Thousands of years from now, archeologists will find things like plastic bowls, computer monitors, plastic bottles, and other evidence of our existance on this planet.

1. Mind. The human brain needs time and energy to adapt. Plan.
2. Meat. Eat meat every second day instead of every day.
3. Money. Put your money somewhere safer place than the bank.
This is gives most positive effect for you and the world for the least amount of energy, no breaking laws or violence. It costs you nothing, but you don't get it free.
1) Money - The Economy cant function without growth, without Oil, theres no growth, Money will be worthless.
2) Meat - Eating meat every second day will do nothing if we start to decline in oil. Oil makes pesticides and DDTs that grows the food that put 7 billion people on the planet. Lots of animals bred for consumtion will also see thier populations drop.
3) Mind - Try using it a bit more. For every one person that will remain calm, several will panic.
@moonsugar1 Meat consumes more oil. Money put in fractional reserving pushes more consuming of oil, taking them out of the bank reverses the inflation, unless government fucks it up. Mind because we should focus the spending on it to the most reasonable until we got 100% of our energy on renewable sources. I didn't claim it was a final solution, only what everybody can do.
@bvssvni I see what your saying but believe its actually not enough. The best people can do at this time is think locally and start trying to become self sufficent. Even so i personally think we're too far down the line to stop a crash of some kind from happening on a global scale. We'll see things fall apart rather quickly when supply cant meet demand.
I just hope at some point Governments and world leaders bite the bullet and tell people what is happening, if they dont it will be chaos.
@moonsugar1 I'm trying some calculations if the oil prices raises 3 times higher than the average man can afford, it is 20% chance of humanity surviving in best case.
What I'm thinking is if I can't afford it, so might you, but some people need to get it each time to survive. That's a sequence f(x) = x + x^2 + x^3 + .... = x/(x-1) and you depend on some people never get the oil to increase your own chance, so it goes f(1/3)/(f(1/3)+f(2/3)) = 0.2 = 20% Being self sufficient is way much better.
you can make plastic like materials out of vegtable starch, tires can be made out of metal (like the moon rover used to drive around on the moon). oil is not as scarce as the oil sellers would like us to think, but oil is very dirty to harvest and use, so it behooves us to find an alternative. electric is best...
@moonsugar1 What are you talking about?There is 56 countries that already receive over 50% of their electrical energy from renewable(though most of them are 3rd world). (After you build enough to meet electrical needs any extra can be used for hybrids/electrical/hydrogen vehicles. Wind generation capacity grow more than 9.1x between 2000 and 2009, doubling about every three years. A 14.5x increase in the shipment of PV cells and modules in the US alone from 2000 to 2009. (cont)
@Theimmortalwhitewolf Last year, Renewable energy counted for just 16% of the worlds power consumption. Thats Solar, Tidal, Wave, Waste, Wind, all of it added together. Oil was still the largest at 33% but is starting to decline, and thats not because its being replaced.
Its clear that renewable energy isnt contributing enough at this point in oils decline. Dont forget as well that power consumption itself increases every year.
There will never be six hundred million Hybrid/Elec/Hydro cars.
@moonsugar1 and how do you know that there will never be? Same could be said for fossil fuel vehicles at the beginning of last century. It's already been showing that most of the US. fleet could be charged at night when electrical demand is at it lowest.(be it electrical or used to produce hydrogen(though i would prefer ti see hydrogen, even though it it would require more energy the just pure electrical cars yo don't need the materials for the battery) ) .
@Theimmortalwhitewolf There will never be, simply because of the amount of oil that goes into creating a car. From transporting the parts to a factory, to the plastic in the dash or the fibres in the seat belts.
People need to undestand that although we have alternatives to oil in most sectors, transition is a challenge within itself.
Even if you could replace todays cars, we would need a system that could expand to 1.2 billion cars by 2030 to continue as we are today unaffected. Scary stuff.
@moonsugar1 (cont)Of course you can also talk about energy efficiency. White roof policies like you have in California can be used throughout most of the south to reduce energy use on hot summer days by 10%. for more northern states a green roof offer reduced heating and cooling cost.(Germany has ~ 10 of its roof's greened). The Solar water heating for homes, China alone has 70GW of this type in 2006. Solar to electrical i would have to admit is not very good(cont2).
@moonsugar1 (cont2) In 2010 ~211 billion was invested world wide for renewable energy . From 2008 to 2010. Total installed capacity went from 1.15 TW to 1.32 TW. The rate of renewable energy being installed has held steady or even grown even with the world recession.
Scientists have advanced a plan to power 100% of the world's energy with wind, hydroelectric, and solar power by the year 2030.
I work for oil drilling companies and the U.S is not out of oil by no way shape or form. The EPA has made sure it is so hard for us to get permits, and costs so much we can not play on the same field as other countries..!! There is so much oil in the mid west we can not pump it all up to the surface in the next 300 years. Hell dont get me started on natural gas its even bigger. I just wish people could open their eyes and see that it is DUMB ASSES and WALL STREET that set the price.
@sshepherd81, you got that right. The folks who actually DO the drilling are the ones seeing the big picture, not just their own paychecks that depend on oil. No resource can be finite in our lifetime, anyhow.
The government is lying about how much oil is left so they can save a few endangered pygmy rats. All the geologists who say the U.S. only has 2% of the world's crude are Godless socialists who flunked 5th grade math.
Only God can decide when His children shall be denied the black gold.
Did you actually had your brain when you type this up? Because anything can happen when we quickly deplete our resources by economic growth and expanding our resources. The invasion of middle east ring any bells?
@sshepherd81 Can you provide details. The figure I have, 2006 DOE paper "New CO2 Enhanced Oil Recovery Technology Could Greatly Boost U.S. Oil Supplies" States additional 89-430 billion barrels. The 430 figure includes 179 billion that is yet to be discovered [let it pass]. 430 billion barrels, assuming zero energy extraction, will last the US 50 years at current rates of consumption. Knowing demand will increase and energy is required to extract, 30 years is more realistic.
We have to debate which is the BEST source of clean energy.
My guess (for FF's replacement) is either 50,000 sq miles of solar PV (which would HAVE to be mined, robotically made, distributed AND installed by same giant oil company like business in order to reduce costs by MANY factors). Likewise for battery storage.
Or
LFTR, the safest longest lasting (thorium and spent fuel) fission...
All other RE (to date) simply can not replace this great oil economy, Wind energy, well, barely..
@LohLpAp Enough oil to mine the steel ore, refine it, transport it, smelt it, transport all the coal needed for electricity for the entire process, refine oil based polymers into the rubber tires (including the transportation and melting of rubber components). Oil to build and maintain roads/bikelanes, asphalt. There is also the oil used to make and transport the food needed to be able to have enough calories to power the bike, oh + snow clearing in the winter and you can't replace a semi truck
i suggest people fight the income tax and property tax (and requirements of licenses and permits to drive, carry guns, marriage and open businesses, etc.)...think about it, as if i need to tell you to.. you cant work for a living or own property without the government threatening you with imprisonment and violence, if you dont hand over a portion of the products of your labors...what do you call that besides slavery? i just cant believe how stupid people are
When oil runs out. No one will be able to run their war machinery except those who have enough oil fields to run their war machinery. What happens with countries with nukes but no oil? start invading other oil countries to get the cheap gas price.
@smartzazi no, you know what will happen, all the super power, will get together and say, fuck this shit, you get this eastern side of the middle east and i will get the western side, it will be between USA and Britian and russia and china, and they would take over and countries like israel, france italy, germany would recieve from the U.S and britian side, and you get the picture, and also dont you think that the U.S is lying how much they have in the reserve of oil, way more then they say
@MrEnergyCzar YES INDEED......I hope that as oil prices rise through the roof, that civilization as we know it improves rather than the opposite........I am reading a book titled 20 DOLLARS PER GALLON, where the author claims that things will get better for humanity, BUT, after a few years of hard changes......
The whole of the modern world is dependent on oil. I can't even imagine what is going to happen, but it will most likely be completely terrible for most of the world's population. There is nothing as efficient as the oil from energy (even close). How will the earth, which before oil wasn't even supporting a billion people on it's yearly dose of sunshine, possibly support today's populations and lifestyles?
We have much more oil to find,way more,we haven't even found more then 15-20% of all oil. The SEA!!!, when we will be going more and more in future we will have a much better technology and we will be able to dig under deeper water like the pacific ocean, but i don't hope we will.
@TheZagros3000 All the oil we find from here on in is going to be pricier and more difficult to produce. 2006 was the biggest year for oil production so far and that 2008 $4/gallon gas didn't spark a new peak speaks volumns.
@MrTadblack I know, but as i said the more we are going into the future the better technology we will have, yes it will be much harder even the climate will try to stop it, but this oil companies are stubborn and will do everything they can to get that oil under the sea.
@TheZagros3000 Thats true but is that really going to lead us infinitly increasing production? Ever year since 1980 people have pulled more oil from the ground than we have found in new discoveries. Infact the chart has been moving in exactly the wrong direction with more being pumped every year and less being found in general. Doing everything we can does not include conjuring up lots of new cheap and easy oil deposits and thats the only thing would change the production curve.
Do you know anything about geology, plate tectonics etc.? How would oil get into oceanic crust? There is simply no way. Oceanic crust is quite slim and usually younger than oilfields.
But please keep on dreaming if it feels better. Maybe one day we will find another continent like America. Maybe we just have failed to notice it yet. And there will be plenty of gold and oil and pretty girls and...
Once we have Iran surrounded we'll move in for their remaining reserves... not sure if China will like that and I'm a little nervous that they border Afghanastan to their north... It should be interesting...
@illuminaz1 Half and Half. acctually Brazilian industries aren't based on Oil Fuel but bio fuel and hydroelectric energy, our emitions of CO2 are based mostly in Forests Burnings (Natural and not natural) and old public transportation (still based on oil), most part of the cars on the cities are moved by half oil and half bio fuel (don't ask me how does it works). Brazil has only 2 big metropolis, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo , the others are, in comparation, small.
@BJM87 But we humans are 1) killing them in meany ways and 2) extracting oil faster then they are producing in, do you know the rate of oil extracted per year? 4.5 billion cubic meters. oil produced? 100 000 cubic meters.
idiot - if we used it at the rate its being produced, we wouldn't need to drill for it - it would just be seeping out of the ground and readily available.
So if we cut off humanitarian aid to other countries that will save a few barrels at least, we can pull our military out of every part of the world so they can learn what a deterrent was and save a few more barrels, stop buying their products boy will that save some barrels. Their economies can crumble a little they can fight amongst themselves about it and we can hang up the phone when they call for aid. We got plenty of reserves here plus were going down the false green road anyway.
there is so many ignorant people in in usa that thats 75% is overweight cuz they dont wana walk or ride a bike but is cool cuz the goverment just goes and invades a country kill their people and take over their shit they are the biggest gang in the world
thats the problem i need my car to go to work . if drive a bike i would take like 3 hours to get to my job and then another 3 hours to come back,,,,sooo:( should i take the bus or train??? naaaahhh they charge to much:)
yall should come to texas, where about 95% of transportation is personal vehicle and average miles per year per person is about 18k. and a large majority of the vehicles chosen to drive down to the corner store for bread are large SUV's and Large trucks, of which about a third are diesels. My point is that everything is soo far from everything else that with out a car, it might take 2 days to walk to someplace across town. so, we drive like maniacs.
Holy cow.. the US is really consuming the heck out of world oil... for not that big a population compared to the rest of the world. I mean... we all know that, but this visual really gets the message through.
Americans are not dumb. You simply don't understand economics. Those of you who think life sucks and that the world will be destroyed in your lifetimes simply haven't been around long enough to realize that it's the same old tune being sung over and over again with different causes being cited, all of which are pure bunk.
FACTUALY INCORECT, No mention of oil rich field with 100s of billions of barrels off shore, new oil fields in Brazil(100billion barrels), Anwar, N.Dakota, etc.. Shale oil in Colorado more than oil in Saudi Arabia, and much more. They outlaw drilling and claim shortages to keep prices high. If they drilled where the oil is we would have a glut, and prices would go way down. Why should they want to do that? It costs less to control supply.
Even if we were to reduce oil consumption, what about India and China? It doesn't matter, we are all completely fucked. I am 26, in my lifetime shit will get out of control. I can't wait to see the collapse because of our stupidity, arrogance, and greed. I almost think we all deserve it.
@el2I2ol2 You are correct! But many bikes can be made for that of one small car. I'll add that bikes will confinue to use oil- for chains, tires and brake pads, but again, only for a very small fraction to run a car for the same miles.. Heck, even walking shoes use oil..... Get it? we need to use it a realistic rate, not as fast as we can! oil is just too important.
@bsasteve I ride a bike... 5,000+ miles of transportation miles each year... I would love to ride across arizona one day... But, untill then and after - Fuck oil, ride a bike you fat lazy greedy americans
@jamamanjamh13 "fuck oil"??? do you know that everything you have around you is made because of oil??? Do you know that the keyboard you typed that comment is made of oil?
@Nichen the OIL doesn't kill us... people may use oil to kill people... Also a knife doesn't kill you... if a person is trying to kill you with a knife don't blame the knife!
@ohyes247 Of course it is! And it grew on an organic aluminium keyboard tree! Or was it perhaps aluminium that was mined/recycled, refined, designed, machined, packaged and transported?
@Huttate1 dude im sorry but you must not know shit about stuff not made of plastic... i mean hell they make fuckin computer cases out of carbon fiber even i seen em so im sure they can make aluminium keyboards oh wait they are making em.. they have been.. for the past 20 fucking years because i got one right here
@ohyes247 What was used to transport those materials thousands of miles? what is used in the blast furnaces worldwide to smelt metals? What is used to mine and transport coal for use in powerplants? More importantly, what is used to produce pesticides, and fertilizers for crops, to till the soil and transport those crops worldwide? The answers of course are oil and natural gas. To run the world without oil would require the return to 17th century agrarian society with billions of deaths
@devonkeim sure it is.... of course when everything runs on plasma and neutrons we would still go back to the 17th century and no... none of that was needed.... i built the entire thing... all i need to go in to a store to buy was the chips
@arxidamos13 right. Oil is like corn. Its IN EVERYTHING, or is involved indrectly that slows the production and or transportation of the product/food/service.
@jamamanjamh13 yo, it is a cover up, the U.S.A buys all the oil to only keep stocking it, the U.S makes plenty of oil in there lands, dont need other countries oil to support there needs, they know one day the oil will dry, from earth, the U.S resersve is way more then they say, they are not gonna tell you the truth,
I think America should keep letting people in it's country and make more roads until it's like India & China. it would be nice not to be able to get away from people even if you wanted to. we can drop our quality of life and just keep fucking each other and breed like the cockroaches we are. i dream of a world like Soylent Green.
The US didn't peak in the 60's. We went to economic war with Russia and sunk their economy by switching to cheap middle east oil. At the same time regualting US oil to keep it tucked away and safe.
As for why we continue to only be the worlds 3rd largest oil producer below #1 russia and Saudia, Think I have a jar full of cookies, but why eat mine when i can buy and eat yours first then save mine till nobody else has any cookies.
Are you nuts the USA peaked in oil production in the early 1970's. And as for the oil stored in reserve by the US Government...haha....that would only last the USA a mere 30 odd days before it runs out. Imagine line ups for kms to get that stuff.
The United States can't go above 3rd place on the list not sure if it has dropped further down or not but would not be surprised if it did. Lets see how you feel when your gonna have to pump $5-7 a GALLON or MORE in to ur cars in the near future.
USA peaks in 1970, Russia in 1980..world peaks in 2008, look ata data extraction.
From 2008 we have already lost 2 millions barrels/day, a country like germany is without oil.
And, do you know that BIG OIL has stopped investements in prospection and It is using the greatest part of the incomes TO BUY BACK ITS SHARES? Do you know that mexico has built the biggest eolic plant of the world?(it has also peaked, cantarell oil field is going to dry) Time of speculation is over, now is time to surviv
PEAK OIL is a real problem and there is NO real solution to it. 30 years from today you will see total economic collapse, you will see lots of conflicts fighting for the last bits of oil... 100 years from now civilisation a syou know it will be no longer be.. This is the end of the golden age!! No amount of solar energy or any other energy will provide you with energy to match fossil fuels Nuclear Energy is too damn unstable and what are you going to do with Nuclear Waste!!!

True just need better drilling techniques and equipment to get to it cause it's a tough dig. Theirs many more oil fields just harder to get to cause of type of soil. Another thing Chinese are drilling in a territorial waters from outside the line by drilling at an angle, shysty as hell.
There isn't even consensus regarding geological foundational assumptions, let alone Zino-controlled industry and collegiate conclusions ignoring the on-going cyclical global replenishment. And you posit a notion of "simple geology"?
Many of us see beyond your false assumption red herring of "simple geology"; Zino-manipulation through deception and simple criminality as in all of the other worlds resources, but not "simple geology".
You have to remember for future notice that when you argue on here you are arguing with hard left loons. They don't know logic and it wouldn't matter if they had the data right under their nose. They are irrational and not what you would call an average American.
I read that the first audit conducted by American inspectors into occupied Iraq turned up a dismal report card. 80% of items checked could not be satisfactorily accounted for.
I can imagine on the expenses side. The paying tribal chiefs tons of US$ and more to armed contractors to keep them tamed in order to keep pipelines open.
But if 80% of oil revenues cannot be accounted for,then some people are becoming super duper RICH or the oil gone to the strategic oil reserve!
Maybe long term US strategy is simply to dominate oil producing countries militarily, at any cost, while consuming world supply as fast as possible, so that the world's reserves will be exhausted before any oil rich country, say Russia, for example, gets the chance to make a bid for world domination. Only when the oil is gone would they convert to alternative fuels. A high risk strategy, a race against time, but it would make sense out what otherwise seems a totally irrational energy policy.
WERD!!! you couldn't have explained it any better... i seriously believe this man. no joke. i mean seriously, they have other methods such as geo thermal, and especially fuel cells, and nuclear energy.... but why haven't we converted??? ;) i seriously think we are seriously gonna deplete all the oil reserves and eventually turn to our alternative fuels.
I've been thinking about this. I've come to the conclusion that human beings are fucking idiots, and they deserve what's coming to them. How many people even know what "EROEI" stands for? IDIOTS. Fuck humanity.
I do not think it is reality that we could suddenly replace cars that are being run by oils with hydrogen based cars,since the cost of it is very high,not only that,if oil peaks,I doubt we would have enough cheap energy left (we still highly relied on oil for material extract and production) to get the material that we need in order to create those cars for a reasonable price in the first place.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The United States will NOT fall hard on its ass as you say....We will have to go through some hard times, but will survive and recover...Already in California a car which produces over 200 miles per gallon is being manufactured....It is called the Aptera, made in Carlsbad, near San Diego....And Governor Arnold Swarchzenegger has signed the Hydrogen Highway Law which will be a good start....YOU American-hating Fascist-communist PIG....
Hydrogen is not energy, it is an energy carrier. You need energy to create the hydrogen. This energy comes from electricity, which comes from fossil fuels. You might as well jsut drive an efficient gas car than convert fossil fuels into hydrogen. Even if we started making a significant portion of energy from nuclear, our electrical grid can not handle North Americans all plugging their cars in, it needs serious upgrade which takes many years, many years we probably don't have.
Its simple, switch to hydrogen based cars. You can extract hydrogen stright from water, ANY water, tap water, including ocean water. What else is more abondant then ocean water?
North America will not be able to sustail development in the suburbs, everyone will eventually have to give up their cars......nuff said. Watch the documentary "The End of Suburbia"

By 2012, surplus oil production capacity could entirely disappear, and as early as 2015, the shortfall in
output could reach nearly 10 MB per Day.

I work for oil drilling companies and the U.S is not out of oil by no way shape or form. The EPA has made sure it is so hard for us to get permits, and costs so much we can not play on the same field as other countries..!! There is so much oil in the mid west we can not pump it all up to the surface in the next 300 years. Hell dont get me started on natural gas its even bigger. I just wish people could open their eyes and see that it is DUMB ASSES and WALL STREET that set the price.
sshepherd81 10 months ago
@sshepherd81, you got that right. The folks who actually DO the drilling are the ones seeing the big picture, not just their own paychecks that depend on oil. No resource can be finite in our lifetime, anyhow.
The government is lying about how much oil is left so they can save a few endangered pygmy rats. All the geologists who say the U.S. only has 2% of the world's crude are Godless socialists who flunked 5th grade math.
Only God can decide when His children shall be denied the black gold.

Did you actually had your brain when you type this up? Because anything can happen when we quickly deplete our resources by economic growth and expanding our resources. The invasion of middle east ring any bells?
SgtThom 9 months ago
@sshepherd81 Can you provide details. The figure I have, 2006 DOE paper "New CO2 Enhanced Oil Recovery Technology Could Greatly Boost U.S. Oil Supplies" States additional 89-430 billion barrels. The 430 figure includes 179 billion that is yet to be discovered [let it pass]. 430 billion barrels, assuming zero energy extraction, will last the US 50 years at current rates of consumption. Knowing demand will increase and energy is required to extract, 30 years is more realistic.

We have to debate which is the BEST source of clean energy.
My guess (for FF's replacement) is either 50,000 sq miles of solar PV (which would HAVE to be mined, robotically made, distributed AND installed by same giant oil company like business in order to reduce costs by MANY factors). Likewise for battery storage.
Or
LFTR, the safest longest lasting (thorium and spent fuel) fission...
All other RE (to date) simply can not replace this great oil economy, Wind energy, well, barely..

@LohLpAp Enough oil to mine the steel ore, refine it, transport it, smelt it, transport all the coal needed for electricity for the entire process, refine oil based polymers into the rubber tires (including the transportation and melting of rubber components). Oil to build and maintain roads/bikelanes, asphalt. There is also the oil used to make and transport the food needed to be able to have enough calories to power the bike, oh + snow clearing in the winter and you can't replace a semi truck

@TheZagros3000 Thats true but is that really going to lead us infinitly increasing production? Ever year since 1980 people have pulled more oil from the ground than we have found in new discoveries. Infact the chart has been moving in exactly the wrong direction with more being pumped every year and less being found in general. Doing everything we can does not include conjuring up lots of new cheap and easy oil deposits and thats the only thing would change the production curve.

Maybe long term US strategy is simply to dominate oil producing countries militarily, at any cost, while consuming world supply as fast as possible, so that the world's reserves will be exhausted before any oil rich country, say Russia, for example, gets the chance to make a bid for world domination. Only when the oil is gone would they convert to alternative fuels. A high risk strategy, a race against time, but it would make sense out what otherwise seems a totally irrational energy policy.

The United States will NOT fall hard on its ass as you say....We will have to go through some hard times, but will survive and recover...Already in California a car which produces over 200 miles per gallon is being manufactured....It is called the Aptera, made in Carlsbad, near San Diego....And Governor Arnold Swarchzenegger has signed the Hydrogen Highway Law which will be a good start....YOU American-hating Fascist-communist PIG....

Hydrogen is not energy, it is an energy carrier. You need energy to create the hydrogen. This energy comes from electricity, which comes from fossil fuels. You might as well jsut drive an efficient gas car than convert fossil fuels into hydrogen. Even if we started making a significant portion of energy from nuclear, our electrical grid can not handle North Americans all plugging their cars in, it needs serious upgrade which takes many years, many years we probably don't have.
