Our collective addiction to oil is at the root of at least six fundamental issues that are adversely affecting our nation and indeed, the entire planet: corporate- driven globalization, global warming, poverty, war, terrorism, and the undue influence of money on the political process. |

PEAK OIL: A TURNING FOR MANKIND by Colin Campbell
EXTREME OIL tells of desperate and costly plans to tap what remains of dwindling supplies outside of troubled areas.
Energy Independence - Humanity's choices are getting harder and fewer. The Earth's population has doubled since 1950 and fuel consumption has risen even faster. There has to be a day of reckoning. Many believe it is here already.
The Busby Report - A survival plan to help the UK prepare for when oil runs out. |
“We are almost through the age of oil, it will be just a blip on the long progression of mankind…the question is what kind of future do we bequeath to our grandchildren.” End of the Age of Oil |

Average car trips typically cost over .15 cents per mile in fuel and parts (while gas prices keep going up)! In traffic congested areas where drivers can spend hours in transit each day; --Smart people are beginning to turn to electric scooters, electric bikes and electric cars as an economical way to get to work, school, or anywhere you want! A lite EV (e-bike or scooter, etc.) can easily go over 10 miles at nearly 20 mph at an average cost of about 5 to 10 cents. And remember, you don’t need a special license to operate most Light Electric Vehicles. |

Signs of the Time - A Blog for All Seasons Without question, EVs, NEVs, LEVs, HEVs, eBikes, etc. have each demonstrated their practical appeal, popularity and usefulness in a very convincing way. But what should we make of recent developments that have brought an end to electric car programs run by GM, Ford and Toyota? Is there more to this than meets the eye, and should we be suspicious of Big Oil and the powers that be? Will smaller manufacturers take up the cause now & succeed when it matters? More important, what should we expect when the realization finally strikes home that global oil production has begun its inevitable decline. These are just some of the probing questions we have tried to address at our (almost) daily 'blog' Glass Onion

World oil is transitioning from a market driven by consumer demand to one limited by producer capacity. As a result, oil exporting countries are now able to control the price and the availability of an increasingly scarce commodity. We have a new reality. If Islamic fanatics have their way, the oil spigot will be turned off. They believe (correctly) that oil is a weapon of war. So it doesn’t matter how much oil sits under the ground in some pool of reserves. What really matters is how much oil can we actually produce? And that takes us to Saudi Arabia. And Iraq. The world’s economy, it seems, teeters on the political stability of these two countries. |
