@DGsChann Loss of oil could return food productiom to 1850s levels. Back then world pop was only 1.5 billion. If thats the general maximum that can be supported then thats bad news for billions of people. Local growing of food won't curve hunger enough.
@DGsChann yes food still grows but how much oil do you think the farming industry use tractors, combine harvester the pesticides are oil or gas based, then there is transporting the food. there is nothing an where near ready at the min that can replace oil. may be it might not get as bad as the video but if it peak an time soon we are in a hole world of shit.
@HoGraz If you world is about to be changed forever perhaps for the worse and your lives could very well be about to end, then its important to have fun.
Harison Brown's nuclear powered stone age is this. A hundred tons of granite rock can produce: 1. 8 tons of aluminum. 2. 5 tons of iron. 3. 1,200 pounds of titanium. 4. 180 pounds of manganese. 5. 70 pounds of chromium. 6. 40 pounds of nickel. 7. 30 pounds of vanadium. 8. 20 pounds of copper. 9. 10 pounds of tungsten. 10. 4 pounds of lead. 11. 2.64 pounds of thorium (1,200 grams or 1.2 kilograms). 12. .88 pounds of uranium (400 grams or .4 kilogram).
Haven't you Amerikansky heard of our Russian abiotic oil and gas wells? Our self-cleaning BREST nuclear reactors that can be modified into breeders to power more BREST NPP that indefinitely recycles nuclear fuels and consumes it's nuclear wastes? Our Russian Elga deposits w/c has hundreds of seams & 1 seam can last over 100 yrs of intensive mining into synthetic oil and petrochemicals? Harrison Brown's new nuclear powered stone age? Terra pretra wt rock powder remineralization mechanized farms?
my problem is...why should we rush to find alternatives? It's clear that the real source of the problem is our ridiculous consumption which is a result of our ridiculous population level which is putting a huge strain on the biosphere and which can only be artificially placated by altering more of nature with un-natural consequences/ creating a more artificial environment. To what end? All in pursuit of this Myth of "Progress"
@gracer99 It just means that humanity is less likely to go back to the really shitty life and wars which dominated the 16th and 17th centuries and the associated extreme poverty and colonial era imperialism. The harder the crash the more we are likely to lose and that "progress" cost us a lot but prevented us from losing much, much more. I myself would like to soften the blow a little, if we can still have the internet then the post-po world will still have a hope for a degree of peace and unity
This guy deserves an oscar! The governments will only begin to act WHEN IT IS ALREADY TOO LATE! Greed has already killed my grandchildren and yours too. Not long now and reality will hit the idiot deniers. The oil has almost gone.............
This guy deserves an oscar! The governments will only begin to act WHEN IT IS ALREADY TOO LATE! Greed has already killed my grandchildren and yours too. Not long now and reality will hit the idiot denyers. The oil has almost gone.............
So...what will happen with all the coal, nuclear power, hydroelectric when oil is not a commodity? There are working geo-thermal stations and people who use wood for fire? Will all the engineers and scientist on Earth not be employed by industry? Agriculture would increase in price; and biofuels can be scaled. When the price goes up comptietion isn't just who has the most weapons... but who has the most innovation. The risk/reward changes for developing infrastructure. and oil was just a market
The oilprice in the netherlands and west europe is higher, much much higher then the oil/gas/petrol prizes in america,.. america is even very cheap in comparison, and i wouldn't even care if the price would get off the scales and be like 10000% of what they are now, because maybe that will pressure people to support hybrid and bio-fuels, and create energy with solarpanels (a lot of houses in my street have those on the roof already), me, i always go with transit, walking, skating or the bike...
I am intigued by the idea of abiotic oil. Many scientists in Russia and China have espoused abiotic oil. Abiotic oil explains things as well as "peak" or "dinosaur" oil IMHO. I can unserstand why dino oil is theorized given the biological traces in crude oil, but it has been proposed that the organic markers in crude could come from bacteria in the crust of the earth. Previously tapped out wells HAVE come back into production.
There's no such thing as peak oil. Believing that oil comes only from Dinosaur bones is retarded and ignorant. Oil reserves fill back up all the time, not all but they do it. Non organic oil is a fact and you need to understand that any oil shortage will be orchestrated not an outcome of using it all, that's completely preposterous. Geez, there's only 7 billion people on the planet, you're not going o tell me know that there's too many people?
"Everything in your life depends on oil" if you don't think that is true then try the pen test. Everytime you use something that is made or has oil methods to produce it then draw a tally mark on your hand, see how many you get by lunchtime.............................
It's already the "dark ages", where we're working the 40-hour workweek lie to line the pockets of the corporations and governments and fund their wars and land/resource-grabs and rapes.
Go-o-o-o permaculture! :)
@ RussianBarbarian:
Agreed, except for the starving part. (I overeat anyway.) Our world is just around the corner. Let's help make it happen.
A life without oil sounds really romantic. Finally we'll get to walk around in rags again, watch the stars and cling to each other in front of the fire to forget the feeling of hunger, surviving day to day without stressing over succeeding in life. I'm looking forward to it.
“A severe energy crunch is inevitable without a massive expansion of production... Such an economic slowdown would exacerbate other unresolved tensions, push fragile and failing states further down the path toward collapse. At best, it would lead to periods of harsh economic adjustment...By 2012, surplus oil production capacity could entirely disappear, and as early as 2015, the shortfall in output could reach nearly 10M bbl/day.
@dieudutonnerre Ahem, when was the last time the USA invaded a neighbor? As opposed to the last time Russia invaded a neighbor? The very idea that the USA is a Russia/China-like state that invades it's neighbors for resources is "programming" based on the villification of the USA by globalist media. The fact that it came out in your post is more about making you aware that it's been planted in your brain without your consent than any sort of personal indictment of your comment.Funny video BTW ;)
@dieudutonnerre WTF? You have Russia about to militarily seize all of your Arctic oil reserves today and you are worried about the USA invading you for water? You sure did fall for the programming didn't you,lol
The scare-mongers are never going to stop. A look at the real world will show that thedemand for oil is reducing. A look at futures contracts and oil prices in general indicate that the last days of oil are a long, long way away.
With the market downturn and failure of the world economy to realise it’s
growth expectations we can certainly see that oil rig jobs are being shed as well.
It would be foolish to go back to the old ways. Technology brought us a lot of good stuff and we cannot simply go back. Instead, we need to think forward and improve alternative energy technologies (geothermal is most promising) but more importantly, stop the governments, corporations or patent offices suppressing potentially revolutionary new technologies (think Nikola Tesla and J.P Morgan).
@WSWarthog Well if it's your thing to to back into caves, that's fine with me. But as this is comment on Internet something tells me you're not about to do that :) And there are a lot of technologies out there that are way better than oil (ever heard of John Bedini or Tom Bearden's work?)
it takes too much energy to build and maintain renewable energy systems...I have a solar powered home and know that its only a temporary fix for now....My "Preparing for Peak Oil" film on youtube depicts what we can all do...
@MrEnergyCzar Building them yes, but maintenance, no.
We don't use oil directly for energy anymore, not that much anyway. The biggest consumers of oil right now are the 800 million cars on this planet, and the thousands of cargo ships that consume 150-350 tons of fuel per day each. After that comes industry and agriculture. But windmill and solar panel maintenance doesn't use up that much oil.
I really don't like the attitude that this video puts across. Instead of laughing at these people that who are going to be suffering without the skills needed to survive, why doesn't he try to teach someone these skills. After gridcrash, we're going to need community, friends, family and support and no amount of skill learning and book reading is going to magically provide that. I don't want to be lonely at the end of the world; but that's just me.
I tend to agree with you. This seems to be about being angry and wanting to be right instead of about actual survival. The reason people don't like things like PETA is because they are always lecturing without substance. This video reduces survivalists to the same thing. I'm right, your wrong and then the tongue get stuck out. I don't like the fact it reduces survivalists to childish 'told you so' rants just like the liberals. We're better than that. Teach, don't lecture.
This is video is survivalist nonsense. President Obama's ready for the peak oil slide. His experts have plans for space-based solar collectors, wind and hydro power, clean coal, fission and fusion reactors, and conservation. There won't be any breakdown of society, just an orderly reformation.
Good luck with your space-based solar collectors. Is that from the same people who brought us the Star wars missle Defense shield? That worked out well.
But seriously. Hope for the best and prepare for the worse.
I gave you a green Thumbs up to negate the red thumbs down someone else gave you. I don't know why people do that.
lmfao! okay, we'll see papa. I'm sure hoping that what you're saying is true and not political rhetoric meant to keep you in an "orderly" fashion. Going on about with your job, paying taxes and consuming some more mindless bullshit all the while yu you do nothing, learn nothing and expect that when the shit hits the fan your "government" the ppl that lie to you about WMD's and terrorist trying to take over the world is going to save you instead of saving themselves....
Space based solar collectors? Are you fucking high? Do you have any idea how much energy it would take to maintain something like that? Wind is a joke and there are only so many rivers you can damn before the effects on the environment become detrimental to us. As for fission & fusion, there doesn't exist as of yet a single workable fusion reactor and there's only enough uranium to postpone the collapse or to soften it but not enough to prevent it entirely. Obama is not magic.
I would also like to know the sources that state Obama says there's enough alternative energy to provide the majority of the US energy needs so I can check it out for myself.
@TheForwardGaze lol it's 2010, we're still getting energy from the same sources as in the 1970's : coal, oil and gas, nuclear, hidroelectric.these 4 make over 90% of our energy.
wind, solar and wave power dont give as much energy the main 4. and they require a lot of energy to make and maintain.plus you gotta manufacture the silicon and steel..using oil.
fission and fussion reactors???wtf.you have to first invent cold fusion.then it will take decades to make a lot.
He's right about peak oil, which is probably going to come around 2014, but he's implementing the wrong approach. Just watch "I Am Legend." He'll never make it on his own.
You need a small community, each with a different skill. And people to interact with.
Try pulling a robert Neville, sleeping with your shotgun in your lap every night. You'll lose your mind.
It's so sad how so many have just "given up" and are obviously in it for themselves. I hope the future isn't as bleak as this character predicts. It's up to the people to decide. Either give up...or prosper.
I'm grateful to Post Peak Oil man for having saved up so much booty so me and my gang of thugs can come and steal it from him when the time comes; unless he has a gang of thugs to protect him that is.
There's one of three possibilities for the outcome of the waning end of the petroleum curve ... 1 - we keep doing what we're doing, and as the supply of petroleum dwindles and the international demand rises, we start having resource wars over the last reserves until there's nothing left to fight over ... 2 - we find an alternative that's worse than oil, such as undersea frozen methane clathrates and start burning those, leading to accelerated global warming ... (more,)
3 - we invest *heavily* in renewable energies and migrate away from fossil fuels ... regardless of the choice, some sacrifices are bound to be made ...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
That is not likely to happen in the next ten years. I mean, that probably will happen if we don't start to use alternative fuels in the near future but at least not for the next 50 years or so.
Will the threat against those that have stores of food be from the government or the 60% of the population that are obese or overweight? Start now by stocking up on knowledge of how to survive, that at least can't be taken.
well all i can say is that you better be prepared something is going down and soon you can smell it in the air, just turn on you tv and watch the news even the lies and propaganda can't hide the fact that its going down and soon best be lite and fast carry simple weapons bolt action hunting rifle in a common calibre or a single shot 410 to hunt with and go to the woods away from ppl at least you'll be alive and i would rather die of starvation than get shot in the back of the head by some thug.
That is OKRA. Its like a green bean but thicker and longer.They grow anywhere and are very southern. You can fry them, boil them(they have a slimy taste if you boil) or eat them with a salad. They are an aquired taste. But it you are straving I assure you them will taste wonderful.
I heard the Bilderbergers or someone say 6bil people is way too much, and if the supply of energy continues then the population will soon balloon to 10bill, so they will cut energy from us or something
Look how fast our U.S. economy took a turn for the worst. An oil shortage crisis can be averted, with planning and preparation. Align your careers and votes toward sustainable design.
The problem with this guy is that those who have, when this happens will not be safe. don't think that they will not be robbed, even killed for the resources they have grown. If they are on their own they haven't a hope in hell, that they will be able to protect their fields of "corn and zukini". Others in deperation will kill them for what they have.
There will be oil left. Just not any for us. What do you think the NWO is about? Think they're just going to let the peasants have the last of the good stuff? Naw. U can't be the richest man in the county, because they control the money, U might have the most stuff, but with that comes a price. U have to defend it. Can you stay awake 24 hours at a time? You want to save humanity, you better do away with currency and start learning a new barter system in your communities. Back it up with Force.
@fireplace911 The huge difference here is a 1960 threat of nuclear war and 2010 threat of economic failure. Take a look at the unprecedented since WWII unemployment, banks failing, foreclosures, and the like. Look at the average person's living standard in 1960 versus 2010. I mean real buying power, not huge suburban homes, suvs, and electronic junk bought on credit.

we dont need oil to live, we just use oil so people can get rich. i mean we got cars which can run on just water or SE. and nuclear energy could power houses must better than oil ever can
You do know the computer you are on is made from 17 types of plastics made from oil, and unless you are on a laptop,on a solar panel or windmill a Coal fired plant provides power. (Windmills and Solar panels are made with oil products too)
**we got cars which can run on just water**
You willing to pay $45 a gallon of water when it becomes a commodity to run a car over drinking?
Pay $5 a cup of water from the black market that may have contaminants in it?
I agree about the rich part, but you need oil to even make simple things. All most all machines run on oil. Batteries, pesticides, ect ...all oil based. It's everything. Maybe the oil does renew it's self, and the knowledge has been hoarded. Maybe, it's has a function for the earth other than just energy. Maybe, that's why they control us and knowledge seems to get lost and regained again. Maybe the illuminati, control us to prepare for and live thru the cycles.
We had better convert over to an electric economy.
The only Bio-fuel that isn't energy negative is sugar cane and you cant grow that outside of the tropics.
Most of the alternative energy sources are only good for making electricity. Train systems can deal with electricity but tractors are another matter and without tractors farming isn't going to be very efficient.
**Most of the alternative energy sources are only good for making electricity**
Nopt to mention you need oil and coal to build them first like how the Carbon Fiber used to make those huge Windmills is made from oil,as is the binding agent,the resins,the paint, the lube,the synthetic rubber parts,and plastic parts.
Not does Oil only make gas that runs machines on Farms but they make the fertilizer and pesticides.
Medical wise Oil is made into Asprin,anti-cancer drugs,antibiotics.
yea i get you the world is geared up to using oil, but thats only so big companies can make money. For example nuclear power plants produce more power with no polution. AND they have cars which run on water but people dont wont to drive them because there like 20mph slower.
**yea i get you the world is geared up to using oil, but thats only so big companies can make money**
Really?
Oil nations like Saudi Arabia sell oil at about a Nickel a Gallon & "Big Oil" only makes 10cents a gallon off oil
The Feds tax Oil as a Import,tax gasoline made from oil,taxes jet fuel made from oil,taxes Diesel made from oil,taxes natural gas made from oil,taxes volatiles made from oil,taxes products like fertilizer and pesticides made from oil,taxes medicine made from oil
And to clarify theUS federal Governmenr makes 130 million dollars a day in jus gasoline taxes and matches "Big Oil's" 12 billion a quarter in just gasoline taxes, add all the other taxes on all other products made from oil and this is why they can waste 10 billion a month on a useless occupation and vote themselves a raise every year and spend 500 billion dollars on $500 toilet seatsa and $50 ashtrays
Oil is $44 a barrel and falling.. they can't give it away! Peak Oil is a massive conspiracy created by internet scaremongerers and the oil producing nations themselves - it's the Cuba Missile Crisis of the 2000's.. I'm bored of it all now and waiting for something more exciting we're all going to die of. SARS was going to end life as we know it.. and now it's ancient history!
If you stock up a bunch of stuff and peak oil hits hard, and society blows apart - you will experience many things "peaking". For example your salt ration will start out full and then peak. Your sugar ration will start out full and then peak.
I wouldn't say you will to be honest. If you were foraging for food in an area then you would experience a "peaking" effect as you drained game and foodstuffs from the land. Then you'd need to move on as diminishing returns set in. I guess this is what hunter gatherers experienced in the past.
But stocks of stuff I don't think you will have a peak with, at least not a noticeable one, since not much energy is required to find your stocks and extract them since they're all in cans and r together.
I received an investment newsletter today, it deals mainly with energy investments. It said, Ghawar Oil Field, the largest in the world, at current production rates, will be 100% dry in 871 days. Now, oil fields dont get completely dry so you can expect it to stop producing in, maybe 600 days.
Then the smaller fields will deplete at a much more rapid pace.
I am not a doomsdayer, but i believe governments do not want people to know the possible difficulties waiting the world.
I just heard of the PeakOil concept Sat.morning, its Sun.night & I've been freaked out & pacing back & forth all weekend. When I got the concept, it felt like nothing mattered anymore. I feel like Neo n "The Matrix" when he knows the truth. Or Sarah Connor n "The Terminator2". I see everyone around me going on with their lives with the dream of a bright future. Everthing seems trivial & pointless. I work n the oil industry & I feel ashamed 2 b apart of the prob. But n this society, everyone is.
Welcome to the madness. Once you start learning about peak oil life is vever the same again. You may even find you become depressed - many people do. I did after I started studying it a few years ago. The best thing to do is something - anything - to prepare. For me it has been learning to grow my own fod and getting totally out of debt. The sooner you can do these 2 things the better. It will be struggle but this is all we can really do to prepare - there is very little time left so start NOW.
I have been depressed. I am not depressed anymore.
I am frustrated now, because I know how much work is ahead of me. I have done alot of preparations, but it seems that nothing is enough. There are so many variables. From tooth brushes to tooth paste.
This video made me think deeper then almost any video on you tube.....the only thing is, that dark age is a long time away....its gonna be a long time before america runs out of oil, and another thing is alot of people are working on alternative power sources...but then again this video was posted in 2006...
jay, it may not be as far off as you think. The world reach Peak in 05. We are like a dead man standing, we just don't know we are dead and fail to topple over. I'm in no big rush for it to happen, but unless they find some big Saudi size oil field we are screwed.
in 2013 Mexico cant export to the US, meaning your missing 15% imports, and there is nothing about to replace the supply loss unless the US goes to war with a few weaker states in africa before some other nation does, at around the same time the UK North sea brent will officially have peaked too.... make an educated guess when we'll see the 1st Petrol & heating oil rations
so your gonna run your car on coal are you`? .... lol don't make me laugh ... china has blackouts already they are putting 1 power-plant on the grid every 2 weeks. The US will be at was within the next 2 yeas somewhere in Africa ... NIGERIA and then tell all sheep that we have Globally peaked as soon as china starts intervention, say no to WW3 and wake up buddy
dream on do some maths and homework yourself and then wake up! Hydrogen is only an energy carrier, seen any hydrogen generators or motors for sale anywhere? planes running on hydrogen, plans for a hydrogen fuel-nets? ... Germans spoke of winning WW2 with the V2 rocket ... hope is always the last thing that dies
if your only thinking in your time scale of life .... yes your right, but if your thinking of humanity! once our dead and gone .... your just simply part of the problem and one of the idiots of the past. You are still burning "Hydrocarbons" ..... either way ... the solution is not to burn hydrocarbons for energy not switching to a different form ... , because you'll end up with the same problem sooner or later
well, we have to stop doing what we are doing and pretty fast, because if we only have 30 years to use the same of what we're using today without using more, then we will need all that energy to create regenerative and clean power-stations, we will still be short of energy so we all would have to cut energy use by at least 70% ..... omg yes wow... thats the only way to have enough time for about 5 Billion humans, but we're about 9 Billion+ by that time...fuck knows
all i can say to that comment runkablle is keep dreaming,yes its true you can make a synthetic fuel from not only coal,but also other things,that's not the point the point is that the US of automobiles consume nearly NINE BILLION GALLONS of gasoline every year,
if you believe by any stretch of the imagination that you can produce that amount of fuel from coal you are the truly ignorant one.
net energy its going to cost more to produce synthetic fuel from coal then you can from selling it,it sounds to me like you need more facts,about,fossil fuels and what they can and can't do for instance did you know that coal is 1\6 the energy out put of crude oil.
did you know that one barrel of light sweet crude oil (42gallons) produces the same amount of energy as a man doing twenty five thousand hours of heavy manual labor,oil is a miracle substance that we have pissed away.
yes it could as much as 3/4 depending on the grade of coal you use,because just like with crude oil you have the good stuff and the junk.here is the main problem with the electric car although it is superior to gas powered vehicles,it will kill all the jobs related to cars with internal combustion engine that's why it was taken off the market in the first place its virtually maintenance free,no need for mechanics or replacement parts.
the key to understanding why WHY MODERN INDUSTRIAL CIVILIZATION is dead,is becoming knowledgeable,about OIL once you understand what it is, why it is, what rule it plays in our lives,and what our live would be like without it,i believe all those who think there is any combination of alternative energy sources out there that will allow us to maintain the the quality of life we currently enjoy ,as well as the current world population,will see that THE END is here.we have to wake up and see it.
My Father is in Missouri, and he's doing everything that video said and more. In just four years he's managed to take his house off the power grid, and quit his job with his wife and live on the land. The only money he has to spend is for stocking up. Using Solar Power, creating a farm. He's got a solar powered water heater now. As he says, He's getting prepared. Pretty crazy what could happen if this video is truly right.
It really depends. The Electric companies will actually install it and pay you to use solar. It hooks up to the grid. They will pay you for extra power. Also, you can make home made solar panels like my father has.
good for your dad, he's one less burden on the system when it starts to falter, unlike the sheep down south right complaining they had to wait for buses or didnt get a biscuit with their Salisbury steak....so good on him, we need more folks to wake up and stop being leaches!
well, shit...i just came across a video wherein the researcher claims that algae oil currently costs $1,600.00 to produce! Shite...not very feasible yet... this guy may be right all over again...
"Survivalists" always seem to forget that survival means more than just the survival of their body. If you only survive for yourself you have nothing to survive for. Sitting in the dark by yourself eating survival rations. Thats fun.
Also, oil is by far not the only energy source so I dont think we will "go back 200 years". I think it will be a gradual decline and we can survive the change. We are already seeing the changes. We are starting to get off oil. Electric cars. Solar. Wind. etc.

@gracer99 It just means that humanity is less likely to go back to the really shitty life and wars which dominated the 16th and 17th centuries and the associated extreme poverty and colonial era imperialism. The harder the crash the more we are likely to lose and that "progress" cost us a lot but prevented us from losing much, much more.

So...what will happen with all the coal, nuclear power, hydroelectric when oil is not a commodity? There are working geo-thermal stations and people who use wood for fire? Will all the engineers and scientist on Earth not be employed by industry? Agriculture would increase in price; and biofuels can be scaled. When the price goes up comptietion isn't just who has the most weapons... but who has the most innovation. The risk/reward changes for developing infrastructure. and oil was just a market
granddad2002 9 months ago
The oilprice in the netherlands and west europe is higher, much much higher then the oil/gas/petrol prizes in america,.. america is even very cheap in comparison, and i wouldn't even care if the price would get off the scales and be like 10000% of what they are now, because maybe that will pressure people to support hybrid and bio-fuels, and create energy with solarpanels (a lot of houses in my street have those on the roof already), me, i always go with transit, walking, skating or the bike...

I am intigued by the idea of abiotic oil. Many scientists in Russia and China have espoused abiotic oil. Abiotic oil explains things as well as "peak" or "dinosaur" oil IMHO. I can unserstand why dino oil is theorized given the biological traces in crude oil, but it has been proposed that the organic markers in crude could come from bacteria in the crust of the earth. Previously tapped out wells HAVE come back into production.
JohnnyTPaul 10 months ago
There's no such thing as peak oil. Believing that oil comes only from Dinosaur bones is retarded and ignorant. Oil reserves fill back up all the time, not all but they do it. Non organic oil is a fact and you need to understand that any oil shortage will be orchestrated not an outcome of using it all, that's completely preposterous. Geez, there's only 7 billion people on the planet, you're not going o tell me know that there's too many people?

Pentagon: Joint Operations Environment Report 2010
“A severe energy crunch is inevitable without a massive expansion of production... Such an economic slowdown would exacerbate other unresolved tensions, push fragile and failing states further down the path toward collapse. At best, it would lead to periods of harsh economic adjustment...By 2012, surplus oil production capacity could entirely disappear, and as early as 2015, the shortfall in output could reach nearly 10M bbl/day.

The scare-mongers are never going to stop. A look at the real world will show that thedemand for oil is reducing. A look at futures contracts and oil prices in general indicate that the last days of oil are a long, long way away.
With the market downturn and failure of the world economy to realise it’s
growth expectations we can certainly see that oil rig jobs are being shed as well.

It would be foolish to go back to the old ways. Technology brought us a lot of good stuff and we cannot simply go back.

@MrEnergyCzar Building them yes, but maintenance, no.
We don't use oil directly for energy anymore, not that much anyway. The biggest consumers of oil right now are the 800 million cars on this planet, and the thousands of cargo ships that consume 150-350 tons of fuel per day each. After that comes industry and agriculture. But windmill and solar panel maintenance doesn't use up that much oil.

I wouldn't say you will to be honest. If you were foraging for food in an area then you would experience a "peaking" effect as you drained game and foodstuffs from the land. Then you'd need to move on as diminishing returns set in. I guess this is what hunter gatherers experienced in the past.
But stocks of stuff I don't think you will have a peak with, at least not a noticeable one, since not much energy is required to find your stocks and extract them since they're all in cans and r together.

Then the smaller fields will deplete at a much more rapid pace.

Welcome to the madness. Once you start learning about peak oil life is vever the same again. You may even find you become depressed - many people do.

Hydrogen is only an energy carrier, seen any hydrogen generators or motors for sale anywhere? planes running on hydrogen, plans for a hydrogen fuel-nets? ... Germans spoke of winning WW2 with the V2 rocket ... hope is always the last thing that dies

Don´t you know how to read??
"Coal can make electricity and electricity can power a hydrogen-car or a electric one."
You can use coal to make hydrogen, what was it that you didn´t understand???
The US could easily cut it´s oil dependency in half, if politicians and people wasn´t so fucking stupid.

if your only thinking in your time scale of life .... yes your right, but if your thinking of humanity! once our dead and gone .... your just simply part of the problem and one of the idiots of the past. You are still burning "Hydrocarbons" ..... either way ... the solution is not to burn hydrocarbons for energy not switching to a different form ... , because you'll end up with the same problem sooner or later

What ells can we do???
runkaballe 3 years ago
well, we have to stop doing what we are doing and pretty fast, because if we only have 30 years to use the same of what we're using today without using more, then we will need all that energy to create regenerative and clean power-stations, we will still be short of energy so we all would have to cut energy use by at least 70% ..... omg yes wow... thats the only way to have enough time for about 5 Billion humans, but we're about 9 Billion+ by that time...fuck knows

all i can say to that comment runkablle is keep dreaming,yes its true you can make a synthetic fuel from not only coal,but also other things,that's not the point the point is that the US of automobiles consume nearly NINE BILLION GALLONS of gasoline every year,
if you believe by any stretch of the imagination that you can produce that amount of fuel from coal you are the truly ignorant one.

Any car that need more then 0.3"liter"/10km has to pay a penelty tax on 100000 dollars a year.
Increase the driving age to the age of drinking beer.
Tax cuts for carpooling, get rid of parking spaces in cities so people use a bike or a buss.
Make it cheaper to go by train and bus then driving.
Again the coal reserve in the US is big enough to power the US for 50-60 years.

net energy its going to cost more to produce synthetic fuel from coal then you can from selling it,it sounds to me like you need more facts,about,fossil fuels and what they can and can't do for instance did you know that coal is 1\6 the energy out put of crude oil.
did you know that one barrel of light sweet crude oil (42gallons) produces the same amount of energy as a man doing twenty five thousand hours of heavy manual labor,oil is a miracle substance that we have pissed away.
OUTOFGAS88 3 years ago
I´m no expert on price of coal but generally it´s a lot lower then for gasoline.
To refine crude oil to gasoline also cost energy.
1/6 energy out put, were in hell did you get those numbers? coals energy value is about 30MJ/kg and gasoline is about 44MJ/kg, so it´s more like 3/4.
The internal combustion engine is a terrible invention with an efficiency of 25-30% probably even lower if you drive in a city.
Compared to an electric motor that easily have a efficiency over 90%
runkaballe 3 years ago
yes it could as much as 3/4 depending on the grade of coal you use,because just like with crude oil you have the good stuff and the junk.here is the main problem with the electric car although it is superior to gas powered vehicles,it will kill all the jobs related to cars with internal combustion engine that's why it was taken off the market in the first place its virtually maintenance free,no need for mechanics or replacement parts.

Lost jobs is nothing compared to what will happened in a few years when Ford GM falls down in a hole.
I wouldn´t worry new technology always have issues and the lifespan of batteries is just a few years.

Typical sheep response. Taxes and government meddling solves everything, right?

Without cheap and abundant oil we won't even be able to get the coal out of the ground. It won't do us any good.

the key to understanding why WHY MODERN INDUSTRIAL CIVILIZATION is dead,is becoming knowledgeable,about OIL once you understand what it is, why it is, what rule it plays in our lives,and what our live would be like without it,i believe all those who think there is any combination of alternative energy sources out there that will allow us to maintain the the quality of life we currently enjoy ,as well as the current world population,will see that THE END is here.we have to wake up and see it.

My Father is in Missouri, and he's doing everything that video said and more. In just four years he's managed to take his house off the power grid, and quit his job with his wife and live on the land. The only money he has to spend is for stocking up. Using Solar Power, creating a farm. He's got a solar powered water heater now. As he says, He's getting prepared. Pretty crazy what could happen if this video is truly right.

it cost alot of money to use solar power doesnt it...
jay4457 3 years ago
It really depends. The Electric companies will actually install it and pay you to use solar. It hooks up to the grid. They will pay you for extra power. Also, you can make home made solar panels like my father has.

good for your dad, he's one less burden on the system when it starts to falter, unlike the sheep down south right complaining they had to wait for buses or didnt get a biscuit with their Salisbury steak....so good on him, we need more folks to wake up and stop being leaches!

Nuclear power in France. Solar in Germany. Ethanol in Brazil. Electric cars coming on the market in the US and around the world soon.

those are not perfect fixes...there just derivatives of oil. You need oil to produce those things!
You also need oild to transport it to other places. Besides most of your food travels 1000's of miles just to your plate.

"Survivalists" always seem to forget that survival means more than just the survival of their body. If you only survive for yourself you have nothing to survive for. Sitting in the dark by yourself eating survival rations. Thats fun.
Also, oil is by far not the only energy source so I dont think we will "go back 200 years". I think it will be a gradual decline and we can survive the change. We are already seeing the changes. We are starting to get off oil. Electric cars. Solar. Wind. etc.

peak oil could have already happened or it could happen soon, the economic slowdown that is linked to high oil prices is evident where I am.
