Peak Oil Information:

Peak oil is the point in time when extraction of oil from the earth reaches its highest point and then begins to decline. Most oil experts estimate this peak will occur by 2010.

§ Oil is used for transportation, electricity, heating, cooling, pesticides, plastics, pharmaceuticals, asphalt, concrete and steel.

§ On average an American consumes 3 gallons of oil per day (1.8 gallons of which are imported).

§ In the US, 10 calories of fossil-fuel energy go into every 1 calorie of food.

§ Oil extraction will be physically unable to meet global demand

§ Alternative energy sources like nuclear and natural gas will fall far short of compensating for expected shortages of oil.

The first step in preparing for an energy-reduced future is to educate yourself.
