Fossil energy depletion and emission.
by Hakan Falk.

The only possible substitutes for oil and Natural Gas will be expansion of nuclear, coal and renewable energy. Because of armament risks, large scale nuclear with the necessary enrichment, is only an alternative for the developing countries and a few others. The majority of known coal reserves are in US, Russia and developing countries, but is an environmentally dirty and risky energy source. The widely discussed Hydrogen is not and will not be an independent energy source. The alternatives for the majority of the worlds developing countries are Energy efficiency, Biofuels, Hydro, Wind and Solar, this for at least 50 years ahead and when the oil production will be close to the level of 1960. It is no soft landing available and the developed countries that quickly and aggressively introduce energy efficiency measures, will maybe be capable to deal with the worst consequences.

Basics about oil and NG, depletion and emission.
Information about the depletion of our oil reserves, we found that the newly founded research group from Uppsala University. UHDG and The Association for the Study of Peak Oil (ASPO), have already started to make its mark and published several very interesting research papers. We also found that their work is independent, competent and serious. .....more.

More about Fossil Energy Depletion and Emission.
It is about fossil reserves, emission, use and energy politics.

Perspective on Oil Dependencies.
It does not take much knowledge in mathematics to understand that the equations in the demand and supply situation are impossible. It is no relief for the world and it is no escape from the dependence of Middle East oil reserves. US who is taking around a quarter of all current oil production, or half of the industrialized countries use of oil, is already at a difficult junction. .....more

Oil Reserves and Consumption.
We at EnergySavingNow.com are following, with great interest, the debates on sources for energy production and consumption. A very important event was the two-day conference on oil depletion that began May 30, 2002, at Uppsala University in Uppsala, Sweden, with Professor Kjell Aleklett as chairman. The conference revealed an enormous rift within the group of experts that make more or less credible statements. .....more.

Energy Risk - Oil Supplies To Decline After 2010
Global supplies of crude oil will peak as early as 2010 and then start to decline, ushering in an era of soaring energy prices and economic upheaval, according to an international group of petroleum specialists. .....more.
