Natural gas as panacea: dubious path to a green future
Posted on June 28, 2010, under Uutiset, Öljyhuippu.
Many energy experts contend natural gas is the ideal fuel as the world makes the transition to renewable energy. But since much of that gas will come from underground shale, potentially at high environmental cost, it would be far better to skip the natural gas phase and move straight to massive deployment of solar and wind power.

BP’s deadline to give facts on Gulf oil spill
Posted on June 25, 2010, under Uutiset, Öljyhuippu.
BP has been given until Friday, July 2 to provide documentary evidence establishing exactly what is happening behind the scenes at their ongoing Gulf of Mexico oil spill. This material would answer current worst-case scenario speculation about the state of BP’s Mocando wellbore – whether it is structurally compromised – and the ongoing attempts to dig relief wells…The demand comes in a letter written by Congressman Edward J. Markey, chairman of the Energy and Environment Subcommittee.

Introducing the "Post Carbon Reader"
Posted on June 24, 2010, under Uutiset, Öljyhuippu.
In 2009, Post Carbon Institute recruited 29 of the world’s leading sustainability thinkers to answer one fundamental question: How do we manage the transition to a more resilient, sustainable, and equitable world? Like us, our Fellows see five key truths:
- We have hit the “limits to growth.”
- No issue can be addressed in isolation.
- We must focus on responses, not just solutions.
- We must prepare for uncertainty.
- We can do something.

What happens when energy resources deplete?
Posted on June 18, 2010, under Uutiset, Öljyhuippu.
One view is that energy prices will rise, substitutes will be found, and prices will come back down again, perhaps settling at a somewhat higher equilibrium reflecting the cost of producing the substitute energy source… Another view, popular among those concerned about peak-oil, is that oil and energy prices will just keep rising. If scalable substitutes aren’t found, some expect that oil prices will rise from their current price of $75 barrel, to $100 barrel, to $200 barrel, to $300 barrel, and eventually to $1,000 barrel or more.

The peak oil crisis: a speech to the nation
Posted on June 16, 2010, under Uutiset, Öljyhuippu.
After 17 months in office, it now seems clear that the Obama administration is not going to confront the peak oil issue straight on, unless absolutely necessary. Like the Bush administration, the hope remains that gas prices will remain affordable and economy-disabling oil shortages will not develop until after the administration leaves office.

BP’s review: 45 years of hard-to-access deepwater oil
Posted on June 11, 2010, under Uutiset, Öljyhuippu.
Embattled oil giant BP has released an annual review of global energy demand claiming we have 45 year’s worth of oil – but at the same time stressing the importance of deepwater operations such as the Gulf of Mexico. The great unanswered question of course being: Why would they be attempting to extract oil at the depth the Titanic sank if it was easily available elsewhere?
