Poll #1299803 Hubbert's Peak??
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 0

Do you believe Hubbert's Peak is [true] or [false]?

According to the film The End of Suburbia (which you can watch on YouTube), the world has reached Peak Oil. What is Peak Oil?  According to www.autonomousgeographies.org/glossary, Peak Oil refers to the peak of the entire planet’s oil production.  What does this mean for us homo sapiens? Lots of things, but the big kahuna of them all is that we wont be able to use many of our mechanics once we are out of oil.  You may wonder why we cant just make new machines that dont run on oil.  The problem is that oil is required to build new things.

Its true!
    Watch the end of suburbia! its enlightening.
       "The greatest misallocation of resources in the history of the world.  America took all of its post-war wealth and invested it in a living arrangement that has no future."(movie)
      "Cheap oil is the party we have been enjoying for the past 150 years, and that party is coming to an end within our lifetime..."(movie)
   "Scientific conclusion of the best paid, most widely-respected geologists, psysicists, bankers and investors in the world"(lifeaftertheoilcrash)
  the bell curve


the peak of the curve coincides with the point at which 50% of our oil has been depleted.
if the peak were in 2005, then oil production in 2030 will be the same as it was in 1980.
the oil usage in 2030 will be significantly higher than in 1980 for several reasons. (population, industrialization)

Solutions:

i have recently started a trial forum for selling homemade things. It would be just as easy to put them on Etsy, but im a nerd who likes forums and thinks it would be nice to have a more personal atmosphere for the shop. Yarnish is the name of the 'business,' and it deals mainly in crocheted goods, but i have also been pondering on adding sub-categories for different kinds of art. The makers of the product are
Kusuriurii and myself. And here is the link for Yarnish. Its currently a very very dead forum, but im hoping that i can get its heart to start thumping soon. =] Even if youre not interested in purchasing anything, swing on by and maybe add a comment somewhere. Any help is appreciated. ^_^
