The current round of peak oil predictions is rather "unscientific", there are large reserves and natural resources on the Earth.

Peak oil is the point in time when the maximum rate of global petroleum extraction is reached, after which the rate of production enters terminal decline. The concept is based on the observed production rates of individual oil wells, and the combined production rate of a field of related oil wells. The aggregate production rate from an oil field over time appears to grow exponentially until the rate peaks and then declines, sometimes rapidly, until the field is depleted. It has been shown to be applicable to the sum of a nation’s domestic production rate, and is similarly applied to the global rate of petroleum production. Peak oil is not about running out of oil, but the peaking and subsequent decline of the production rate of oil.M. King Hubbert created and first used this theory ...

Umíme zpracovat vyhořelé jaderné palivo, hlásí Čína


Čína vyvinula technologie, které jí umožní zpracovávat vyhořelé jaderné palivo. Oznámila to státní televize. Čína se tak stává po Francii, Británii a Indii čtvrtou zemí na světě, která umí recyklovat jaderné palivo. „Je to začátek nové energetické spolupráce mezi Čínou a Ruskem,“ uvedl při spuštění ropovodu na čínsko-ruské hranici jeden zředitelů čínské ...

The age of cheap oil is over


Now that the reality of Peak Oil has started to sink in, one commonly hears that "The age of cheap oil is over". But does that mean that the age of expensive oil is upon us? Not necessarily. We now know (or should have learned by now) that once oil rises to over 25% of global GDP, the world's industrial economy stalls out, and as soon as that happens, oil ceases to be particularly valuable, so much so that investment in maintaining oil production is curtailed. The next time industry tries to stage a comeback (if it ever does) it hits the wall much sooner and stalls again. I doubt that it would ...

Energy Consumption and Warm Weather Increase U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions by 3.3%
© William Christiansen According to the latest report on Emissions released by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), increase in energy consumption and warm temperatures have led to higher Greenhouse Gas emissions in the US. Gas emissions grew by 3.3 percent in 2010 and amounted to 6.866 billion tones in the period of one year between 2009 and 2010. Greenhouse Gas emissions from burning fossil fuels, which had shown a declining trend in 2008 and 2009, also increased by 3.6 percent in 2010. On the whole, the US Greenhouse Gas emissions rose by 11 percent from 1990 to 2010 leaving behind warning signals. The report further mentioned that the energy consumption mainly increased because of the higher energy demands resulting from the economy recovery and manufacturing output expansion. Another reason for higher energy consumption was stated to be warmer climate conditions in the US. The warm weathers led to increased usage of air conditioners and other relief measures commanding higher
Eco-friendly Carpet Options, for example, from Empire Today
© epSos.de If the time has come to replace your existing flooring, it's also a great opportunity to consider the rapidly growing selection of eco-friendly carpet options available on the market today. Professional carpet installers, like Empire Today, can help you select and install such environmentally friendly carpet flooring. Choosing eco friendly carpeting options can help to reduce levels of indoor air pollution which can be much higher in homes with traditional carpeting. It can take years for the volatile organic compounds released from traditional carpets to dissipate, and some of these are known carcinogens including benzene and formaldehyde. Eco friendly carpeting options today are durable, sustainable and stylish, and many are also less costly than conventional carpeting options. You should look for carpeting options which are made out of natural fibers and have not been treated with chemicals. It is also important to look for natural fiber backing on your carpet and e

Tech Talk - OPEC and EIA Short-term Projections
Just this month, Saudi Aramco announced that production had begun at their Manifa oilfield, and by July would be supplying up to 500 kbd to the new refinery that is being built at Jamail with the collaboration of Total. The first oil from the refinery is expected to ship in August, and both projects are currently ahead of schedule. Manifa will further increase in production next year, to 900 kbd, with the additional flow going to the Yanbu refinery being built with the collaboration of Sinopec. Both these refineries are designed to take heavy crude, and can also accept oil from the ongoing projects to expand production at Safaniya. Collectively this is said to ensure that the company will be able to achieve a maximum sustainable production of 12 mbd. The gains in available reserves are required as the current production from Ghawar and the other major fields in the Kingdom continue to decline in production, as was discussed last year. I remain relatively convinced that Saudi Aram
