PEAKING OF WORLD OIL PRODUCTION: RECENT DEVELOPMENTS, POLICY OPTIONS AND PRUDENT ACTIONS

RICHARD HEINBERG, Author, The Party's Over: Oil, War and the Fate of Industrial Societies; Editor, Museletter; Core Faculty Member, New College of California

Mounting evidence suggests that the rate of global oil production may be nearing its all-time maximum. Richard Heinberg, North America's foremost peak oil educator, asserts that as an inevitable decline sets in, economic, social and political impacts are likely to be severe. He will discuss the latest petroleum data, a recent government-sponsored report on peak oil and the Oil Depletion Protocol, which may be the best path for the United States and other nations to avert economic crisis, resource wars and terrorism during the second half of the Age of Oil.
