It is nearly a quarter of a century now since two electro-chemists at the University of Utah held a press conference to announce that they had discovered a new way of extracting energy from the nucleus of an atom. For a few weeks the announcement of what was then termed [...]

You can make a coherent, logical argument for cars that don't burn gasoline without once mentioning global petroleum supply. You can talk about international relations and the power of gasoline exporters (just read the first three paragraphs of this for a bit of ...

The intent was to boost the production of ethanol and other biofuels so the country could reduce its growing dependence on imported oil. At the time, President George W. Bush, a former oilman, complained that the nation was “addicted to oil.” Peak Oil, a ...

Just a few years ago we were talking about peak oil, the slow, painful demise of crude. Now there's talk about a shock wave of new oil supply from North America that's about to slam into global markets. We're in the early stages of a new oil boom here in North ...

City centers--or even cities at all--aren’t where you’ll find the country’s poor anymore. They’re increasingly being forced into the suburbs. In 2004, a documentary called The End of Suburbia predicted that the suburbs were potentially "destined to become the slums of tomorrow" thanks to the impending threat of peak oil

The bad news for this ruse isn't peak oil. It's the fact that for 30 years, they called the hoax "Global Warming". Only to be in a situation where the data shows global COOLING! They changed the name to 'climate change' too late. And whenever my kids come ...

With U.S. oil imports hitting a 17-year low, the mainstream media has awoken to the fact that, as I pointed out three years ago, peak oil is not happening anytime soon.  Charles Mann?s excellent cover story in this month?s Atlantic, ?What If We Never Run Out of Oil?? focuses on an obscure, though potentially vast source of energy: methane hydrates, or crystalline natural gas trapped below the

One does not hear much these days about “peak oil”, as new technologies are developed and implemented that, together with market conditions, make feasible the exploitation of previously uneconomical or irretrievable deposits. A new report by the ...

Although preceded by other doomsayers, the theory of “peak oil” is most frequently associated with “Hubbert's peak,” which argues that oil production rates generally follow a bell-shaped curve, tapering off once infrastructure investment reaches a point of ...

A fresh report from ETF Securities is underpinning oil at $80 and also putting $100 as the implied peak oil price for the foreseeable future. 24/7 Wall St. has been covering this in detail of late, and we even opined why the price of gasoline just cannot rise right ...

No one is questioning the fact that we have either reached or will soon reach “peak oil”; that existing fields are being depleted at the rapid rate of 7 percent a year, and that the search is on for “unconventional oil” as alternative forms of energy are slow to reach ...

EIA states that, although the expected combined peak oil production could be 300,000-350,000 b/d, start-ups scheduled for late 2013 may not reach peak volume until 2014. The following provide additional information about developments expected to ...

Government debt is growing at an unsustainable rate. Increased taxation and regulations calcify the sinews of the economy and monetary distortions threaten to sow the seeds of a future economic calamity. However, many people fear a world bereft of energy ...

Tougher environmental regulations, the end of the Chinese investment boom, structural weakness in developed markets and price-induced substitution effects in favor of alternative energy sources have seen 'peak oil demand' theories gain traction.
