Peak Oil behind us

now it seems official - the International Energy Agency (IEA) has itself added that the promotion can remain stable for more than a few years before they slip off for good. Comment from Craig Morris

few years ago, Peak Oil was an issue for skeptics and outsiders. Although a few prominent insiders have rung alarm bells with (eg Matthew Simmons, see Peak oil: rising prices, declining production), alleged BP, IEA, and other industrial organizations are well-behaved and calm, the peak'm probably in a few decades. For example, the IEA said in 2009 that peak oil would be reached earlier 2020th

proposed on Tuesday in the IEA World Energy Outlook 2010, however, unexpectedly of a new tone. Now speaks the organization not only openly of Peak Oil (the IEA took the concept so far reluctant to mouth), but provides the same with a graphic that has it all.

You can see clearly that the delivery volume fell slightly, economists would probably point to the decline in consumption during the economic crisis. The graph shows, however, something disturbing: the promotion will no longer appear slightly above the level of 2003-2007, but soon fall even steep. Only when "undeveloped fields are already taking a job right now, we can roughly hold today, slightly depressed levels stable - until only about 2015. Then need to be added "not yet found boxes. Otherwise We have about a generation later, perhaps only half of current production.

For the Energy Watch Group in Berlin, which also warns for years before Peak Oil, will be apparent clear recommendations from the IEA study: "Even a full supply of renewable energy is possible within a few decades, and cheaper than the other consumption petroleum, natural gas, coal and uranium. "

They are right - however, some proponents of renewable energy sources to lean far out of the window when they (as the EEC) indicate that renewables could replace oil. It is true that all produce renewable electricity, not liquid Fuel, except for the biomass, and it is doubtful that as much biofuel can be produced sustainably, as we now consume petroleum. The nuclear power is therefore no substitute dar. There was simply no substitute for oil as fuel.

This means that we will soon have to make do with less oil, but that is yes - better insulated buildings, passive heating, pellet stoves, etc., and finally to the emergency electric heaters. Heat is not the problem. But the electric mobility will be different than our current cars that have virtually unlimited range and can be filled up within minutes. A trip from Berlin to the Atlantic coast at Bordeaux with a tent and family in the combination is becoming increasingly difficult.

is even more difficult navigation. And almost impossible for air travel. There are no alternatives to liquid fossil fuel in sight. You should therefore be prepared for rapidly rising oil prices in your lifetime.
