Does anybody know, that according to some Oil Geologists (e.g. Colin
Campbell) in 2013 the world oil output is going to peak ?  Are you
aware what this does mean for all of us ?  We have 4 years from now,
until there will not be enough energy for travelling, heating and the
most important for food for everybody of us. Oil prices will begin to
peak, not 150 USD/barrel, much much higger prices are expected. Many
people will loose their jobs and many of us will begin to starve.
Alternatives will also be more expensive since the demand will
increase astronomically. Alternative energy will also be much much
more expensive, due to the demand and due to much higher costs. Making
a wind turbine cost a lot of energy. Making ethanol cost a lot of oil
(pesticides, insecticides, transportation, production, harvesting,
fertilizers etc.). Making insulations cost also a lot of oil.



What is the solution ? The only way is to act now, individually. Now,
where the oil prices are still cheap, although there is an increase,
each individual can begin to prepare himself for these hard times in
near future. Insulation of houses, solar cells, which are now more
affordable (in ebay 1 W solar cells cost 1 USD or even less), solar
water heating, solar heating with mirrors reflecting the sunlight to
your home in winter, making your own wind turbine (a lot of
instruction of cheap design can be found in the internet), buying a
plug-in car or a hybrid vehicle, using energy efficient lightning,
heating with heat pumps, making a winter garden etc. are some of the
things each of us can do to prepare himself/herself for hard times and
to save money and energy. There are also ways to save energy and try
to extend the date a little bit by using the car only when necessary,
using the bike instead of your car, using public transportation,
converting the car to methane fueling, saving energy where ever it is
possible, not only in your home also in your work, etc. will help to
extend the date.



The other alternative is to wait until this date, actually the
economical crisis is in its ending phase and the oil prices will again
rise to record highs. But this is nothing compared to the prices when
world oil supplies will deminish 4% yearly. And after this date (2013)
very very hard times may come. Starvation and even worse things like
war are the alternative.



If you act now, you will also help to produce new jobs in your
country.

Nothing, just like previous mindless hyperventilations havent.


Thats not what peak oil means, fool.


Only by fools.

And if that does happen eventually, that just makes shale oil, tar sands, oil
from coal etc viable.


Thats already happened, fool.

Use electricity from nukes to heat our houses, stop wasting
natural  gas on heating houses, use that natural gas in our cars.


Pure pig ignorant fantasy.


Only a fool hasnt done that already.


Stupid approach when the grid is available.

Stupid approach. Makes a hell of a lot more sense to design
the house properly in the first place. I did that 40 years ago now.


Complete waste of time. Makes a hell of a lot more sense to use the grid instead.


No thanks. I'll use natural gas in the car if the gasoline price ends up high
enough.


Doesnt use enough power to matter.


Some of us have been doing that since before you were even born thanks child.


No thanks.


And wont make any difference when oil does actually peak.


Anyone with a clue does that already.


There aint no public transport here, child.


Like hell it will.


highs.

We'll see. The last time fools like you predicted that, in the 70s, it took 40
years to happen.


deminish 4% yearly.

We'll see. The last time fools like you predicted that, in the 70s, it took 40

Nope. If it does turn out like that, we'll just use nukes to heat our houses and
use the natural gas to power our cars. And if the natural gas does run out
eventually, we can use the nukes to produce hydrogen and run our cars on that.


Thats what Malthus claimed. Even someone as stupid as you should
have noticed that we only get starvation now when the entire country
has imploded in the most obscene levels of civil war and civil chaos.


Wrong again.


Just more mindless shit like your shit above.

It means nothing.  These people have been predicting that oil
would run out since 1890.  Funny thing, the amount of proven
reserves, according to the Society of Petroleum Engineers, is
at an all time high, and has grown every decade since 1890.
We are awash in oil.  Oil is everywhere.  It is so cheap that
it can be drilled for, pumped, transported around the world,
refined, distributed, marketed, and pumped into my car for
about the same price as a bottle of water.  It cannot be
too scarce if it sells for about the same price as water.
