A perspective on the recent peak oil conference
Not a whole lot new in this link. But I like the way it's written, especially the part about the delegate at the conference laughing so hard he had to hold onto the table. link

And expecially that: "This is not for the press". We are really all on ourselves.

by **Chichis** » Tue 08 Jun 2004, 14:13:00

Yeah, what the hell is that line. Is he basically saying, "the people are the world can't know this."?

by **MattSavinar** » Tue 08 Jun 2004, 16:37:04

The two most disturbing comments were:
1. Matt Simmons saying oil should be at $182/Barrel today!
2. Colin Campbell saying the real figures should not be released or it would cause the market to crash, which would serve no one.

I've read (don't remember where, sorry) that Osama after the Saudi bomb stated that the real price of oil should be 140-150 $ per barrel, and those princes in Arabia are giving away their heritage for nuts.

Here's another link that mentions the recent conference. Again, not much new, but I like the way he writes. link

Conference in DC: Saudi Arabia in Crisis.
Might be some interesting info coming out of this. I hope they post a transcript of the panel discussions. link

It looks very unpleasant for the house of Saud.With thousands of princes scrabbling for the throne, it could get very nasty over there and if so, the oil exports will stop until they sort out who gets the top dog position.

Whoops, top camel position, the arabs hate dogs, filthy beasts! :oops:

With oil allready at $40 per barrel, if there is a civil war in Saudi arabia, the price will shoot up much higher.

Prepare for a cold, dark winter. :cry:

Yeah - looks really interesting but without my employer paying I won't be attending. Any idea's how one can get invited or attend on the cheap?

by **Metronome** » Tue 24 Aug 2004, 14:55:52

This is excellent news!

The arm-chair politicians are finally invited to look at Peak Oil more clearly then ever. Although maybe I shouldn't say that... I'm certain there will be experts or very valuable people there. Hopefully, it will be sucessful!

I wish I could go there... Too bad it costs 1350 Euros to participate. Plus airfare and everything.

Too bad it costs 1350 Euros to participate

Cha Ching!

Get a press pass, their not as expensive as you think.... :wink:

(the wink thats not a wink)

Vaht? Let peons like us in on the "big secret" w/o a nice contribution? :roll:

Arron,

wann ist das conferance in Amerika? I'm ermüdete vom Hören von von nur Europa, die Testikel zu haben, um die Wahrheit zu sagen :!:

by **Aaron** » Tue 24 Aug 2004, 15:57:42

Ich stimme mit Ihnen überein. Amerikanisch Politik macht ähnliche Ereignisse schwierig.

Bah, I can't speak german. :D

Unless the organizers are prepared to table a far more constructive agenda for this conference, for instance one that integrates climate destabilization into projections of peak-oil economic turbulence, plus a survey of potential sustainable energy development-rates, it looks like a waste of aviation fuel and just more gratuitous pollution.

What can be discussed at such a meeting that can't be posted here ?

My mouth is still open after reading this article! link

First, there is declining oil intensity. Consumption has been falling for the last 30 years. Today, in relative terms, it is half the level it was in the 1970s. That trend will continue.

He said that the oil age would not end because the world runs out of oil. Rather, oil will be phased down as environmental considerations, like concerns about global warming and greenhouse gas, take hold and alternative fuels are phased in.

by **jato** » Thu 09 Sep 2004, 00:01:51

Wow! What is going on in this article? Consumption has been falling for the last 30 years? WTF?

the use of hydrogen will ultimately be the major energy source in 50 years' time. Warren pointed out, however, that oil and gas would be needed to produce the hydrogen.

So oil will be the source and hydrogen the carrier! Why didn't they just say so?!? Isn't 50 years a little late?

However Shell's scenarios do not see a significant rise in renewable energy and hydrogen fuels in the next 30 years.

We are screwed then!

The gap between declining oil proportions and the rise of hydrogen, Warren suggests, will be bridged by natural gas.

Wow, hard to do natural gas is declining in North America!
