World Population vs. World Oil Production (long version)

Related video: Chapter 17a - Peak Oil: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwNgNyiXPLk Energy is the lifeblood of any economy and a steady supply of energy is necessary to maintain the status quo, while an ever-increasing supply is needed to grow an economy. In this chapter, Dr. Chris Martenson explains that Peak Oil is not a theory, rather it is a description of how oil production increases over time, reaches a peak, then declines. Evidence points to a global production peak in the near future, which is troubling since the U.S. imports two-thirds of its oil and relies on it to much of its transportation and food production needs. http://www.thesoapboxroadshow.com/BlogAmericanDemocracy/

The old consumer economy is gone and not coming back |

The old consumer economy of spending and getting into debt is gone and it's not coming back but what does this mean for marketers ?

@hypnofan35 "Ever since the steam engine went away 100 years ago"

Most power plants today are steam engines.

.

"we have been using a "super heat chucking" paradigm."

What does "super heat chucking" mean?

[hitssquad]

@labrat1807 "[Oil's] price is capped by what the richest [...] can afford."

...And what is that cap?

.

"gas at the pump for $1000 a gallon, no one could afford"

Are you sure? At 100 mpg, that's $10/mile. For someone who drives:

100 miles/year, that's only $1,000/year;

1,000 miles/year, that's only $10,000/year;

10,000 miles/year, that's only $100,000/year. You don't think any of the millions of Americans with six-figure incomes could afford to spend $10,000/year on fuel?

@gagaplex now everything should be directed towards soften of impact of oil scarcity, not about job creation mantra. USA so stupid about "job creation" which only leads to more people to be born. What all those people gonna do around 2040?

[symmetry08]

Oil is expected to finish between 2055-260. But by 2040, already world will be in a mess. To eat or to miss dinner choose between two.

[dibaterman]

This is so skewed. Most people being born can't afford the things that use oil even by the time they die. It's sad but true.

[gagaplex]

Many say that green energies are job killers, but frankly, if we moved the ridiculous subsidies from fossil fuels into renewables, a whole new industry creating a whole new field and lots of new jobs would become viable.

[ClarksonsinUSA]

The tar sands in North America will carry us for a 100 years easily...

[Quotableduck]

@hitssquad he means the steam engine in cars...



[hollywoodt00]

But we will still have Mountain Top Removal, Tar Sand Extraction, Nuclear Energy and my personal favorite, Fracking. It's not a pretty picture but so long as there's black gold somewhere on earth, there will always be someone who is more than willing to destroy the natural beauty of the earth and all the life that's on it.

[GermanConquistador08]

My question is...so what? So what if we run out of oil (which isnt happening soon because anyone who says it is doesnt factor in prices and efficency) But if we were running out, than like ever other time in human history, people who recognize that we're running out of resources and then ration those resources accordingly (they'll use cars less, bike more, etc.) and then people will find new resources, or understood how to better use old ones. This is history people, and we should remember it.

[HostileNegotiator]

Very good. It would be cool if you could also explain to people how oil in cars is so wasteful of the resource and all the other uses of oil that we will no longer have in 2080 because our cars used it all up. Plastic bags for one thing. People are already getting irate over plastic bag bans with no clue that there is no oil left to make the damn bags. Just an educational thought. Oil will go down in history as the most stupid use of resource ever. We've had electric cars from car invent.

[UtwoBed]

Hell that's nothing. This video deals only with oil and population, but there is a bigger problem. Check out this video on YouTube:
