[The Oil Drum - Discussions about Energy and Our Future] DrumBeat: May 9, 2008: Talk to a poor mother trying to fill her oil tank through a northern winter, or to a fisherman paying $6,000 in diesel fuel costs to get to and from Georges Bank, to a South American peasant thrown off his land to make room for “palm oil for biofuel” plantations, or to a native Athabascan woman watching as Alberta tar sands operations lay waste to formerly pristine ecosystems over an area the size of Florida.
[EZ READING MONEY MATTERS] Mexico Cuts Oil Exports To US: China is also a world leader in solar thermal production and use, accounting for 55 percent of global solar heating capacity (excluding pool systems)””or 52 million square meters of collectors””by the end of 2003, reports Worldwatch Institute senior researcher Janet Sawin in Vital Signs 2005. China aims to boost its production capacity of one specific type of collector, solar heat panels, to 51 million square meters by the end of 2005, which would make it the world leader in solar heat panel production, according to an official from the National Engineering Research Center for Renewable Energy.
[The Oil Drum - Discussions about Energy and Our Future] DrumBeat: May 6, 2008: The point is, which one will take actions that will lead to your standard of living being lowered the least?" That we all, especially yourself for providing the platform in the first place, are busilly trying to get this very important point across to our fellows--that we will have to do more with less, an admittedly doublethink position I think possible as it's clear the Europeans can so why can't we?

[The Oil Drum - Discussions about Energy and Our Future] DrumBeat: May 7, 2008: I have hypothecated only around half the population having access, and not necessarily to the levels of today, so you are talking about 25-50GW out of a total capacity on the grid of around 1,000GW, which would be available anyway in the deep recession implied by $400 oil, or wind power could easily provide it.
[Untitled] Peak oil: Non-OPEC supplies ”˜dead in the water’: A central reason that oil supplies are not rising much is that major producers outside the OPEC cartel, like Russia, Mexico and Norway, are showing troubling signs of sluggishness. Unlike OPEC, whose explicit goal is to regulate the supply of oil to keep prices up, these countries are the free traders of the oil market, with every incentive to produce flat-out at a time of high prices.
[The Oil Drum - Discussions about Energy and Our Future] DrumBeat: May 4, 2008: Monday night Weiss and other council members will discuss the creation of a local peak oil task force that will study how ever-increasing fuel prices and the potential for decreasing oil production will affect the local economy, government and the public.
[revolutionradio.org] Sleepwalking Toward the Oil Precipice: If the foregoing isn’t alarming enough, consider that substantial increases in OPEC production in the coming decade would require major contributions from Iraq, Nigeria and Venezuela, now that we know that a 12.5 mmb/d production capacity from the Saudis is all we’re going to get. (All links are to past ASPO-USA columns.) Prospects for large production increases from these three countries is unlikely for reasons peculiar to each.

[The Oil Drum - Discussions about Energy and Our Future] DrumBeat: April 30, 2008: OPEC is certainly aware of the USGS World Petroleum Assessment (2000), and the analyses of these results, as well as ExxonMobil’s projection of a non-OPEC production peak by 2010 and the extensive discussion of petroleum resources in trade journals and the popular press. Thus, the reasons for not publicly engaging in this debate must be found outside the rational business of drilling wells, building pipelines and refineries, and making market forecasts.
