Basics of electricity Current (I, measured in amperes) flows from – to + Voltage (V, measured in volts) reflects the potential difference between a negatively and positively charged material Resistance (R, measured in ohms) prevents flow of electrons; depends on material, distance, and temperature Ohm’s Law: V=R * I Ex: US uses 120V; toaster is 15ohms, so I=120/15 = 8 amps of current going through toaster Power = V * I Voltage fixed at 120V; so toaster has power of 120*8 = 960Watts (joules/s) Energy = P * time (this is what you pay for) Leave toaster on for 30min, then E = 960Watts * 0.5hr = kilowatt hours

voltage resistance current A clever analogy

US Oil Production is in decline; rest of the world to follow, but WHEN?

Peak Oil: not “if”, but “when”

Oil used since 1950 (R=7) Recall T 2 =70/R ?

1ZJ = J Global oil consumption = 0.18 ZJ/yr; so ~80 yrs supply of reserves

Quantifying OPEC oil reserves is a shell game! Nobody knows….
