When faced with adversity, one of the strengths of America is our freedom and ability to unite as a people, taking action as needed to guarantee that freedom. It is hoped that this website will generate enough interest for people to think, talk to each other, and take action to change the future. Thanks, in advance, for taking the time to read this information. If you find it helpful, please tell others about it, and send a letter to your representatives in Congress and the Senate. OK, what's the problem? Oil is the problem. Oil is a finite resource.
What does that mean? Think of it this way. Imagine an enormous tank, big enough to hold all the oil in the world. It took millions of years for nature to fill that tank, and nature has stopped making oil. So whatever is in that tank is all we've got. Each year, we keep pumping oil out of that tank, and eventually it will all be gone. Yeah, but we've got hundreds of years left, right? Wrong. Experts can't agree on how much oil is left in the tank. It all depends on their estimates of how much oil has been found, how much oil is "undiscovered", and how much can ultimately be recovered. But all the estimates indicate that the tank is about half empty, and that we will run out of recoverable reserves before the end of this century! "Peak Oil" was once considered a novel theory, but it has recently gained widespread acceptance.
After world oil production peaks, it will decline rapidly as recovery becomes more difficult. By the end of this century, world oil production will be about equal to what it was in the years 1940 to 1950. If you want to check this out for yourself, you can read an assortment of articles by petroleum geologists, the Department of Energy, and other experts. Just click here for World Oil Predictions. Some believe the peak may have already occurred, and civilization as we know it is in dire jeopardy. (See "Life After The Oil Crash") Continue to Page 2 |
