Crude Oil Price Could Double

We have not written anything about the bull market in Crude since November. And that piece was more directed toward Natual Gas, which continues to drift along with a slight upward bias. We are not going to get into the fundamentals that are driving Crude prices higher; i.e. peak oil, quantitative easing, tax issues and […]

China’s Imminent Collision With Peak Coal

This is a guest post by Dr. Minqi Li. Dr. Li was a political prisoner in China from 1990 to 1992. He received a PhD in economics from University of Massachusetts Amherst in 2002, and he has been teaching economics at University of Utah since 2006. He has published many articles on peak oil, climate […]

It all starts at the dinner table

Eat together. Could the solution to the vexing challenges of peak oil, food insecurity, food price shocks, diet-related disease, globalization and commodification of food be that simple? The dinner table is as good a place to start as any and that’s exactly where about 100 of Vancouver’s farmers, policy wonks, food and poverty activists, nonprofit […]

The World Will Never Run Out Of Oil — Might Its Price Tank?

While global demand for oil has moved to an all-time high, one long-established theory suggests that oil production (and consumption) might be peaking out. If this is the case, might its price tank? If one thinks about it, the world will never run out of oil. As oil becomes scarce, consumers will necessarily turn to […]

Cuba’s oil hunt, our potential mess

In about five months, Spanish oil giant Repsol is to begin a risky offshore exploration in Cuba’s North Basin, about 60 to 70 miles from Key West and even closer to ecologically fragile waters of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. From a $750 million semi-submersible rig, Repsol will drill through 5,600 feet of seawater […]

Bangla Desh: The deepening energy crisis

One has reasons to be worried about the future of the country if the projections of the energy experts that natural gas resources discovered until now would be fully exhausted within the next three to four years. The attempts made in recent years to discover gas reserves onshore, in most cases, have not been successful. […]

Ocean floor muddies China’s grip on ’21st-century gold’

China’s monopoly over rare-earth metals could be challenged by the discovery of massive deposits of these hi-tech minerals in mud on the Pacific floor, a study on Sunday suggests. China accounts for 97 percent of the world’s production of 17 rare-earth elements, which are essential for electric cars, flat-screen TVs, iPods, superconducting magnets, lasers, missiles, […]

India’s rural poor give up on power grid, go solar

Despite decades of robust economic growth, there are still at least 300 million Indians — a quarter of the 1.2 billion population — who have no access to electricity at home. Some use cow dung for fuel, but they more commonly rely on kerosene, which commands premium black-market prices when government supplies run out. They […]

Russia To Deploy Specialist Troops To Safeguard Oil-rich Arctic Region

Among predictions of a competition between nations for oil reserves in the North pole, Russia Friday said it is planning to deploy specialist troops in the oil rich Arctic region to safeguard its interests. U.S, Canada, Finland, Norway and Sweden already have troops to protect their polar regions. Apart from these countries, Denmark also have […]

A Strategic Blunder

Releasing millions of barrels of precious oil reserves to bring down gas prices doesn’t meet the IEA’s own standards. Opening the tap on oil the world has saved for a rainy day isn’t a panacea. Over the longer term, the move by the International Energy Agency is likely to exacerbate, not lessen, the upward pressure […]
