1. Homework due Monday Nov 7
On the video “Crude Awakening” (shown & discussed today and Wed)
and Lecture on Friday
Exam (Ch 1-14 & Peak Oil) is on Wed Nov 9.
Individual part will be done on Laulima so bring laptop computers.

2. Acting on climate change (and peak oil) is against human instinct
Acting on climate change (and peak oil) is against human instinct. Humans react to P.A.I.N.S.

Renewable Energy:
Ultimately comes from the sun
Advantage:
-No CO2 pollution!
-Good adaptation to Peak Oil
Challenges:
-Currently relatively expensive
-Variable and irregular
-Require huge changes in
infrastructure
-Require huge amounts of copper, & other mineral resources
Why is it so difficult for the world to act to address climate change?

more than 80% of U.S. energy is from fossil fuels

5. Peak Oil Learning Objectives Origin of Energy
World Population in Billions
Peak Oil
Learning Objectives
Origin of Energy
1) I can describe where Earth’s energy comes from, how oil was produced, and why it is considered non-renewable.
Importance of Fossil Fuels
2) I can list the uses of oil and examples of why it is so valuable.
3) I can recall how energy production has related to world population, and economic productivity.
The Problem
4) I can explain Peak Oil and why cheap energy is coming to an end.
5) I can describe why recognizing and acting on peak oil is counter to human instincts, as well as our economic and political system.
Future Solutions and Challenges
6) I can judge an energy resource based on (1) its energy returned on energy invested (EROEI), (2) its efficiency to transport and store, (3) its reliability, and (4) its dependence on other finite resources.

Origin of Energy
LO 1: I can describe where Earth’s energy comes from, how oil was produced, and why it is considered non-renewable.
3:34 Colin Campbell, Oil Geophysicist and consultant to Exxon-Mobil & Shell said the oil on Earth was created in two brief moments in geologic history, during periods of intense global warming. When were those?
In the Cenozoic 10,000 and 40,000 years ago
In the Mesozoic 90 and 150 million years ago
In the Paleozoic 400 and 500 million years ago
In the Archean 3.5 and 3.8 billion years ago
The more complete account of world oil:
20% Cenozoic (since 65 Myrs ago)
70% Mesozoic (90 and 150 Myrs)
10% Paleozoic

Importance of Fossil Fuels
LO 2: I can list the uses of oil and examples of why it is so valuable.
1 barrel of oil, which can cost as little as $1 to produce and now costs $50, yields as much energy as...
a dozen people working all day long
a dozen people working all year
a dozen people working 10 years
25,000 hours of human labor
2,500 hours of human labor
How much is that worth at Hawaii’s minimum wage of $8.50/hr?
$212,500 for the work of 1 barrel of oil.
That’s like $11,185 per gallon of gas.
Oil boosts our efficiency 4250 times!

Importance of Fossil Fuels
LO 2: I can list the uses of oil and examples of why it is so valuable.
What is the Green Revolution of the 1960’s?
The first wide-scale use of organic agriculture
The boost of the U.S. dollar (“greenback”) and energy production
The boost of food production from technological advances in irrigation, farm machinery, hybrid seeds, and synthetic pesticides and fertilizers
The boost in gecko population in Hawaii

Importance of Fossil Fuels
LO 2: I can list the uses of oil and examples of why it is so valuable.
How much energy from oil is required to produce a calorie of food we eat?
1 calorie of food takes 1 calorie of energy from oil
1 calorie of food takes 10 calories of energy from oil
1 calorie of food takes 100 calories of energy from oil
1 calorie of food takes 1000 calories of energy from oil
What would happen to a people of hunter and gatherers if they spent more energy getting food than the calories they ate?

What is suspicious of these reported reserves?

The Problem
LO5:I can explain Peak Oil and why cheap energy is coming to an end.
Which of these is NOT true about Peak Oil
A peak in oil production follows a peak in oil discoveries
Oil production peaks when there is no more oil left on Earth
M. King Hubbert rightly predicted the peak in U.S. oil production in 1970
Peak oil production depends on how easy oil is to extract and thus relates to cost
There’s a good chance that the world will never produce more oil from the time that Saudia Arabia’s production peaks.
