Professor warns about implications of Peak Oil

On Tuesday night, Professor Richard Heinberg outlined the limits of using oil as a resource

The supply of oil that has supported global transportation, economies and even food distribution for the past century will soon be unable to match ever-increasing demand, author and professor Richard Heinberg told a crowd at the Eugene Hilton on Tuesday night.

Heinberg is a professor at New College of California, a small, private liberal arts school with campuses in San Francisco and Santa Rosa. He studies Peak Oil, the concept that petroleum is a finite resource and that production of it will eventually reach a peak and then decline severely.
