  • Free energy has been here for a while ,But the big oil corporations don't want that technology revealed,Go to LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM and get the blueprints for a genuine magnet motor ,Big change is comming soon!

  • @intermitrj

    Shyster.

  • we all need to live like Heinberg does on his quarter acre in CA with an edible garden and walkable community.... the problem is we can't...

  • Don't use peak oil as an excuse for bullshit renewable energy that doesn't work

  • this guy grossman is funny lol

  • The party's over is one of the top peak oil books around....

  • May Allah bless all to respond to the challenges collectively through adoption of carbon neutral measures for transforming leisure, consumption and production patterns. Centre for Ecological Audit ,Social Inclusion and Governance is seekin multiplication of carbon-neutral discussions across the cities across the world for minimising the emission of green house gases. We can do this through adopting prayer 5 times a day.

  • Neither Allah or the multiplication of carbon-neutral discussions is going to pull us out of this one.

  • We could label everything "energy carrier" by your definition of gasoline. I am an energy carrier. Guinea pig shit. A noise. A hydrogen economy sounds just as crackpot as cold fusion sounds just as crackpot as harnessing every conceivable sound in the universe and using it to power our automobiles. I'm sure it's possible, but I highly doubt it will happen.

  • "Hydrogen (H) is not an energy source, there are no H reserves sitting around beneath the the soil, beneath the rocks that we can tap into the way we tapped into oil. H has to be made, yes it's often said that H is the most abundant element in the universe. True enough, tons of H on the Sun, there's tons of H in the methane on Jupiter. Where H is most abundant interestingly enough is in fossil fuels. There's more H in a gallon of gasoline than in a gallon of of liquid hydrogen!" -R.Heinberg

  • Were running out of oil. Were running out of natural gas. Were running out of corn. Were running out of food and water. Liars. It is price manipulation. The only thing that is running out is money in the middle class thanks to the greedy assholes.

  • only capitalist pig nations will truly collapse, some place still use little if none.

  • At least we had fun! :)

  • umm not! who the fuck cant figure out why? lol gimme a break i knew why when i was 14 years old

  • I've heard hydrogen gas is difficult to contain, cause it diffuses through almost anything. There should be something like a hidroaccumulation plant, were wind power surplus raises the water to a tank, from which water is again released down the turbines when energy is becoming scarce. The problem of course would be the price of such miniplant

  • too bad cold fusion has been suppressed

  • Please, look at You Tube to "The Air Car" It is an revolution. Made in France. A little bit of energy for thousend miles.

  • i work in koc "kuwait oil company" and as far as i know we didn't get 1\3 of the oil in the bigest oil field in middel east "burgan" the same thing in saude arabia so the problem is not with the oil but it's the path of all the country will get to have anothere source of energe becouse the bbl keep increse into 200usd/bbl today it's 129

    so it's a problem for oil country :(

  • kjg6277 you are an idiot,actually you are an ignorant idiot,you are the type of guy that watches corporate owned news and accepts whatever your government tells you,a lemming,sheeple whatever, your an idiot,i urge anyone with an i.q. above 100 and can still think clearly and independantly to research 9/11 for yourselves and to be brave enough to withstand any critisism you will recieve from dopes like this guy,peak oil is real oil is 135 a barrel this vid was made when it was 55 then a record!

  • were in peak oil people, like it or not.

  • Damn that interviewer was horrible. This whole thing was amateur as shit. What that guy said makes sense though but like others said, he might be a bit too gloom-and-doom and we're all going to die like in a few weeks type thing.

  • So when does the shit hit the fan?

  • Heinburg is a nutcase - in a group of mentally disturbed paranoids. The group that thinks the USA intentionally imploded the twin towers as an excuse to start the oil war. I believe in peak oil, but I believe these guys are nothing but extreme doom and gloomers. They have nothing better to do except predict that mankinds doom is right around the corner. Being associated with the Charlie Sheen camp strips Heinberg of all credibility. Yes, the USA intentionally killed 3000 Americans! ROTFLMAO!

  • Theyre Jews. Anything is possible.

  • Peak Oil explains the behavior of the Bush regime and the US empire -- why they stole the 2000 election, allowed (and assisted) 9/11, enacted the Patriot Act, created Homeland Security and invaded the Middle East oil fields.

  • They also have built several hundred FEMA detainment camps which I believe are there in case our society begins to crumble into ruins and people beging to riot and crime shoots up. Dems or Repubs, it doesn't matter, our government is not going to fuck around. If you pose a threat or you are not pulling your weight, or if you are a trouble maker, you will be taken in the night. Everything that is happening, and has happened, is becoming so much clearer now because of this peak oil problem.

  • Perhaps the forces that menace freedom are too strong to be resisted for very long. It is still our duty to do whatever we can to resist them.

    -- Aldous Huxley

  • $55 a barrel! Makes me want to cry.

    Oil refineries under attack in Nigeria, $120 a barrel, and demand skyrocketing. We're in it now, folks.

    Let's just hope we can innovate our way out of this - solar, wind, whatever. We also need to start growing food right where we are. We don't have time to f--k around.

  • It's not a scam. It's logical common sense. Mass needs to come from somewhere and if its from deep in the ground then it is FINITE. Oil takes millions of years to be produced.

    Dig out the new oilfields, the problem won't go away, it will just be postponed *rolls eyes*

  • peak oil doomsday-ism IS a scam! remember the oil crisis of the 70's! there was no actual shortage, it was a minor shift in oil resource control hyped into a crisis by the oil companies to justify raising the price and overthrow usa price control measures. they bilked the public out of billions with this manufactured "energy crisis." do your homework and you'll find that non-conventional oil can be produced for $30-50 a barrell, and there's enough in the USA alone to last 100's of years.

  • Wrong jackass. The oil crisis of the 70s was engineered by the oil producing countries in the middle east.

    Regardless, as oil is a finite resource, peak oil isn't a scam because whether it takes place 10 years from now or 50 years, it will run out because it is finite.

    It's not rocket science, but you probably went to public school so I'll cut you some slack.

  • hello! we have a private school elitist in our midst! well i'm so sorry for having working class parents that were forced to send me to (gasp) public school, i guess i should just bow down and worship you for your million dollar education that did nothing but turn you into an arrogant asshole.

    and btw, i don't deny the existence of peak oil, all i'm saying is that rich pieces of shit like you are capitalizing on the panic.

    and you're wrong about the crisis originating in the middle east.

  • You did deny peak oil as a scam perpetrated upon the American people and somehow managed to pull a price point of $30-$50 out of your arse for non-conventional oil, without elaborating on this mythical substance. Of course, if you're referring to coal liquidification, then you're not an environmentalist.

  • Mythical substance? HA! Have you done any serious research on the matter or are you just turning on your steam iron of a mouth for lack of something better to do? You probably assume I'm talking out my ass because that's all you ever talk out of. And when the fuck did I ever say I was an environmentalist? You really are dumber than a double decker outhouse and about three times as revolting. Fuck off.

    I look forward to your yawn-inducing response a month from now.

  • Haha, just thought of another way you're completely full of shit. You obviously know next to nothing about coal liquefecation, because fuel made from coal is much, much cleaner than conventional gasoline or diesel. If peak oil were real there would be a mad dash to build FT coal fuel plants, as we have enough coal in the USA alone to replace petroleum for 300 years worldwide. Strangely, all that coal underneath the deserts of montana just sits there. Proven, cheap, ignored. Conspiracy? Nah.

  • I can't speak as to coal liquefecation as I am afraid I'm unfamiliar with that term. Wait, did you mean to say liquefaction?

    The only source you could produce that would agree that coal liquefaction to be "clean" is from the coal industry. All of the possible liquid fuel production methods for coal release CO2 in the conversion process, far more than is released in the extraction and refinement of liquid fuel production from petroleum.

    Thank you, jwallbanger, Drive through.

  • Yeah and where do you get your info? The Sierra Club? Coal fuel is much higher in CO2, but CO2 is a "greenhouse gas" not a pollutant. So go ahead and spew some Al Gore bullshit quotes and ignore that coal fuel is much much lower in real pollution, as in, cancer causing, people killing pollution, not your phony baloney global warming pollution, and that's a fucking fact jackass.

  • Yes, yes. The USA is to coal as the ME is to oil. What you don't seem to be able to comprehend is the environmental impact that our continued use of coal will have. Probably because you are a Republican.

    It's simply not true that US oil companies caused the 70s oil crisis. They may have profited from it, prolonged it, but they were not the cause of it.

  • You don't seem to understand, and I doubt you'll ever try, because you're better than everyone else and not afraid to say it.

    The technology is not "burning coal" making pea soup fogs everywhere, it's cutting edge chemistry that turns a hydrocarbon rock into a crystal clear, very clean burning fuel. But go ahead and get yourself a good mule instead if you really think we're talking about using coal like we did a hundred years ago. me and the rest of the rational world will drive by and laugh.

  • You are believer jwallbanger. The typical type of optimist who always looks in the direction of white-coats when problems arise. But you don't have a clue about energy transformation and efficiency and the problem of finite sources in context with steady growth. You are not a scientist.

  • US oil production has been declining since 1970 and even at its height was less than 10 million barrels per day and guess what, we don't consume all that we produce, not we sell it abroad. If we drill in Alaska, some of that oil will go abroad and not be used for US consumption.

    US demand for petroleum peaked in 1978 at 18.8million barrels per day, so I doubt we were "still burning american oil for the most part" during the 70s oil crisis.

  • only a small percentage of our oil came from the middle east in 1973, the embargo was not enough to cause the major supply shocks and price increases that happened. but you know, maybe you should stick to believing what you read in the new york times and hear on NPR, you'll be happier as a propaganda dumpster. but even you drones are only three meals away from a revolution, you just have to lose your toys and go a little hungry before you stop believing the system acts in your best interest.

  • Listen, jwallbanger. You bore me. Your use of vuglarity and baseless assertations marks your commentary as suspect at best.

    The problem with the internet is that it allows plebs such as yourself the opportunity to post your uninformed drivel at will. Nobody would listen to you in person as you are nobody in person.

    Please feel free to curse and rail at me, but from this point forward, I cannot waste any more time responding to you.

  • As for public education, it's called will to power. Overcoming one's environment instead of becoming a product of it. Public schooling is an obstacle, not a bar. But that is not really the point of my post. I really doubt that you could be other than stupid regardless of your education.

    For the record, my father was a working class Vietnam veteran. I went to public school and spent five years in the military as an Arabic linguist. So as you see, I'm hardly a private school elitist.

  • Funny, you insult me with "you probably went to public school" as if that were some sort of disease, yet you went to public school yourself?

    There must be more than one utterly dull, log stupid personality in your little pea brain.

    I don't care to hear your life story either, I know you think so highly of yourself that I'd naturally be interested, but I'm not. You're about as interesting as a mayonnaise sandwich.

  • My daughter, however, will never see the inside of a public school, so one can hope that she never meets your adolescent equivalent.

    My favorite part of your post is where you assert that I am wrong about the oil crisis originating in the Middle East without clarification. I suppose we must all just take your word on the matter.

  • hey, elitist piece of shit, some of the smartest, most successful people in this world went to public school. You can piss away your entire life savings on your daughter's education for all i care, if she's anything like you it will give her nothing more than a giant ego.

    I don't throw down references unless in response to references someone else throws down first. I know your game, play the all-knowing skeptic and make the other guy do all the work. Sorry, but you get what you give, prick.

  • Oh, and one last thing, congratulations on discovering how to overcome the "character limit" after somebody else showed you how. Remember, jwallbanger, it's all about will to power... Can you raise yourself out of the ignorance of your birth and position to accomplish great things based on merit?

    Public schools are a disease. If you can escape from their influence the you are a lucky man. Corporate America doesn't want you to think for yourself, that is why we have public schools...

  • blah blah blah i'm not interested in what you learned from your silly self-help books. i go out in the world and kick ass every day, to impress only me and to give back to my WORKING CLASS community full of REAL human beings that went to PUBLIC SCHOOL and somehow ended up buying houses, starting businesses and raising families in spite of the fact that you believe they are hindered. you are POMPOUS. i will never be a phony fuck like you and they can put that on my fucking headstone asshole.

  • ...and for all you trivia buffs, TheArabist aka "elitist POS" didn't end the conversation here as promised. Hid did indeed "waste more time responding" by instead emailing me privately and posting on my personal comments, but blocked me so I could not reply, proving he only speaks due to an infatuation with his own hot air, and of course to stop being embarrassed by his own stupidity in a public forum. Hopefully you need no further proof that he took the chickenshit highway out of this argument.

  • btw, i didn't clarify because of the character limit. In the early 70's we were still burning american oil for the most part, very little came from the middle east, so OPEC's embargo had little real consequence. Our own oil corporations however, saw an opportunity. Through media manipulation and intentional supply shortage they turned a minor problem in the middle east into a full blown "oil crisis" and gouged the public out of billions, and overthrew price controls as well.

  • That's cuz "peak oil" is a scam due to huge fields recently discovered in Iraq, Alaska, and Iran.

    ggl:"Energy non-crisis" where you'll learn one possible cause at to why oil costs what it does.

  • Describing how to fix Global Warming and Global Dimming is the issue now. There is one fix, that society demands from corporations alternative energy, and choose to pay the costs for it to become cheaper over the years. Or we will wait until peak oil eventually hits, if it does, people will demand alternative energy since oil prices will be too high. Once demand is set, businesses supply.

  • Thanks for posting, it's been quite a party.

  • PLEASE READ - 100 of MILLIONS OF VANS - COME TO HOMES- Buisnesses (WITH last RESOURSES in them to provide POWER) Vans will have WIND-UP "sprockets" that fit in 4 holes attached to Generators in HOMES/APARTMENTS/ CONDOS/ BUISNESS's. ( And rotate AT An amazing SPEED(s) WINDING /power to a given Generator (much like) a wind up radio/ or lantern. (this is one example)

  • wow dude, that is almost the dumbest thing ive ever heard...

  • I don't see any alternative to oil for generating electricity apart from Nuclear power. The renewable energies mentioned here just can't provide the massive amount of voltages. To keep cities going I'm not an expert and I welcome any positive input I'm here to learn.

  • Unfortuntly to make nucular power a viable alternative yo would have to take the biggest nucular power plant in the US and build 10,000 of them to match what wo used for oil. which is a lot. Plus this would cause all the world uraium to be used up in 15 years... not an opinion man

  • geothermal!!!

  • Will she use oil to heat up?

  • Let's start a discussion group about Peak Windpower...yes, there will never be a point where windpower will be of less importance than the present age.

  • Wow... never thought of that... windpower WOULD peak if you think about it...

  • Oil uses water...oil and gas use ten barrels of water for producing a barrel of fuel. Possible solution: Make steam generators that run on water, saturated with gas. Combined with windpower and compressed air storage CAES, as demonstrated in Iowa and Texas projects, we can use existing pipelines to carry natural gas, and super-cooled air, generated by wind farms. Check our GreenEnergyTVdotCom...windpowe­r

  • Ya that's pretty out of the box thinking as far as I'm concerned. I guess I just never came to the realization that we could tap out the entire country with wind and solar power and then grow our way past it...

  • That is why we are using the video sites to grow past commercial wind/solar interests; creating several new generation hybrids, by working with local developers/coaches/contractors to mentor students in government housing...

    Turning Housing Projects into Energy Labs, by working with churches and schools, to create graduate to grade school continuity for RE Power Projects.

  • There are quite a few renewables availible.

    We have far better grid storage mechanisms than hydrogen.

  • Good Video!

  • great explanation of PO. But to hear how YOU can avoid problems and even profit during PO, watch the investment videos at sussmank and lorax2013

  • Very good video. Richard brings up his points very clearly. His experience as a professor really pays off when he is answering these types of common questions.
