Oil - The Party Is Over - Richard Heinberg - ECU#582

Richard Heinberg, author of "The Party's Over: Oil, War and the Fate of Industrial Societies" and "Powerdown: Options and Actions for a Post-Carbon World," and professor at New College of California, discusses the end of oil as the fuel of industrial societies. There must be fundamental changes, says Heinberg, a full commitment to renewable energy, adoption of energy conservation measures and a transition to sustainable local food systems.

Moniequa, when you have the largest economy in the world, by far, in a deep recession, oil will obviously drop due to lack of demand. But, that won't last forever because as the US declines India, China and many other countries continue to grow making up for the US drop in consumption. Oil will continue to fluctuate in price but over the long term it will consistently go UP!

Wait and see what happens when Mexico is no longer able to ship us their oil which has peaked faster than expected.

@controlpopulation

i agree with controlling population. er, btw i know it's off topic, but it's "couldn't care less" ! it always annoys me when i see people, usually americans write "could care less". almost as bad as when they say somethings "addicting" rather than "addictive", or the ridiculous "off of" thing, when one "off" would do.

@rdsanchez1966 There's not enough oil to make new Electric vehicles that would replace the old oil vehicles :D

[kroovyandcal]

the biodiesel shit is a fucking myth, too. the big 18 wheel transports should be running on natural gas, agent zero populace

[kroovyandcal]

there's a massive corruption here. you responded only after i found out how the non-building of necessary nuclear facilities in america is instituted by a wicked global elite of depopulation agenda, agent. these are the same people that intentionally caused the BP oil disaster, and by golly nigga there is a money trail. all these actions are treasonous and not in the best interests of america, FEMA camp.

@kroovyandcal Uranium won't run tractors and dozens of other agricultural equipment. Trucks run on diesel and transport the food in refrigerated lorries.Freight Trains run on diesel. U can't use uranium to replace gas that makes ammonia for fertilizer. Uranium wont replace aviation fuel. There is 6.5 billion people to feed and we have to transport food around the world to feed 6.5 billion people. Uranium is a finite resource as well and it depletes over time. Uranium doesn't grow on trees either

@hitssquad

Where? In America with the recession and low demand? one barrel of oil is almost now $80

[hitssquad]

@ocean3da "Oil is in decline every day."

Is that why it's still produced for $2/bbl?
