Crash Course: Chapter 17a – Peak Oil by Chris Martenson

Posted by admin on September 2nd, 2009 and filed under oil | 25 Comments »

Chapter 17a – Peak Oil: Energy is the lifeblood of any economy and a steady supply of energy is necessary to maintain the status quo, while an ever-increasing supply is needed to grow an economy.

Evidence points to a global production peak in the near future, which is troubling since the U.S. imports two-thirds of its oil and relies on it to much of its transportation and food production needs.
