Peak Oil and Relocalization in Ohio
A new peak oil organization, called Ohio Peak Oil Action (OPOA), is working to prepare the Ohio area for the coming times by promoting relocalization, sustainability, permaculture, and bioregionalism. What would you think if someone told you that we could simultaneously create strong, safe, sustainable, and vibrant communities while also solving the most urgent problems of our times? This is exactly what a growing number of people are talking about. Many call it the “Relocalization” movement.
Facing reality in Derrick Jensen's "End Game"
We're at the point at which even if the alleged "dream" of beauty contestants everywhere, "World Peace," were to come tomorrow, to the Mideast, to Chechnya, to India-Pakistan, everywhere, we'd still be doomed. We're running out of the oil, the drug that's killing us, but we've made no real plans for a survivable "detox." As with everything else, we try not to think about our dwindling supply, or we tell ourselves that "they" (you know, "them," the ones who addicted us in the first place) will come up with a cleaner, safter drug, a "renewable" fix that will keep us high forever.
The price of crude can only rise while supplies dwindle worldwide
Crude oil has reached a point where the skeptics of yore have become the proselytes of tomorrow, readying the world when crude tops $100 per barrel. That day is not far away though few saw it coming. Only just six years back, crude was hawked off for as low as $10 per barrel, when producers pumped out whatever they could for hard currency in the aftermath of a serpentine financial crisis that slithered its way from Mexico to East Asia, emptying national coffers in the process.
Petroleum: Why We'll Never Run Out
"Last week's newscast? Actually, it was 1924, and the President was Calvin Coolidge. An interesting story that proves little, except that scare stories about oil shortages have been around longer than any of us. My first experience with oil scares was in grade school in the mid 1970s, where legions of well-meaning teachers taught us the planet had "30 years" of oil remaining. Those years have come and gone, and oil reserves have actually grown larger - fifty years worth or more. So much, in fact, that doomsayers have been forced to fall back on discredited old theories such as 'Peak Oil'."
