Is it time for the government to be honest about Peak Oil and the declining world oil production?

World oil production has already peaked and will fall by half as soon as 2030, according to a report which also warns that extreme shortages of fossil fuels will lead to wars and social breakdown.
“The world soon will not be able to produce all the oil it needs as demand is rising while supply is falling. This is a huge problem for the world economy,” said Hans-Josef Fell, EWG’s founder and the German MP behind the country’s successful support system for renewable energy.

Mexico has just recently came clean and admitted they are headed into an oil crisis and the peso steadily falls against the dollar.

One would think this issue would have been handled….oh….back in 1973. However, a total lack of political will has left the US in a precarious position. Other countries – especially in Europe – are consistently moving away from individual transportation (the auto) to mass transit. But here, because our political system is owned by corporate concerns, we keep on driving like there is no tomorrow. But soon enough we will rue our folly. Biofuel won’t help. Tar sands and oil shale – won’t even come close. We are in for a world of hurt very very soon. Read the link. It’s bad.

Rational Exuberance for Renewable Energy $129 "Rational Exuberance for Renewable Energy" is a beyond-the-hype account of the underlying issues that encourage or plague widespread dissemination of renewable energy (RE) technologies. Renewable energy operates in the real world, and it cannot be assumed that the conventional theories and incentive structures of economics and business do not apply. The author argues that grants and subsidies could be provided to support research, development and technology improvement efforts, but should not be employed as an instrument of state policy to intervene in specific markets. It is important to recognize that although investors often demonstrate an appetite for market risk, they find technology risks and policy uncertainty much less appealing. "Rational Exuberance for Renewable Energy" blends classical economic theory with the everyday realities of the RE industry to identify incentive structures contributing to the success – or otherwise – of project implementation involving renewable sources and appropriate technologies. This book is a compilation of articles that analyze individual RE technologies, and offer multiple perspectives of the RE industry and markets. "Rational Exuberance for Renewable Energy" is intended for policy makers, advanced students of energy economics and sustainable development, and for potential mainstream investors.

Materials Challenges in Alternative and Renewable Energy $132 This useful, one-stop resource for understanding the most important issues in materials challenges in alternative and renewable energy.

The Renewable Revolution $34.95 Our environment and society is threatened by fuel shortages, a changing climate and energy wars. In our race for survival we are awakened to the simple truth that the essential condition of sustainability lies in our ability to live within the limits and renewability of natural resources. It invokes within us an urgent need for transition from an obsolete, destructive and unsustainable energy path to a sustainable path of innovation, renewable energy and peace. The good news is that the technology required to make this transition is already available. From an author with over 30 years' experience campaigning for and setting up renewable energy projects around the world, this book is unique for its interdisciplinary approach-interweaving technology, economics, environmental science, philosophy, history, spirituality and politics, asserting that to understand the crisis and find a sustainable solution requires a holistic perspective. Readers will understand the vast renewable resource we have at our disposal in the form of solar, wind, water, heat and biogas, and the technologies used to harness this power. There are also the emerging prospects of solar hydrogen fuel cells, biofuels and geothermal. The true economic advantages of a shift to a renewables-based economy (and how we can get there) are also laid out clearly. There's much to learn from examples around the world while we devise local and appropriate solutions. Written for a crossover readership of students, educators, professionals, academics, activists and policymakers, both nationally and internationally, this is a comprehensive but readable and practical book that will inspire readers to wake others up to our renewable solutions.
