What on Earth Are These? World Energy Use World Population World Economic Output
Converting Heat to Work Since pre-history we knew how to: Work Heat Industrial Revolution to: Work Heat
Newcomen’s Steam Engine ~1712
Revolutionary Change Transforms economy: textile production increases 150 fold and prices drop 90% Transforms place: cities grow from 5% to 50% Transforms family: parents leave home to work Redimensions world: steam ship and railroad Technology and population explode
Economic Explosion From , per capita US/Europe income grows from $600 to $18,000 per year Increases 30x!
Energy Revolution Creates Modern World
Single Most Important Event in Human History
We’ve Come a Long Way… Newcomen’s steam engine: 0.5% Watt’s steam engine: 1% Gasoline engines: 30% Coal Rankine cycles: 35% Turbines: 40% Diesel engines: 50% Combined-cycle turbine/Rankine engines: 60%
But Energy Conversion Largely Unchanged… 1. Use hydrocarbon fossil fuels 2. Employ combustion to release heat CH 4 +2 (O 2 ) = CO 2 +2 (H 2 0) 3. Convert heat to work via thermal expansion

Extreme Oil “Oil sands and offshore drilling are both symptoms of the same problem: We’re running out of easy oil.” Simon Dyer
Canada’s Oil Sands Total resource ~ Saudi Arabia; #1 source of imported oil for US (22%) GHG production from processing 400% greater than domestic oil, but well-to-wheel increase 5% - 15% greater Surface mining (20%): Strip earth’s surface for black goo called bitumen; 2 tons of sand / barrel oilbitumen 1 barrel bitumen generates 500 gallons of liquid tailings Tailing ponds cover 50 square miles; 3 million gallons/day leak into surrounding watershed 1,600 waterbirds died in a single tailing pond In situ mining (80%): Inject natural gas-heated steam into wells to drive bitumen to surface Blend bitumen with natural gas liquids to transport and process

Consequences of Peak Fuel Rising demand and falling supply rapidly increases fuel prices Rising demand and falling supply rapidly increases fuel prices Rising fuel prices reduce expendable income and cause recessions Rising fuel prices reduce expendable income and cause recessions Rising fuel prices drain fuel importing economies and increase trade deficits Rising fuel prices drain fuel importing economies and increase trade deficits Competition for dwindling supply increase national security risks Competition for dwindling supply increase national security risks Rising fuel prices support undemocratic regimes (Russia, Middle East, Venezuela, etc.) Rising fuel prices support undemocratic regimes (Russia, Middle East, Venezuela, etc.)
