Peak oil energy alternatives

January 5, 2009 in Solar Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

My opinion on energy alternatives to peak oil. (sorry don’t have time for a “deep” video at the moment). I’ve been busy with a few projects but hope to get back to making more frequent videos in a few months.

Keywords: peak oil conventional tar sands heavy oil venezuela canada russia opec saudi arabia natural gas ctl coal ngl nuclear solar wind thermal tidal conservation environment ethanol war decline starvation adapt gasoline

    One star will do!
    Unfortunately I’ll have to flag you, fucking oil speculator! Go choke on a cock!

    what about geothermal?

    i heard there is enough oil in alaska to keep us going until we’re alllll dead! but theyre not letting on about how much they have.. also, hydrogen based fuels are cleaner and farrrrrrr more efficient.. we’ve had that decnology for decades, but big oil doesnt want it to happen

  4. FATCACAK Says:

    i’ll provide the methane!!! i have methane creating digester!!!!

    If you believe in alternative energy options, whether or not peak oil is real gets sidestepped. It is like finger pointing at moon; while concentrating on finger, you miss out on all that heavenly glory. LOL

    Alcohol from biomass is a viable alternative that has been suppressed by the rich. Read ‘Alcohol can be a Gas’ by David Blume

    I am working on a Methane digester to run a engine!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Somewhere I read that the hemp plant can be used to produce a form of gasoline. Do you know anything about this? Also, if everybody starts using nuclear energy, isn’t there also nuclear waste we have to worry about?

    unconventional oil sands also freeze in the winter.
    Problem.

    peak oil is bogus. We are forced to consume low grade fuel such as natural gas, coal and oil. Currently science is sqeuwed towards fossil fuel. Fossil fuel is a bogus. It is controlled by the elite and is tool for them and the bankers. There is little dicussion about about renewable energy. The reason is it is difficult to control and is a decentralized. Ethanol fuel is very good. The science about it is false and supports fosil fuels. There are aspects of agrow fuel will be overcome if allowed

    When it comes to speculation we tried to get rid of the speculators of the onion market a few decades back. You may ask what happened; well the onion farmers begged for speculators to come back.

    is not a lie that some oil copanies hide some huge massive oil field to the goverment
    and when they tell to the goverment the appereance of the oilfield the say taht is tar, and it is not profitable to the exploitation

  13. asnoldo Says:

    of it…. u might know cubo isnt a oil country and we have the cmpny of cuba operating a block of the orinoco tar belt, u might know as well that some foreign companies, such as exxon mobil, conoco, etc harm and do not tell the truth to the state oil company, and then Cahvez take off the conssession of the operation oil-gas fields on the oriental basin of venezuela
    conoco as far i know is re-trying to get another contract to operate , and chevron doesnt want to take realtions again

  14. asnoldo Says:

    a lot production space to small companies that-as you might know- dont exploit the field very well, and only damage the production ratio

  15. asnoldo Says:

    enough estability to produce, or at least get the technology to start the production, the problem main it self ius that the goverment is giving

  16. asnoldo Says:

    Sir, excellent analisys of the peak of oil and the enrgy, but im from venezuela and im not exactly on the goverment but we do produce oil y¿in the orinoco tar belt, we DO have

    Fusion power is 100 years off. Solar is a good alternative, but you can only power electric cars with it. Personally, I think the future is in algae-derived biofuel, which is cheaper and more efficent than petroleum. Keep in mind is that as alternatives scale up, the demand for oil goes down. Demand goes down as the price goes up, and we’re seeing that now. Most peakers seem to think we’re just going to keep burning through it like maniacs until the end.

  18. voicefromthegrave Says:

    I’m betting solar can sustain most of the grid and transportation in 20-30 years. Also, if we can get sustainable fusion reactors this would create an exponential increase power availability… that technology is probably 40+ years away. Once the energy problem is solved, our technological advancement could go far beyond current human comprehension.

    I got into some beers tonight so after 1 1/2 - 2 minutes I couldn’t listen anymore because you blink so much … I rewound the video and watched it on mute and counted 443 blinks in 9 1/2 minutes …but again … I’m drunk so I could be off and also - you have like a wiggy blink where you close and your lids go nuts and I may have double/triple counted those or single counted actual blinks that looked like wiggy blinks. Anyway - Enough wasted time … I’m going to bed!

    I thought you were going to be some kind of a kook but you came off as thoughtful and informed. I like to say that you don’t move forward by standing still. We, Americans, have been standing still for a long time while the rest of the world has been moving into the 21st Century. We need intelligent dialog followed by informed action.

    Great video commentary. I faved. This is my topic of interest. Peak Oil and the coming great energy crisis is the most important issue of this century. If we do not get this one right, humanity is going to suffer on a scale never before imagined.

  23. lorax2013 Says:

    Yeah, and Germany did it too in WW2 - but only at great expense as a last resort because of oil embargoes in both cases.

  24. lorax2013 Says:

    Backwardization is when the price of a commodity contract in the future is less than the present (spot) price. This means speculators are betting the price will fall.

    Coal to liquids? SASOL has been doing it for decades.
