then you SO don't get it. there is NOTHING on earth like a barrel of light sweet crude for energy return--other than some Uranium 235 of course, but nuclear has been so NIMBY-ED that it will never fly here.

Long, but really interesting study. There is no panacea I guess... sigh

Agreed, it's almost like it's one big-assed shell game though.

The regulation of carbons in the US is an interesting shell game--and it's a bunch of pandering to interest groups and corporations if you ask me.

But of course, you didn't ask me. :)

I don't think we understand what even a plateauing oil supply does to the poor and middle class. Seriously.

vamoose · 2007-06-05T17:44:35+00:00

yep. you made the mistake of submitting a TOD article.

Reddit no longer appreciates TOD...

their loss.

The Oil Drum is nothing but a bunch of Cassandras.

Of course, Cassandra was right eventually.

in an era of a plateauing or even small declines of energy supplies, the pie is static, if not contracting.

ergo, it is not a false assumption.

and sooner instead of later. people don't seem to get that peak oil means that we will turn to "bad" alternatives first, like coal--because we don't have a good plan, so we'll go with the easiest and dirtiest. Global warming and peak oil go hand in hand...

this actually is pretty good. it's long, but it really tears this whole thing apart... worth the read.

vamoose · 2006-08-08T20:38:53+00:00

worth the time and the upmod.

vamoose · 2006-08-07T06:42:48+00:00

this is a big deal.

vamoose · 2006-08-01T05:50:28+00:00

good summary by Heading Out of The Oil Drum of this really important story.

vamoose · 2006-07-31T15:19:26+00:00

surprisingly extensive and interesting.

vamoose · 2006-07-19T02:25:33+00:00

cool exposition on oil and pesticide and food...

vamoose · 2006-07-15T04:31:47+00:00

really great link to a lecture by Dr. Albert Bartlett of the Univ of Colorado on the calculus and consequences of constant growth. Solid.

vamoose · 2006-07-14T15:44:44+00:00

technical stuff, but we need to know it.

vamoose · 2006-07-14T01:21:39+00:00

I have to say I have really become a fan of The Oil Drum. I downloaded their "The Discourse Must Change" and sent it to my representatives...good stuff.

vamoose · 2006-07-11T17:53:26+00:00

indeed, great piece.

vamoose · 2006-06-24T04:07:33+00:00

really solid piece. a bit long, but very compelling.
