Peak Oil- Preparing for Energy Decent
Energy availability is set to start declining inside a decade with the onset
of the peak in global oil production and soon after the peak in global gas
production. Global oil production may already be at maximum capacity,
levelling off before the inevitable rapid decline. Our whole way of life in
the modern, industrial/post industrial Western world is reliant on cheap,
abundant oil and gas. Is the war in Iraq related to securing the last of the
abundant hydrocarbon energy reserves? Why is an event of this importance not
widely understood? What about alternative energy sources? The realities of
peak oil are starting to emerge into mainstream media and policy making
circles. Find out the facts on energy availability, how energy decent will
effect your life, what you can do about it and the prospects for Byron Shire
and beyond. A list of information sources and resources will be available at
the talk.
