OIL IS A FOSSIL FUEL….. ALSO NATURAL GAS & COAL
7
FOSSIL FUEL COMBUSTION The combustion of all fossil fuels follows a very similar reaction: Fuel (any hydrocarbon source) plus oxygen yields carbon dioxide and water and energy. Natural gas (methane) is the cleanest burning fossil fuel. Coal and oil, the other fossil fuels, are more chemically complicated than natural gas, and when combusted, release a variety of potentially harmful air pollutants. Fossil Fuels

OIL REFINING

"When fossil fuels deeply altered humanity's means of obtaining sustenance from the Earth, everything about human society changed – from child rearing to politics; from cultural myths to personal dreams.“ "even those of us who have been thinking about resource depletion for many years are still just beginning to awaken to its full implications". R. Heinberg IMPACT OF FOSSIL FUELS

& Consequences PEAK OIL
11
DOCUMENTARIES 2004 2006 Using "peak oil" as its underlying assumption, this documentary builds a case for suggesting that the suburban lifestyle is unsustainable. The further assumption is that one-person or one-family vehicles will always be gas powered and gas guzzling. The film critically examines the wisdom -- or folly -- of constructing an entire civilization on the expectation that there will always be plenty of cheap fuel for combustion ….examines the journeys of several individuals who have fled or are in the process of fleeing from civilization. It highlights how they are building new lives and new subcultures which offer the possibilities of deepened humanity and sustainability. produced and edited by Barry Silverthorn written and directed by Greg Greene
12
theories of peak oil built on work of Dr. M. King Hubbert geoscientist at Shell did most of his work in 1950s -’60s theory says that for any limited resource, production follows a more-or-less bell-shaped curve Extraction process becomes more difficult over time HUBBERT’S PEAK
14
U.S. passed its "peak oil" point back in the early 1970's Now imports about two-thirds (2/3) of its oil. The U.S. economy and the current American way of life is supported by energy from other nations DEPENDENCY ON OIL

THE CONSEQUENCES OF INACTION….
28
In a non-petroleum situation the economy again centers around food and other basic needs. Is agriculture back at the heart of economics in a post peak oil world? THINK ABOUT FOOD PRODUCTION….
29
“But, as humanity, we have managed without oil (and fossil fuels) before. And there are places where they still do (or do so again). And it doesn't necessarily mean that we live less happy and less healthy lives there.” Rudy Dhont, KHLeuven, April 2010 Also See Addicted to Oil Parts 3, 4, 5 Herman Daly (one of the founding fathers of ecological economics) said: "This is not the end of progress or civilization, but the beginning of intelligent thinking". WE CAN ACCEPT THE CHALLENGE
