To those concerned with peak oil:
We will always have affordable oil as long as we have plenty of trash. Google thermal depolymerization. In 2005 a thermal depolymerization plant was turning leftover turkey remains from a Butterball plant into oil at a cost of about $80 a barrel. It would be even cheaper if they did not have to buy the remains. We can break down virtually all carbon based wastes into oil (light sweet), gas, minerals, and water through the thermal depolymerization process.

How? Is oil infinite? Has America not imported oil increasingly since 1970 when it hit peak oil?
I don't see any evidence for it being a scam.

listen to the bugs

i would bet peak oil is a contrived scam.

They are after our gardens now. HR 875.

There is no peak oil. Just effective PR and artificial scarcity.
Population is growing because of efficient system of agriculture (system of herding you and me), not because of the oil.
Are you sure that those who have control will allow you to change the fundamentals?

right now, the entire population of earth could fit in australia alone. We are far from overpopulation, the problem is the greed based system,the self-interest.
The food problem is another myth, the amount of food wasted in feeding animals for our desire for meet( witch is imposed upon us)is far bigger than the hole world could consume.

That's fantastic! Thank you!

how refreshingly sane these thoughts are.

Grasshoppers and honey will keep you going strong.
My uncle keeps bees in nyc.
In MA we have a woodpecker feeding off the bugs in the cedar shakes on our home at this very moment. All creatures have potential. Many edible insects and bugs. And I love honey. local is great antioxidant.

I'd like to do some beekeeping here too. From what I've learned most insects are edible. Do you have any insight on this?

I like your thinking, but I guess I'm not so convinced that we can't have a technological series of solutions: closing the nutrient loop with recycled sewerage and greenwaste composting: renewables, hydrogen ... AND permaculture!

I don't want to discount a technological series of solutions. My concern is that the change of infustructure is not possible and If it was accomplised could lead to the expansion of our society into undomesticated systems. I'm very interested in passive systems of technology. I don't think we'll ever have the windfall of surplus that oil has given us ever again. Whatever Alternative energy can offer I'm more than happy to use but not at the expense of global ecological sustainability.

Great video, Adam.
Don't forget-stop buying paper products.

Agreed, paper products use a lot of energy to produce. At Meadowlark we use a compostable cup for to-go orders. They only work if kept out of landfills because of the lack of air under the surface.
