Energy Investment – Energy Return
Peak Moment 136: In his presentation at the ASPO-USA 2008 conference, independent financial consultant Jim Hansen runs every investment through the peak oil test. He explores traditional energy investments; opportunities in renewables, rail, and electrifying the transportation system; areas to avoid like airlines and trucking; and what to watch, like electric cars and the unwinding of globalization. In this interview, ecologist and professor Charlie Hall looks at energy return on the energy …
it makes no sense…I mean the private sector can either turn the page or let India and China turn the page for us…All they have to do is turn electric companies into the “oil”. Demand will always be there and you go green. Make the people happy and get paid. It’s that simple growth increases at 7% a year… and doubles every 10. SO Wake Up private sector nothing’s free you know shit just copy Warren Buffet and you get paid. haha
Unfortunately, the ASPO message has been totally lost now that the world economy has gone into a complete meltdown. I think Peak Moment TV has been warning us through these excellent “conversations” that we are a train going full speed into a brick wall. Now, the train has derailed before we hit that wall. Instead of coming to our senses, and implementing necessary changes to our way of life, everyone is trying to put the train back on the tracks! If we are lucky, it can’t be fixed.
Am I the only one totally distracted by that music?
Both speakers are very illuminating – and NOT repetitious. Thanks!!
Sorry that should be Larson Radax Engine. Look at non food plant made alcohol for fuel. We are being badly misled as to the return numbers for the cost of fuel. Also there is the matter of things like the radax engine that the major corporation make darn sure don’t get out on the market.
I have my doubts about the oil shortage as well as global warming. I worked in the oil field when younger and am aware of the hundreds of thousands of capped wells that are drilled and sitting there with not one drop of oil having ever been pumped out of them. Global warming? If it is true then why to the numbers keep being exposed as false. Inspite of that, don’t want to fight about those things. What we need to look at is getting out from under big oil anyway. Look at the larson radas en
It’s pretty astounding how few people know that we’re running out of oil! Or want to even hear it. After all, life isn’t going to be anywhere near the same after oil.
Guess my view isn’t accepted in your world.
You’re not the only channel that censors, much like your next puppet presidents channel.
Great, I’m not wanted around here, must be your planet.
You could at least do the honors to easy-button trademark a name for me like the rest of the “survivors”.
That was funny. Great vid!
Good show, but needs to cover more topics because it gets super repetitious. We’re running out of oil. Yeah, no kidding.
This Charlie rediscovered the wheel and made a career out of it. Love this channel though.
