This does not compute

The International Energy Agency has again warned that the high oil price could strangle hopes for a global economic recovery. It also says that 90% of future growth in oil production has to come from the Mid-East, mostly from Saudi Arabia. Without a $100 billion annual investment in that region, oil prices will exceed $150 a barrel. But Saudi Arabia has just announced it is halting its $100 billion oil expansion program? This does not compute.

For me it just underlies the urgency of our endeavours.

Max Keiser: The Greek debt crisis, Peak Oil and possible outcomes

seemorerocks — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 01:10:55 +0000

The evolving situation in Greece should be holding our attention - certainly more than we are getting in out media - as so much hangs on its outcome.

This week Michael Ruppert interviewed Max Keiser on the background to the debt crisis and how Peak-Oil and "Peak Credit" are interwoven.

I have written an article trying to encapsulate what they talked about as well as provide the most recent footage of the Greek demonstrations.

Inflinite growth paradigm meets end of cheap energy

seemorerocks — Tue, 10 May 2011 23:38:19 +0000

As a non-economist I don't often pay much attention to graphs of economic activity.

However, I saw an article that really caught my attention, so have posted this on my blog www.robinwestenra.blogspot.com

I apologise, I wasn't able to work out how to bring the article with the graph over to this site.

On the right is a banner where you can buy a password to view Nicole Stonleigh's presentation. It costs $12.50 US ($16.30NZ) and for that you can view it unlimited times, but you can't download it.

You probably can, however, give your password to someone else.

Growth is not possible

Anneleise Hall — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 23:01:59 +0000

It was interesting to read today this article published by BBC News today.

A group of researchers in the UK have challenged the "growth is good" model, warning that business as usual will likely lead to catastrophic and irreversible environmental consequences.

The New Economics Foundation (Nef) said "unprecedented and probably impossible" carbon reductions would be needed to hold temperature rises below 2C (3.6F).
