Fossil Fuels in 338 Seconds

Do you want a really quick introduction to fossil fuels, energy use, economics, ecological issues and global warming?

Here it is - 200 years of past and guesses about the next 100 years:



Well worth watching.

Max Keiser on Peak Oil

No, don't leave this page yet. Although this segment is nominally produced under the name of Max Keiser, the content is actually good with comments from Udall, Hirsch, Kunstler & Schindler (EWG).



Issues covered are: depletion of peak oil, markets, role of energy in economy, EVs & politics. 12 minutes. Well worth it.

Favourite takeaway: "There will be no quick fixes."

Can Oil Production Meet Rising Global Demand?

You've heard it from the geologists, from the oil engineers and the people studying energy systems.

Now, it's time to hear it from (for) the policy wonks.

Can Oil Production Meet Rising Global Demand? 

The video, all one and a half hours of it, contains multiple testimonies on Capitol Hill about Peak Oil and the coming oil crunch.

Will this have an impact?

Hardly, as the Department of Energy and Military Peak Oil Reports show, people who need to know already know. People who don't know, this is too difficult a subject emotionally for them to grasp.

Also, if you view the audience in the Q&A session there are no congresspeople and certainly no senators.

If you only view one snippet, start at 00:45:00 with Bob Hirsch. Runs for about 10 minutes. Well worth the time as a good summary, if you are new to the subject.
