I believe peak oil had passed & we are at the state where the world is trying to remedy the demand & find alternative supply of fuel or energy.
How in the world can we survive peak oil if every joule of food we eat especially meat need at least 5 joule of fossil fuel to bring to our plates.
From the crops that need fossil fuel to plough, irrigate, harvest, pesticides, fertilizers (natural gas) to transportation, freezing (electricity from either nuclear, hydro, coal or fossil fuel). The farm animals eat food from crops that doubles the amount of fossil fuel to raise a cow, cattle, pig or other animals we eat.
The mother nature is telling us to reduce down human population via natural disasters & food shortages…many will perish & when the final blow to human race is here we are probably not alive then.
I realized we should not be stressed about life, we should let go & relax. Do not get stressed over things we can’t control and worry. The most important is don’t get too engrossed about trying to convince anyone about peak oil.
When economy fails, demand drops the price of oil naturally will come down and wait for the next rise in oil price by another wave of up & collapses.
You should already know by now the market cannot go above certain limit otherwise the demand for resources will peak & someone will poke another bank to collapse & creating another economic crisis…yet again.
The economist will probably tied all the movement of market to any immediate figures of job losses, blame it on some banks trying to swindle the public on “good loans” or “guarantee investment” or “future planning insurance with risk”.
Ultimately, when the crash comes the demand drops…people loses their homes get into serious debts…poor countries get into radical groups to blow themselves apart in crowded places.
The world is a massy place where we cannot control…the best is be prepared for anything & never judge anyone or anything but knowing you can survive the worst will be a comforting thought.
Be fit, strong, eat healthy food, reduce stress, research on sustainability solutions and green energy which is all the positive solutions to peak oil.
Do not get addicted to expensive habits (Smoking, Clubbing, Alcohol, women, drugs and gambling) and learn to relax your mind by doing some meditation (I’m trying to learn too) using soothing music.
Now you had learned about Peak Oil (exited the Matrix), focus on the positive side of it & don’t try to save the world by yourself as nobody like to be controlled and human race is best left to their own choice to survive or die.
The few stages of peak oil awareness are below.
- Shocked & in denial
- Stressed with fears & paranoid
- Acceptance & slowly appreciating life while we still can (my stage)
- Confident of life & can survive without external help (self sustainability)
Many people are not aware that money is not everything as the more money you have the more responsibility you handle with higher stress you will get. However, in certain countries there are people who can survive without a single dollar on their back but doing everything from farming to enjoying a slow day at fishing.
For people like me, I’m addicted to technology hence it’s hard to let go the addiction of money that give me the access of gadgets that can help in the world of self sustainability.
However, given enough knowledge in DIY technology…human can be sustainable easily.
Remember, with great knowledge comes great responsibility but if you can’t convince people…save yourself first.
