[Diggers350] The tectonic plates of energy policy just moved! Did you notice?

Wed Nov 10 14:40:40 GMT 2010

a few things that whilst i agree pollution should stop, but are we being told everything?

Is this simply just not a move to tax oxygen? in simple terms a carbon tax.

Lets look at it this way, we have seen corruption on all levels of government and corporations, some of us have experienced it first hand.

There have been many patents for everything from water running cars to well everything is possible, which the huge corporations have bought up.

So the quesiton is this one, if a carbon tax was to be brought in, the likelyhood of it having any effect is zilch. Why? because the big corporations could just purchase their way out of the tax. i.e. the would treat it like a tax deduction, or an accounting excercise.

everyday people on the other hand would be coughing up huge sums of money, just so that the corporations could continue with their government sponsored farces.

government is a business, look up the house of commons and every other government entity and you will discover that they too are registered companies.

I personally do not think a carbon tax is the solution, the only solution can be for people to stand up and make a difference and take responsilibty for their own energy etc.
Otherwise whilst money and governments and corporations are in the way of us living healthily and sustainably. Nothing much will change except people losing more freedoms.
(and the government are already implimenting strategies for this even via internet censorship and other rules and regualtions that you woudn't be able to fathom.)

You think a one world government isn't in the making?

Until we realise who controls the money, contorls the world, and until we rid ourselves of it, we will never truly reach our full potential.

there is abundance in this world except the corporations and government make out their is scarcity, this fear is what holds the corporate governments control over our everyday lives...

I would like to share somem videos with you, so that you can get another view, and i recomend everyone research Nikola Tesla, the man that wanted to give the world free energy, except J.P. Morgan wasn't having that, why? again it threatened the percieved power of money. the I promise to pay on demands...... (empty promises)

Well people the time has come to say goodbye to it, and the time is now, more and more people are waking up to these facts, and nothing will be able to stop it.

(I'm not condoning the use of oil, i'm simply stating the fact that the fear of it's depletion is simply another way to put the prices up) again we can see that money gets in the way of our full potential...

Still don't believe that the government, corporation and others are putting us in fear that there isn't abundance on this planet and that it is infinate?

interesting isn't it?

and this is ukip: http://www.ukipwsx.org/

the thing is i'm not saying any political party is better, infact i don't believe in any of them including the greens, 
well, what else is green? money perhaps? it does seem like the new "green" is carbon tax no?

the future should be in everybodies hands, not just those in perceived positions of power

Ultimately no matter what happens the truth will be known 

to be able to see the deception follow the money, to get the change we want to see do everything out of love, and get rid of money, because it is that which enslaves the globe.

The world had a metanoic moment yesterday -- did you notice?

There has just been a major shift in the tectonic plates of global energy 
policy -- the earthquakes will be along when the world realises what it means! 
(curiously, in UK terms, the date was also 9/11!).

This is all related to the International Energy Agency's publication of the 
World Energy Outlook report which, FOR THE FIRST TIME, accepts that oil 
production will not rise in the future -- and this assumes that 'fields to be 
developed in the future' are able to plug the gap between the decline of 
existing fields and existing demand (a very unlikely scenario). For more detail 
see the Oil Drum's initial review -- http://www.theoildrum.com/node/7100

The IEA are even asking for a global climate deal in order to reduce oil 
demand and keep the price under control!!

For summaries and press releases see the IEA's web site --

NEEDLESS TO SAY, this news didn't make the lead on the main broadcast news 
(except for a small piece on BBC world news), either yesterday or today, 
despite the incredible shift that it represents and the doubt it creates about 
the global economy. I knew it was being published -- it's a regular event -- 
so why the media myopia??

The trade press were interested:

Commodities Now:

outlook-2010-released.html

Of the major news outlets few had coverage, except those skewed towards big 
business economics:

Kipp Report --

Of the mainstream UK media only the Indie and the Beeb had reports yesterday:

The Independent --
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/iea-predicts-oil-breaking-200-
by-2035-as-china-keeps-on-trucking-2129729.html

So, "the game's afoot!!". If the production of new capacity can't keep pace 
with the depletion rate -- as many analysts outside the IEA forecast -- then 
oil is now pretty much "officially" on it's way out.

If you want the 'easy listening' review of the IEA's forecasts, the following 
article is part of a series published by National Geographic yesterday --

Has the World Already Passed "Peak Oil"?

New analysis pegs 2006 as highpoint of conventional crude production

Mason Inman, National Geographic News, 9th November 2010

The year 2006 may be remembered for civil strife in Iraq, the nuclear weapon 
testing threat by North Korea, and the genocide in Darfur, but now it appears 
that another world event was occurring at the same timeâ€”without headlines, but 
with far-reaching consequence for all nations.

Thatâ€™s the year that the worldâ€™s conventional oil production likely reached 
its peak, the International Energy Agency (IEA) in Vienna, Austria, said 
Tuesday.

According to the 25-year forecast in the IEA's latest annual World Energy 
Outlook, the most likely scenario is for crude oil production to stay on a 
plateau at about 68 to 69 million barrels per day.

In this scenario, crude oil production "never regains its all-time peak of 70 
million barrels per day reached in 2006," said IEAâ€™s World Energy Outlook 
2010.

In previous years, the IEA had predicted that crude oil production would 
continue to rise for at least another couple of decades.

Now, because of rising oil prices, declines in investment by the oil industry, 
and new commitments by some nations to cutting greenhouse gas emissions, the 
new forecast says oil production is likely to be lower than the IEA had 
expected.

End of Cheap Oil

The projected flat crude oil production doesnâ€™t translate into an immediate 
shortage of fuels for the worldâ€™s cars and trucks. IEA actually projects that 
the total production of what it calls â€œpetroleum fuelsâ€� is most likely to 
continue steadily rising, reaching about 99 million barrels per day by 2035.

This growth in liquid fuels would come entirely from unconventional sources, 
including "natural gas liquids," which are created as a by-product of tapping 
natural gas reservoirs.

The consequences for the worldâ€™s energy consumers of this increased reliance 
on natural gas liquids and other unconventional fuels are stark.

"The age of cheap oil is over," said Fatih Birol, IEA chief economist.

"If the consuming nations do not make major efforts to slow down the oil demand 
growth, we will see higher oil prices," Birol said, "which we think is not 
good news for the economies of the consuming nations."

IEA was set up by most of the world's industrialized countries after the 1970s 
world oil crises to analyze the worldâ€™s energy situation and advise them on 
policy.

The closely watched most-likely scenario, which the IEA calls the "New 
Policies Scenario," assumes that countries stick to the commitments they have 
made in the past couple of years to cut greenhouse gas emissions.

But even under IEAâ€™s so-called "business-as-usual" scenario, without the 
projected efforts to cut fossil fuel pollution, oil production would be 
significantly lower in 20 years' time than the IEA had forecast even just a few 
years ago.

Oil production might rise marginally under the "business-as-usual" scenario, 
the report said, but supplies would be short enough to send oil prices soaring 
to double todayâ€™s level.

Fighting Decline

A major reason for the rising prices and flatlining production is that for "the 
currently producing fields of crude oil, the production will decline," Birol 
said.

Today's active oil fields produce about 70 million barrels per day, but by 
2035, he said, "they will produce less than 20 million barrels per day of 
oil."

Just to keep crude oil production flat would require much more production from 
new oil fieldsâ€”including those discovered but not yet developed, and others 
still to be discovered.

The IEA forecasts that Saudi Arabiaâ€”the largest producerâ€”would boost its 
production by 50 percent, and that Iraq would nearly triple its production.

Maintaining this plateau would require massive investment in the oil industry, 
the report estimated, about $8 trillion over the next 25 years.

Also, in the IEA's main scenario, production from "tar sands," also known as 
â€œoil sands,â€� found mainly in Canada and Venezuela, would triple in the next 25 
years.

However, these unconventional sources are generally more expensive and harder 
on the environment, the IEA said.

Tar sands "mining operations have a large impact on the landscape," the report 
said, requiring forests to be cleared, and large "tailing ponds" to collect 
the toxic runoff from tar sands processing.

Tar sands have a bigger climate footprint than conventional oil, with larger 
greenhouse gas emissions for the whole life cycle, from "well-to-wheels," the 
new report said.

Barrel for barrel, the IEA said, oil from tar sands would create 5 to 15 
percent more emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), the principal greenhouse gas 
causing global warming.

Looking at the reasons for the plateau in crude oil production, â€œitâ€™s clear 
that itâ€™s a mixture of above-ground and below-ground factors,â€� said Guy 
Caruso, former head of the U.S. Energy Information Agency, and now at the 
Center for Strategic and International Studies, a think tank in Washington, 
D.C.

â€œItâ€™s partly geological resource limitations,â€� Caruso said. â€œThereâ€™s decline 
that weâ€™re fighting in the older fields,â€� in which production has fallen faster 
than had been expected.

But there are also â€œareas like Venezuela, Iraq, Kazakhstan, and Nigeria, where 
we know the oil is there,â€� but political turmoil and other issues have kept 
production far below the potential, he said.

When all the factors are taken into account, the trend is toward rising oil 
prices, Caruso said. Oil-consuming nations can cope with this if the price 
rises smoothly, but he added, â€œwhat economies have a hard time dealing with is 
a spike like we had in 2008, when oil reached nearly $150 a barrel, and then 
dropped back down again.â€�
