I’ve been writing long and extensively about peak oil for some time now, still, after so many years spent on researching the topic, I had to realize that I might’ve missed an important point. A kind reader, and an astute scholar of the global energy system, Dr Louis Arnoux, has brought another perspective to my attention. He and his team of engineers and scientists at the
We cannot afford to wait for the "elites," especially if they are United States Democrats, to admit that we must shift to a low energy lifestyle NOW, not in 2030, to save any species alive. No office jobs, no electric cars, no "bio"fuels, and especially, no more war machine. The "elites" will drive us to our doom if we continue to let them.
Another one that still doesn't understand the ROLE of the Secular Ruling Families & Billionaires in the civilization he[we] slaves-on!
"We are at the very end of the Oil Age" says he... He appears to not realize that this "end" is not a real end because oil is not ending. The SRF&Billionaires want to avoid that ALL uman animals keep having access to it (and to all the other products oil provides) and by so extend Their Bubble Wealthy Life.
What you describe in your posts is essentially what is very likely to happen in our near future, in our real world. In doing so, you find yourself, of course, in a tiny, tiny minority of people holding these views. Not surprising. There is absolutely nothing in our media, the arts—literary fiction—to give a voice or an image to this impending reality. Without knowing you, I wrote a novel, "Mona" (self-published on Amazon; not one of the 5 big publishers would ever publish such a story), picturing very closely in terms of real life for commoners what you envision: starting from our present political and social reality, a story in a world descending into the tyrannical rule of the elites, religious fanaticism, extreme inequality and poverty, the deadly consequences of global warming, and the dire depletion of resources. The end of capitalism, killed by capitalism itself and replaced by neo-feudalism. There is not a single other fiction book available depicting this same impending reality you write about. This in itself is another sign of our society's total denial.
Dr. Arnoux in my humble opinion is a plagiarist and a snake oil salesman
For the second part first:
He continues to claim that he has invented a machine for every home that provides all energy needs, called the genie or something like that. Check his website. I do not want to search it now because it is boring.
for the first part:
His Graphs are pretty much the same as the ones created by the Hills Group, an oil research firm that did some thermodynamics calculations decades ago.
If you think that economists do not know energy, they certainly do not understand thermodynamics.
About 20 years ago they already knew that engines will stop running in 2022 but they could not pin it down because the data is not clear.
Berndt Warm from ASPO Germany is the only person in the world who does follow up work on that because the Hills Group is long time no longer interested / existing in this topic because it drives away business.

Thank you B🙏
Lots of information. Much to think about. The time line to major disruption is considerably shorter than 2050 or beyond.
We are very close to the end game... that is why they have prepped us for extermination

Excellent article! Thank you.

Sorry to digress here.

A Book is here:

Hand it over to your physicists and tell me if they find an error.
There has been a smear campaign against the ETP Model some 10 years ago by a certain physicist and I looked in the papers and found a mistake.
It is always the same mistake: confusing +/- sign in Thermodynamics.
I tried to have it corrected but to no avail.
Anyhow since then ETP is officially been declared dead.
Berndt Warm is still doing well, *cough*....
