by the elite as is the case with the probable solution here. For decades an alternative energy source has existed and has been suppressed by the elitist. The energy source is oxygen and hydrogen derived through electrolysis (for those that don't know, electrolysis is basically breaking water down into it's basic elements through electric current).
Most think it's myth, some think it can never be marketed, and the biggest fools are the ones that listen to the continuously lying textbooks. The latest inventor in this is a Florida man by the name of Denny Klein. I guess he doesn't want to meet Stanley Meyers fate and has pretty much focused his invention for clean gas welding. Funny thing is he's adapted this to a Ford Escort.
Again, not trying to meet Stanley Meyer's fate, he has made it run on a gasoline and hydrogen/oxygen mixture. But several other inventors have made cars run solely on the water gasses. It's clean, it's available in mass quantity, the only byproduct emission is actually water, AND WHEN PROPERLY DEVISED WILL RUN ON ALL VEHICLES AS IS (THEY ONLY HAVE TO TAKE OUT THE GASOLINE LINE AND REPLACE IT WITH THE ELECTROLYSIS FED LINE, THAT'S IT!).
I've been interested in Brown's gas, HHO, the technology you mention. But I have yet to find someone neutral who confirm that it is dependable, safe and efficient. If it were, I'd expect a lot of vehicle tinkerers and self-employed mechanics would have this working in their vehicles in a heartbeat. Send links if there's updated info.
Be sure to see him in the film "CoLLapse". Just Mike, sitting, talking. Connecting the dots. Putting his heart out there. A must-see...but see if with friends so you can talk about it. The collapse of our society isn't easy to hear about or contemplate -- but it's happening.
Iraq doesnt have near the oil of Saudi Arabia, the Gowar oil field is the worlds largest but is pumping a heavy watercut now and is sure to collapse in the near future. Venezuela and Uzbekistan are(will be) emerging as giant producers, we import more oil in the US from Canada than anywhere else, so anyone thinking were gonna turn our back on Canada is sadly mistaken, China tried to purchase unocal not long ago, they want the oil too and theyll get it when the petro dollar coverts from US dolars
@babybluesnowden As a Canadian, I can tell you that we are going to be protesting those US exports of our oil and fighting in years to come to uphold our own future and protect our way of life. We will have to. It's our oil, and we need to start keeping it / banking it. Taking cash for it is useless, as we won't be able to live on money. If nations are willing to give up their oil (in their ground) to feed other, it's blindingly stupid. Protect the homeland interest first.
I have to agree with you, you should protect your interests as the future of your country depends on it. NAFTA and the implementation of the Amero are the biggest threats to all of us in North America. They seek to destroy the sovereignty of our nations and merge us together, this spells catastorphic disaster for all of us as peoples. I think Canada is a fantastic country, clean, safe and populated with some terrific people. It seems to me Canada enjoys more freedom and peace than the USA. IMO
keep up the great drive towards self sufficiency and lowering pollution for sure! America's legacy to the future world right now certainly is a sad one.
seepage of what? to thousands of metres below the surface through solid rock? Oil is a natural chemical process caused under pressure at great depth. Oil shortage is a hoax. There are plenty of reserves in other places around the earth including beneath the oceans, of course thousands of years ago billions of dinosaurs roamed the ocean floors!
If it costs more energy to get at that under-ocean oil/gas then WHY in the fk would you try to get it? there are NO new finds on this earth, that we can get efficiently, that will last more than a year at most.
not considering whether I am for or against Michael Rupert's opinions I have to ask you about the technology that can manufacture oil in lab.
Second, how much energy does that cost?
Last, what do you advice should be the possible most efficient transport of such substance?
Because I don't think there is any technology capable of producing oil now (maybe never will be). And it is very likely that if this "oil" is produced it will be more expensive than drilling for oil.
The figures come from oil companies can ya trust them? oil does not come from dinosaurs rationally figure it, how many cubic meters of dinosaurs would it take to produce the amount of oil already consumed by mankind by volume alone? Also this seepage nonsense is outrageous, decaying matter is readily taken care of by small creatures and bacteria leaving only bones,

this guy is an IDIOT, "if you will",, Iraq has %50 more oil that saudi arabia ( appx 350 bllon blls) all he is doing is showing how ignorant he is,, talking in circles and not making sense,,watch and see for urself,,
@tnfellow i've never heard your assertion that iraq has more oil than saudi arabia. But aside from that every major expert (look up Jim Rogers) agrees oil production is in decline and no new oil fields are being found. our insane human population growth has been fueled by petroleum. the course of human progress is coming to an inevitable and drastic change.
Don't know about Peak Moment, but it's sure an instant classic moment when you make him blush his glasses off at the end there, huh?!
Now that I've learned a bit more about him from Wikipedia etc. I'd say giving the good lad a hug was a good call, especially for him at about that time...
'Collapse' looks to be a great movie, with Mr. Ruppert given free reign to talk on everything you guys covered in greater detail, & supported by a big budget production account...but lacking your positive self.
I only saw this interview of you and Michael for the first time about a month ago, having discovered your series about two or three months ago. I went through a period of watching two or three interviews a day for about a month. This was actually a stand out clip for me, both when Michael encourages you not to turn blue or something, and then when you hug him at the end. Those uncut personal touches make this more real and immediate. Also glad to see Mr. Ruppert's movie 'Collapse'!
I'm really glad to see Janaia and this whole set of clips. There is such a lot of positivity surrounding this series, and positivity is really needed here because - even if you only believe a little of what this is all about - things are sure going to be getting negative real soon.
So, what positive things are you doing to help the global village community these days?
hi guys, sorry to irritate. This is one of my earliest interviews, back in 2006. I hope I'm getting better over time, trying to listen more and say less.
@peakmoment Shut up and let the guest speak. Look up "passive aggressive" on WIKI. DOnt feel bad I also suffer from this problem and have to work on it every day. This is simply normal for westerners to do, but in other countries people are not so socially immature and they consider it a great offense....because in truth and in reality it is offensive.
Our Western society it socially disabled and thus consequently has created socially retarded people; I am one of them and am working on it.
I respect your right to have and express your beliefs
Please forgive me for not believing with you regarding over population.
When you sell the false belief that there is a growing population and that the world is over populated you are in fact supporting by default the upcoming global Genocide.
The respect is mutual. I ask only that we each be open to information which may challenge our beliefs.
Numbers indicate the world human population is growing: that is not a belief, that is data which can be confirmed.
Whether or not the world is becoming overpopulated will ultimately be answered by the planet. Any species exceeding the carrying capacity of their environment will have their numbers reduced.
Genocide is human choice. A horrific thought, but it is happening globally already.

There's a name for people like this: PowerDowners.
These people want to see the death of industrial civilization. They are looking forward to Peak Oil, because they think that it will bring about some agrarian collectivist paradise.
Trouble is, this type of "permaculture" will only support about 1/10 of our current population so 90% of the people on Earth need to die to bring it about.
As for me, I think industrial society is worth saving and will fight people like this to my dying breath.
Alternative technologies to oil have existed for some time now but they have been suppressed for two reasons: 1: Money 2. To depopulate. The suppression of technology and peak oil is in the greater scheme of things a recipe to greatly reduce the population of the planet, this is the elite's prime directive. This plan has been in the works for several decades and is soon to come to fruition.
One viable alternative to fossil fuels is Nuclear. We have fuel for centuries, and breeders can extend our supply indefinitely. It can allow electrification of transportation and free up so many resourced and provide a cleaner environment.
There is no need to "PowerDown" and/or "Humanely and systematically reduce the population" (read "sterilize and kill").
I am a nuclear engineer and I live and shop as locally as possible.
I will fight the PowerDowners with my dying breath
Still, the cheaper energy is, the more money people have for consumption; with every country consuming like the US we would wreck this planet in no time. This is why the 3rd world can't be industrialized, even though it would start slowing the population bomb. It's a dilemma. The population is EXPLODING, the elites are gonna whack us out...fegitaboutit.
I think you misunderstood me. I meant consumption in the broader sense, I meant precisely the standard of living. Cheaper energy means people have more money for more consumption and a more screwed up planet. If you industrialize the 3rd world you start to solve the population problem but you then exacerbate the fundamental problem even worse: CONSUMPTION.
when i was younger there was this guy on tv who had made a devie that your lamos plug into before being pluggged to the wall. The device recycled the energy fed into the lamp so that the lamp could stay on forever , problem was that the lights would shine to bright
Do we have enough uranium, plutonium or thorium for centuries? even when worldwide energy consumption grows 3 percent a year and welet nuclear grow from 16 percent of global production to 56? I thought not, maybe you know more. Helium-3 fusion is the long term answer i think, wind solar and nuclear fission short term. (< 50 years) If only we could set up a moon project with private funding
we are living in the dark ages. watch the BBC documentary 'a farm for the future' to understand why.
pay particular attention to when they mention crop yields of permaculture farming (hint, they are high, especially when in the light of it's energy input which is close to 0). there is a possible future for humankind but it will require a massive cultural shift. the documentary is on google video in full. good luck
peek oil is a great concept BUT even when there is only enough oil left for lubrication there are other energy sources that will be used. Hydrogen fuel cells will be number 1. But my point is that many peak oil people are extremist ready to move into caves (I would love to have a cave house) Things will change but it will not be the end of the world just yet.
Im so thankful that someone like him actually sprouted to fight the system. There are too many people that are selfish that don't care about what will happen in the future. Mike Ruppert is THE man.
This guy is genius and he is absolutely right...all his answers come from within him and nobody else and he is not afraid to be a leader of the new age were heading into.
Michael said to support locally-owned banks rather than the big ones like for example Bank of America and Citibank. Some communities have their own alternate currencies. The U.S. doesn't have a new currency, but one can invest in currencies from other currencies, or hold real gold or real silver coins (which have value that paper money doesn't).
Thank you for your reply, I have been having a difficult time understanding how to do this and how. I suppose I dont know where to get other currencies, I dont know which ones are affected by the dollar or how to take a U.S dollar and give it to anyone who wants it. Do you know how I would go about it? I'm really dense I just need direction, just a bit I guess, can you help me?
The deeper connection is all of this peak oil is fake. They went into Iraq to shut down the pumps and make oil scarous, and want to go into Iran and other countries to do the same thing. And time after time when someone finds a way to use water as a fuel source they are stomp out, but ask yourself, Why? If we all have energy independence just think how different your life would be. I mean really think about it, now add that thinking world wide. Can you see?
I think they went to the middle east to take control of the oil resources. Oil production is declining throughout the world, and discoveries peaked in the 1960s. We can use water to create hydrogen, but haven't solved all the problems nor have the infrastructure for it. And it doesn't solve our liquid fuel needs. (Comments based on info from Richard Heinberg, author of Powerdown).
The thing is they have solved it, Stanley Meyer did it in 1998 and at his celibration dinner died from throwing up to death. Dr. Dingel of the Philippines is stil alive and any company that goes to see him gets call from the IMF and World Bank telling them to stop or else. The technology has been around since at least since 1968, maybe even before then. Look these people up for yourself, don't take my word for it. If you come from the stand point of we have come as far as humans can then we lose
Take a look at Peak Moment episode 106: Community Gardens Grow Communities. Folks in Ashland, Oregon, worked with their Parks department to have community gardens be planned into their "recreation" component. Episode 62 has Brooksode Farm - in a schoolyard. We'll want to have gardens on abandoned lots in cities--everywhere.
I've presented this information to my partner many times yet there is no urgency to put ourselves in a sustainable position. I feel like I'm banging my head against the wall. I know it's important to spread this information but people seem to be hard to reach. Denial I guess. Definately growing food and having access to water is vital.
I wrote some about this in my blog at peakmoment (dot) tv/journal, "You are Not alone, or crazy." To face our own denial about the unsustainability of our current lifestyle is very challenging. It goes against everything our culture teaches us. We have a love affair with technology and believe it will save us. Somebody will save us.
They're not. We are the ones who must make the path by walking. We're priviliged to many such folks as we tape Peak Moment shows.
Even if the "abiotic"( self replenishing oil theory is correct it is not going to replenish itself at 74million barrels a day, Supply is not going to meet the increasing demand.fossil fuel or not IT SIMPLY MAKES NO DIFFERENCE!
Yes, we're at peak oil. Demand is steadily exceeding supply. Last week it got up to $134 barrel. It won't be going down, and least not over the long term. Suburbia--I hope suburbia can transform into communities, villages. Tear out some of the roads, put in gardens. Time for creativity!
I'm in Indiana, gas today $4.19 gallon. When I used the term "Peak oil" to people the look on their face is I am speaking Swahili, they have no idea what I am talking about and when I try to explain it their eyes glaze over.
I don't think your average Joe or Jane will get it until their are gas lines, or shortages and then they may just get it. CYA in the gas line boys and girls.
I'm from Argentina....we walk everywhere in Argentina...walk kids to school, walk to the grocery store, walk to church, walk to family/friends homes...this has always been...most families have only one (small car), and many don't even have one.....public transportation is very important. Also there are alot of small groceries stores...so every neighborhood has a grocery at walking distance.
You are fortunate, and your town planners and public transportation people were smart. In America, we have sprawled in suburbs all over our prime agricultural land. Suburbs require you to use the automobile. We are really going to have some major adjustments as oil gets scarce.

Peak oil is bunk. We've got plenty of oil. It's a renewable resource. Read Black Gold Stranglehold: The Myth of Scarcity and the Politics of Oil by Jerome Corsi and Craig Smith.
The majority of global geologists do not see evidence for oil being renewable -in any reasonable timeframe (like the millions of years it took to create the oil we're extracting now). Earth will never run out, it'll just get too expensive to extract it at some point.
The majority of global geologists are the payrolls of oil companies who have a vested interest in the scarcity myth. Oil replenishes itself because it's not a fossil fuel... it emanates from the magma in the earth and natural geological processes. Read Thomas Gold's Deep Hot Biosphere if you're a skeptic.
Retired geologists like Colin Campbell and Kenneth Deffeyes and Jan Lundberg are not on the payroll, and after retirement became among the strongest voicest warning of peak oil. Even if oil replenishes itself, production is declining, and that affects industrial civilization. And, burning it contributes to global climate change. We need alternatives.
"Oil replenishes itself because it's not a fossil fuel..."
That's a completely fallacious statement. Oil is hydrocarbons ... that is, organic materials. It has nothng to do with magma in the least. In fact, if oil-bearing rock formations are brought down too close to the mantle - such as occurs in a plate subduction zone - the oil is "burned" out. This was shown by Anita Harris' study of conodont fossils.

Yes, Brian and I saw Mike Ruppert in Grass Valley at the Vets Hall '04. We just don't agree with MIT and Ivy league academia that free energy is impossible or non-existent. Like Mike, Brian, Gene, Tom, Adam and many others have risked their lives and careers to bring free energy to the world. There is an awful lot of resistance to this even amongst progressive people.
So far as I'm aware, the "free energy" experiments, which tend to defy physics as is generally agreed-upon, haven't proved practical or scaleable. I'm open, but we will need tangible, measurable results beyond the lab to determine whether it can make a difference. However, even with free energy, we are killing the planet with resource use and population. Free energy would only worsen that, in the system we now have.
That's just not true. It doesn't defy physics. Remember physics laws are not laws but 'rules of thumb' and succesful ZPE and over-unity experiments have been proven time and again as well as published in peer reviewed scientific journals. Tom Bearden, Eugene Mallove, Adam Trombly and Brian O'Leary amongst others have impressive credentials by any standard. I would seriously look into this research, don't take my word for it.
That's just not true. It is not agreed upon, being entrapped in false collective thinking is dangerous. No offense but MIT and academia mainstream are wrong. Let's not forget who pays their salaries. Brian and I feel that Mike should stop listening to the mainstream MIT 'experts' and start looking into this because we appreciate his honesty and what he's doing for humanity.
As far as impacting the planet ZPE and advanced hydrogen (Mallove's work) would help regenerate the Earth not destroy it. Some websites for everyone who is interested: brianoleary dot com, infinite-energy dot org, I don't know Trombly or Bearden but you can do a search on them and find their work.
I like Mike but his knowledge of advanced energy technology is very, very limited. He and all of you should look into the work of Eugene Mallove, Brian O'Leary, Tom Bearden, Adam Trombly, etc.
Not supposedly, they are or were. I'm good friends with Brian (we both used to live in Nevada County) and we saw Ruppert talk at the Vets Hall in Grass Valley '04. It was good, we just don't agree with the mainstream academia's assertion that free energy is impossible.
I agree there are some major changes coming our way - especially Americans. But all the Doom and Gloom , End of the Empire talk is fearmongering, plain and simple. People create a sub culture and sell shit.
Empire, and its latest manifestation as capitalism and consumerism, are based on unsustainable principles (like endless economic growth). So I think the world as we know it is ending, and something else is emerging...human culture will become sustainable, either through our actions or through nature itself.
talk about prescient. a lovely conservational style interview with mutual concern and empathy for humanity. a rarity.

Remember, "Energy can be changed from one form to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed." Fossil fuel is sunlight energy, many years of sunlight stored in a concentrate form. The earth cannot support todays populations without the energy that hydrocarbons provide. Get real now, where will that energy come from? No alternatives near to working yet. That's the rub, everything is theory or "planned" up to now. That fact could prove death to 5 billion people or so.

it means oil will get more scarce due to it costing more and more to get the same amount of oil. If the peak was in fact 2005, there is still oil in reserves available, just limited. Current prices are based on production and politics and will fluctuate, but generally would trend up exponentially.

@drummerforreal1, Looks like Armageddon is pretty much in the sights, then. Our presence in the mid east (control of oil-producing region). I don't think the Oil companies would be drilling a mile or more down UNDER the sea level if they could get cheaper and easier oil.
Sure, oil is unlimited. Extractable CHEAP oil isn't.
peakmoment 1 year ago
@peakmoment They are only drilling a mile deep so they can create catastrophes(on purpose). They want to tax carbon now. Not because we're out of oil. Just to enslave deeper. Tell em to start drilling that brand new Saudia Arabia cache size in Montana. Did you ever think of that?
drummerforreal1 1 year ago
@drummerforreal1, if you mean the shale oil -- that stuff is a lot more expensive to extract and process. The natural progression of resource extraction is - get the easy cheap stuff first. Only go to the more expensive to extract when you have to. Offshore drilling, Alaska's North Slope, shale oil, tar sands in Canada -- all more expensive.

In Collapse he connects the dots well but, fails to address a solution. There's conitnous corruption, greed, cover up, suppression by the elite as is the case with the probable solution here. For decades an alternative energy source has existed and has been suppressed by the elitist. The energy source is oxygen and hydrogen derived through electrolysis (for those that don't know, electrolysis is basically breaking water down into it's basic elements through electric current).

Most think it's myth, some think it can never be marketed, and the biggest fools are the ones that listen to the continuously lying textbooks. The latest inventor in this is a Florida man by the name of Denny Klein. I guess he doesn't want to meet Stanley Meyers fate and has pretty much focused his invention for clean gas welding. Funny thing is he's adapted this to a Ford Escort.

Again, not trying to meet Stanley Meyer's fate, he has made it run on a gasoline and hydrogen/oxygen mixture. But several other inventors have made cars run solely on the water gasses. It's clean, it's available in mass quantity, the only byproduct emission is actually water, AND WHEN PROPERLY DEVISED WILL RUN ON ALL VEHICLES AS IS (THEY ONLY HAVE TO TAKE OUT THE GASOLINE LINE AND REPLACE IT WITH THE ELECTROLYSIS FED LINE, THAT'S IT!).

Because I don't think there is any technology capable of producing oil now (maybe never will be). And it is very likely that if this "oil" is produced it will be more expensive than drilling for oil.

Whether or not the world is becoming overpopulated will ultimately be answered by the planet. Any species exceeding the carrying capacity of their environment will have their numbers reduced.

There's a name for people like this: PowerDowners.
These people want to see the death of industrial civilization. They are looking forward to Peak Oil, because they think that it will bring about some agrarian collectivist paradise.
Trouble is, this type of "permaculture" will only support about 1/10 of our current population so 90% of the people on Earth need to die to bring it about.
As for me, I think industrial society is worth saving and will fight people like this to my dying breath.
tuttt99 2 years ago
Alternative technologies to oil have existed for some time now but they have been suppressed for two reasons: 1: Money 2. To depopulate. The suppression of technology and peak oil is in the greater scheme of things a recipe to greatly reduce the population of the planet, this is the elite's prime directive. This plan has been in the works for several decades and is soon to come to fruition.

One viable alternative to fossil fuels is Nuclear. We have fuel for centuries, and breeders can extend our supply indefinitely. It can allow electrification of transportation and free up so many resourced and provide a cleaner environment.
There is no need to "PowerDown" and/or "Humanely and systematically reduce the population" (read "sterilize and kill").

Still, the cheaper energy is, the more money people have for consumption; with every country consuming like the US we would wreck this planet in no time. This is why the 3rd world can't be industrialized, even though it would start slowing the population bomb. It's a dilemma. The population is EXPLODING, the elites are gonna whack us out...fegitaboutit.
Psychogenius018 2 years ago
I disagree completely. The third world MUST be industrialized. It's the ONLY ethical and moral check on population growth that we have.
Energy is much more than consumption. Its about standard of living. To deny that to the third word and future generations is the REAL immorality.
PowerDowner philosophy is immoral.
tuttt99 2 years ago
I think you misunderstood me. I meant consumption in the broader sense, I meant precisely the standard of living. Cheaper energy means people have more money for more consumption and a more screwed up planet. If you industrialize the 3rd world you start to solve the population problem but you then exacerbate the fundamental problem even worse: CONSUMPTION.

The deeper connection is all of this peak oil is fake. They went into Iraq to shut down the pumps and make oil scarous, and want to go into Iran and other countries to do the same thing.

I think they went to the middle east to take control of the oil resources. Oil production is declining throughout the world, and discoveries peaked in the 1960s. We can use water to create hydrogen, but haven't solved all the problems nor have the infrastructure for it. And it doesn't solve our liquid fuel needs. (Comments based on info from Richard Heinberg, author of Powerdown).

The thing is they have solved it, Stanley Meyer did it in 1998 and at his celibration dinner died from throwing up to death.

The majority of global geologists do not see evidence for oil being renewable -in any reasonable timeframe (like the millions of years it took to create the oil we're extracting now). Earth will never run out, it'll just get too expensive to extract it at some point.
peakmoment 4 years ago
The majority of global geologists are the payrolls of oil companies who have a vested interest in the scarcity myth. Oil replenishes itself because it's not a fossil fuel... it emanates from the magma in the earth and natural geological processes. Read Thomas Gold's Deep Hot Biosphere if you're a skeptic.
loveliberty1776 4 years ago
Retired geologists like Colin Campbell and Kenneth Deffeyes and Jan Lundberg are not on the payroll, and after retirement became among the strongest voicest warning of peak oil. Even if oil replenishes itself, production is declining, and that affects industrial civilization. And, burning it contributes to global climate change. We need alternatives.
peakmoment 4 years ago
"Oil replenishes itself because it's not a fossil fuel..."
That's a completely fallacious statement. Oil is hydrocarbons ... that is, organic materials. It has nothng to do with magma in the least. In fact, if oil-bearing rock formations are brought down too close to the mantle - such as occurs in a plate subduction zone - the oil is "burned" out. This was shown by Anita Harris' study of conodont fossils.

Yes, Brian and I saw Mike Ruppert in Grass Valley at the Vets Hall '04. We just don't agree with MIT and Ivy league academia that free energy is impossible or non-existent. Like Mike, Brian, Gene, Tom, Adam and many others have risked their lives and careers to bring free energy to the world. There is an awful lot of resistance to this even amongst progressive people.

So far as I'm aware, the "free energy" experiments, which tend to defy physics as is generally agreed-upon, haven't proved practical or scaleable. I'm open, but we will need tangible, measurable results beyond the lab to determine whether it can make a difference. However, even with free energy, we are killing the planet with resource use and population. Free energy would only worsen that, in the system we now have.

That's just not true. It doesn't defy physics. Remember physics laws are not laws but 'rules of thumb' and succesful ZPE and over-unity experiments have been proven time and again as well as published in peer reviewed scientific journals. Tom Bearden, Eugene Mallove, Adam Trombly and Brian O'Leary amongst others have impressive credentials by any standard. I would seriously look into this research, don't take my word for it.

That's just not true. It is not agreed upon, being entrapped in false collective thinking is dangerous. No offense but MIT and academia mainstream are wrong. Let's not forget who pays their salaries. Brian and I feel that Mike should stop listening to the mainstream MIT 'experts' and start looking into this because we appreciate his honesty and what he's doing for humanity.

As far as impacting the planet ZPE and advanced hydrogen (Mallove's work) would help regenerate the Earth not destroy it. Some websites for everyone who is interested: brianoleary dot com, infinite-energy dot org, I don't know Trombly or Bearden but you can do a search on them and find their work.

I like Mike but his knowledge of advanced energy technology is very, very limited. He and all of you should look into the work of Eugene Mallove, Brian O'Leary, Tom Bearden, Adam Trombly, etc.

Are these the guys working on supposedly "free energy"?
peakmoment 4 years ago
Not supposedly, they are or were. I'm good friends with Brian (we both used to live in Nevada County) and we saw Ruppert talk at the Vets Hall in Grass Valley '04. It was good, we just don't agree with the mainstream academia's assertion that free energy is impossible.

I agree there are some major changes coming our way - especially Americans. But all the Doom and Gloom , End of the Empire talk is fearmongering, plain and simple. People create a sub culture and sell shit.

Empire, and its latest manifestation as capitalism and consumerism, are based on unsustainable principles (like endless economic growth). So I think the world as we know it is ending, and something else is emerging...human culture will become sustainable, either through our actions or through nature itself.

It makes me sad that this video has been viewed 7000 times and there are millions of hits on how to hack a coke machine.
I think a lot of people are going to have a rude shock, there is nothing that will wake them up until after TSHTF.
