its the inverse actually. Oil distribution is proportional to GDP because america/opec controls the oil trade and the dollar is the global reserve currency so only nations which produce for the empire are allowed to receive oil unhindered through american patrolled global sea lanes.

Oil products are needed in everything, and is part of a significant chunk of the GDP.

See pic. In the video it is explained at 27:00

OPEC overestimated their capacity. Russia announce their peak oil last year. China thinks according to their models peak oil was 2018.

We don't need to switch to one energy source. We can switch to natural gas, biofuels, wind, solar, tidal, nuclear, and hydro. A concerted effort and 10 years of full-population ascetic-maxing in soviet-union quality of life should do the trick.

Electric trucks are really hard to do: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJ8Cf0vWmxE because the unladen truck is too heavy because of battery weight and makes it expensive to carry its own weight.

When did /biz/ get peak oil pilled? There was namefag on pol but he got permabanned everytime he started schizo posting. The first peak was the 2008 crash. Then shale came to the rescue. Then Saudis opened the taps to crush shale. Now Saudis are running low, which is why they are re-aligning geopolitically. Billions will starve to death. Most edible species of animals within reach of humans will be hunted to extinction because without oil, it is impossible to grow enough food to feed the global population.

The stagnant west cant build many more. Countries with a young workforce and the political will can build many more though.

The amount of fuel needed depends on the reactor design. Current once-through open cycle light water reactors are pretty fuel hungry, but the new Gen 4, closed fuel cycle reactors could theoretically recycle and reprocess fuel for 90+ years. Probably closer to 30 in practice.

we are unlikely to see peak oil in our lifetimes, but even if we do, being unable to raise yearly production ever again does not stop there still being very high yearly production. and as it gently slides towards zero, it lights a fire under society to have a working alternative for energy. and that alternative is going to be fission. uranium-fueled nuclear power.

the less oil we have, the less of an economy we have and the less things are possible.

in particular food production is going to fall.

the end result will be the deaths of all the people who only exist because of the extra food provided by fossil fuels.

Peak oil is a meaningless term as well. Peak oil will be when there is nothing left to drill to increase production. We are not there. We could be close.

I don't care about the environment. Fuck the ecofascists.

We are looking for a fundamental free market explanation for why oil prices are high.

And it goes beyond just a bullwhip effect due to COVID-19.

My argument is that many non-globohomo countries like Russia and China have already admited they are past peak oil. They know even USA finds it expensive to drill. 1 unit of shale oil only gives enough energy to drill 2 units of shale oil. 1 unit of venezuelan tar sands oil only gives enough energy to drill 2.5 units of tar sands oil.

Back in 1930 during the last depression, 1 unit of oil was able to drill 100 units of oil. Gone are those days of efficiency.

That is why we can't blame companies for not burning even more of their capital to drill more.

In 1997 the peak oil prediction seemed to fail because we invented shale oil mining.

Although 1 unit of shale oil only could mine 2 units of shale oil, we let it happen because there was cheaper alternative.

Now we are fucked because even shale oil mining has peaked long before COVID-19.

We've already seen that when gas prices start to get high, the green-in-name-only people (like Biden) backpaddle. If Trump or someone like him were to come into power and cut all the red tape, we'd have an abundance of energy. When people realize how dependent they actually are on cheap energy, and how much it hurts not to have it, they'll change their political leanings.

>The Green River Formation, which covers parts of Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming, has the largest known oil shale deposits in the world, holding from 1.5 to 1.8 trillion barrels of oil. Of that, roughly 800 billion barrels are recoverable—more than triple Saudi Arabia's proven oil reserves. Present U.S. demand for petroleum products is about 20 million barrels per day, so 800 billion barrels would last for more than 400 years if oil shale could be used to meet a quarter of that demand.

Well yeah you still need like 60% baseload power or something like that.

For example you leave your car plugged in overnight and it charges off surplus wind energy produced at night, drive to work the next day, and when you get home and plug it in again it powers your home air conditioner for about an hour before recharging again overnight. So "smart grids' and electric vehicles can improve green energy efficiency.

"Everything I can see says that world leaders are not able to face the possibility that the world is already running seriously short of oil and coal. Future supplies are likely to be much lower, and much more expensive, if they are available at all. Other energy types (including natural gas, nuclear, hydroelectric, wind and solar) are simply add-ons to a system built using coal and oil.

Current world leaders do not realize that the energy situation is very much like the water level in Lake Mead. Looking at it from the top, there still seems to be water there but, in fact, the required depth is lacking. Water for watering crops will soon be exhausted. The world’s energy supply is not a whole lot different. The supposedly proven reserves do not tell us anything at all. It is the amount of fossil fuels that can be affordably extracted that is important. We have already exceeded the amount that can be affordably extracted. If central banks cut back future energy supplies using higher interest rates, we can expect to encounter major problems going forward."

There’s a book called “Limits to Growth” which argues that if things go on without changing, civilization collapses in 2040 as we’ll exhaust multiple resources (oil, chromium, aluminum, etc.) by then. In that case, billions will die.

The alternative is transitioning the economy away from a growth mindset and towards a sustainable mindset. Inside of profit and growth the aim becomes providing for the needs and wants of the people.

Fracking gives us access to the other 80% of oil that's trapped on this misbegotten rock, and it also generally frees up enough natural gas to self-power the industry with excess to sell. What we're experiencing now is the bear trap for oil. You will cope by saying (accurately) that shale's EROI is lower than conventional wells. However, this is cope because peak oil is about resource depletion at any cost, not resource depletion at specific economic inflections.

I think if things go the way they are projected to, the elite are doomed. Complex society itself is doomed, and that includes even China. In this future, we see total collapse for a few centuries and then out of the ashes will emerge civilizations which have a pre-industrial level of tech.

But I don’t think peak oil is necessary the end. Peak oil is not “no oil” and there will be enough of it to supply our manufacturing/chemical needs for some time, enough for a transition period. What needs to happen is this.

1. Population needs to drop. The aim should be for a global fertility rate of <1.5. Promote family planning, feminism and contraception, especially in Africa.
2. Strict reduction of consumption in the industrialized parts of the world, especially the West.
3. Investment into recycling technologies, mining of landfills, ocean water, etc. The need is to make civilization as sustainable as possible in terms of metals, chemicals, etc, with the end goal of a close system with respect to these things.
4. Buildup of long term power solutions like solar and wind. Look into stuff like thorium reactors as well. If civilization is less energy intensive, these things can supply civilization.

It’s possible in theory. In practice is a different matter.

The personal breakdown of energy use for a typical person is

40% your car
40% your house
20% consumption choices

So, where do you cut? the flat, global target is -90%. Is it possible? Yes.

>Ride a bike: -40%
>Go veg: -15%

That leaves -35%, so how do you reduce your home energy use by 87%? That might be the hardest because developers don't give af about efficiency and they want to sell you 250% more house than you actually need, ie "single family home"

You increase the R-value of the insulation. You lower the thermostat. You eliminate parasitic electrical loads. You switch off natural gas appliances and air conditioning. You stop "mowing the lawn". None of this stuff is necessary.

>at this point morons start talking about other people and how they won't comply with the necessary sacrifices because of their special case (Fat, can't walk) or (congenitally unable to digest anything but red meat) or (whatever)

The basic problem with Chris Martenson is he's a dumb fuck Conspira-tard and a self-promoter.

Peak Oil is real; many of the statistics are real, but his conclusions are pure projection.

There is a lot of appeal to the notion that the zoomer future is already written, and written off. Because then, no one has to do anything! This is very appealing to a lot of people.

My own predictions are as good as Chris's:

>Ya, da gubbmints won't help things and we will tilt into cyclical global depressions (as opposed to cyclical recessions)
>Ya, fossil fuel prices go up
>Boomers WILL die off

These things will destroy demand. But Zoomers will NOT roll over and die. Unlike Boomers all they really require is a bit of food and water and an actual lifestyle.

It comes down to this, there are two kinds of people: people who are going to keep living, and people who are going to keep living after going broke

Yes, but now we have to deal with growing government tyranny on top of everything else.

I'm not sure there is a good strategy unless you have a lot of money to buy good and isolated land + all the materials, supplies and tools you need.
Even then.. what, you just live out your lives in isolation as the world burns? Your kids grow old alone on some little, hidden plot of land?

the lifestyle they have will actually be amazing. If you think about it for more than 5 minutes, you'll realize that subtracting the disinter-mediating factors of contemporary "lifestyles" means greater complexity of local relationships and interactions, and greater inherent meaning in those relationships as distances, in other words, the world beyond social media, phones, and cars, and all the disconnections of impersonal flows of capital goods and services.

Right now all that shit is contained within the conventional model of commerce, and dominated by corporations extracting rent from these processes. What will happen is that profit eroded until it is unviable and the economic system will reorganize around new imperatives.

Amateurs will never grow meaningful amounts of calories without instruction but it is possible. The problem is most "gardeners" have no idea what they are doing. It doesn't matter, 'gardening' anywhere and everywhere is not a serious thing, it is a hobby for stupid people and kind of the best outlet to contain the damage they will do to the earth. Let them all spread wood chips over plastic sheets, build a lumber pile of planter boxes, hang string, and learn nothing and make no effective calories.
