Peak Oil: A list of news articles, books, and web sites
The society you live in is highly dependent on cheap energy. As we reach the oil production peak within the next few years, the price of petroleum and our economies will fluctuate. Your lifestyle will be affected. How will you adapt? (See my related lists on Sustainability and What To Do.)

      "...we have recently gained access to concentrated but depleting non-renewable energy sources that have enabled us to grow our population and appetites for commodities of various sorts to utterly unsustainable levels; and in the process of burning carbon-based fuels we have set in motion a process of climate change that is rapidly spiraling out of control. This is going to be a tough set of problems to solve, because it involves changing people’s lifestyles and expectations, sharing nature’s dwindling bounty of non-renewable resources rather than fighting over the crumbs, and finding ways to reduce population proactively without interfering too much with human rights."

  - 4 Ethanol is not a solution
    - • According to David Pimentel from Cornell University who has studied this to death: » CONCLUSIONS
      The forgoing analysis, for which all major energy
      inputs required in ethanol production were assessed,
      confirms that ethanol production produces a
      29% negative energy balance. Ethanol is not a net
      additional energy source, is an uneconomical fuel,
      and its overall production system causes serious environmental
      degradation. This analysis agrees with the
      findings of the U.S. Department of Energy (ERAB,
      1980, 1981), Sparks Commodities (1990), Giampietro,
      Ulgiati, and Pimentel (1997), Pimentel (2001), and
      Hodge (2002).
      At present, the total cost to produce a gallon of
      ethanol from corn is $2.24. Using the by-products produced
      in ethanol production may reduce the cost to
      about $1.79. But then, adding on an estimated 36c= to
      cover some of the pollution brings the cost up to $2.15
      per gallon of gasoline equivalent.
      Certainly, in terms of economics
