News flash for all you gas junkie idiots that still go out and buy gas cars, the government oil reserves that are in storage is not going to be used by us, it’s in reserve for government use only, to power their military. So when we run out of oil you will be screwed.
@Blackwater200 Don't forget to tell them that very little oil will be able to maintain global agriculture so expect them to shed some major pounds accumulated from moving their fat asses everywhere by car.
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..
Russia has wisely invested in concentrated key critical survival heavy industrial sectors all of it's abiotic oil and gas revenues earned during the good years. Especially in Uralmash and in our nuclear power plant industry. We knew of rock dust powder remineralization and terra-preta charcoal powder agriculture and combined the two in our agricultural sector meant for local consumption and criminalizing GE/GMO plants and their genetically contaminated and altered seeds.
We Russians already had our BREST nuclear power plant reactors up and running, they can simultaneously create new nuclear fuel as they consume the initial start up nuclear fuel and consuming nuclear wastes at the same time. Importantly, we also have converted several BREST nuclear reactors into Breeder BREST nuclear reactors to produce more start up nuclear fuel to increase nuclear power output in terms of electricity, district steam heating, and synthetic fuel production.
Want hydrogen fuel, go down to the lake, take a bucket of water and pour it into your fuel tank and drive off. Oops, water is the exahust of burning hydrogen and it takes more energy to make hydrogen than you get back using it even in fuel cells. It is nothing more than a way to make energy portable, just like a lead acid battery.
Teacher you can make your own BIOGAS using sewerage and leaves. Bio gas aka methane requires heat to work if there was a way you could use your wood stove heat to further fermentation in your biogas plant you could be producing bio gas year round. You can build your own still from some barrels from the car wash or the nearest bottler just barrels water and what ever biomass you decide to break down poo from animals people cow horse you name it even grass clippings will produce methane.
Much of the world used to live like this gentleman (sans the solar panels). But the West (specifically, the bloody Brits) changed all that and threw its bloody weight around the rest of the world, which therefore had no choice but to follow the lead of the West in adopting the same changes in their ways of life -- a change to a way of life which cannot do without oil, which is running dry because so many of us are using more and more of it.
Preparation is good for the early stages of the collapse, but survivalism usually ignores that the 'poor' will visit the 'rich' to get what they have. Defense is rather impractical not just because of 'swarming' by the poor, but because the swarm will including grandma, the brothers & cousins, the girlfirend's best friend, etc. Rather than go on network TV, a survivalist bunch might be better to 'disappear' to a nuke-resistant place that can monitor satellite TV for years then come out.
@PalmyBruce I was thinking the same thing myself. How long would he last in the event of the chaos that would follow Peak oil if he lived in a small town where the electricity was now gone and he's the only house with the lights on. It would sure attract alot of attention from the jealous neighbours. I'm sure it wouldn't be long before they were wondering what eles he had that they hadn't got.
@boscoesarmy Yes. I and hundreds of friends explored the options (the RunningOnEmpty egroup of Yahoo). About 70,000 emails, and we've read a similar number of websites. The guy's apprehensions are quite right - he's smart and way ahead of the pack, but, regardless of any ethics or generosity, I think the only viable response is a community one that reduces the rich-vs-poor contrast enough to prevent home invasions and similar looting. If I thought an enclave would do it, I'd be in one.
@PalmyBrucesmall Co operative movements, village communities will be the best way to ride things out. There is only so long your stock pile of canned food will last. Co op farm efforts will replace the labour the tractor used to do. People still don't realise the energy store from a hydrocarbon if they still think they will survive on their own. No matter how well one thinks they are prepared. There will still be something you will need of your neighbour, be that labour, expertise or just help.
PaulUmbarger- Trees are a renewable resource...as long as you keep planting then they will last forever. In Vermont, over 75% of homes heat at least partially with wood and our air is cleaner than any major city in America. Peak oil is a marketing strategy anyways.
@vtprisonco Even a renewable resource can be depleted if it's used faster than it can be renewed, which is entirely possible with the population excess we have right now. Do the math. Drop the denial.
@reallynicerecordings you obviously know nothing about responsible forestry, Alternative fuels, mini Hydro-electric and zero point energy, not to mention HHO gas. There is so much science that is being passed by because the oil lobbyists want to deplete the supply before it becomes worthless! I am off the grid, living free and driving clean. Can you say the same? Also, I replied to Paul Umberger, thanks for chiming in Dickhead.
@vtprisonco Aw shucks. I didn't mean to upset you. Look, I know all about the stuff you mentioned and more. The bottom line is that the global economy is based on the idea of infinite growth and Earth is a finite physical ball. Unless we get into space mining and colonization, civilization is screwed. May be screwed in any case because of critical biospheric damage. If this doesn't make sense we'll have to agree to disagree.
@reallynicerecordings we do not have the resources & international cooperation necessary to colonize or @ least access resources w/in our solar system before the next 50yrs. why flatter ourselves w/ experimental planetary colonization, when we haven't even done it completely on the face of the earth. i predict religious refugees colonizing the forgotten continent full time, as a diaspora escaping ther execution just as how our ancesters left certain death behing to settle the new world.
@reallynicerecordings Space mining? colonisation? 1. If we cant even manage to survive on Earth, with all the skills and resources we have, we are not going to do the impossible on a place that we cant even get to, or know even exists.
2. your idea is rather like building another house, because you have started a fire in the one you already have!
@vtprisonco - there are lots of different types of energy, none match the total energy we're used to from oil. our species was very stupid using it to multiply.
@vtprisonco There's no such thing as zero point energy. The phrase is an oxymoron. HHO gas isn't an energy source. There are no substitutes to petroleum so stop misleading people with your pathological science nonsense.
@DaFuckyouat I disagree, Zero point energy exists, to prove it, erect an antennae and run a 10 gauge braided wire to the top and attach a multi meter to the other end and take a reading for volts, amps and watts. HHO burns, creates heat and is combustible even more so than propane yet you say it's not an energy source? I think I get an idea of your general intellect so we can end this banter now.
What you're claiming is not backed by any kind of real scientific evidence.
The energy to separate hydrogen and oxygen in water comes from an external source in all diagrams of a water fuel cell . This fact precludes HHO from being an energy source. Where the hell were you when Hydrogen was discredited as an energy source?
Harnassing zero point energy from Helium very close to impossible, if it is some kind of energy that's preventing Helium from becoming solid.
Using wood to warm his home... what if we all did that? How long would the trees last? How hard would it be to breathe in the towns and cities? Gotta think beyond the bumper stickers!
I know how to win the oil endgame... simply invade their country and steal all of their oil!
How to win the OPIUM endgame?
US Militay control the heroin, allow the bankers to launder the drug money after the CIA smuggles it in, DEA distributes it, LEO busts the small dealers and users, court system fines and puts them in a privatized prison, where drugs are readily available.

Even if the peak were to happen in thirty years time (I believe we are passing the peak now) shouldn't we be investing heavily in renewables now while we still have the surplus to do it?
The investor class has only been throwing its money at really bad ideas like biofuels and electric cars. They are waiting for the invisible hand of the Market to drive fossil fuel prices up to invest in alternatives. By the time prices reach very high levels, there wouldn't be enough oil coal, or natural gas to help build the infrastructure. Capitalism was never very good at planning for the future.
