Disaster Report

Statistics Disaster

Statistics Disaster
The daily environmental reports continue to alarm. While the International Energy Agency statistics show peak oil occurring after 2030, a new report out from the Energy Research Council (UKERC) predicts oil supplies will diminish before 2030. Even more alarming, the report states that there is a “significant risk” we will reach peak oil before 2020.  

That’s ten years, folks.  We wonder why Canada is frantic in its efforts to extract tar sands, destroying its landscape, air, and water supplies in the process?  Oil prices from 2008 were a primer for the world’s populations that depend on black crude.  To date, the world’s economies are still reeling from that act of generosity, compliments of the well-oiled Bush administration. 

It would be so unnatural to begin a full-fledged environmental association with a similar amount of funding given as is being provided to fight the global war on terror.  What to fight about after the oil is gone?  Don’t tell me, for I already know. 

Energy Conservation Program

To be clear, the Energy Research Council is UK government funded, independent of the U.S. oil-influenced government.  With 80 mph speed limits in certain U.S. states, it’s obvious that our energy conservation program is firmly in place, with little need to validate this latest report on a global disaster. 

Less than ten years.  Relative to the history of the planet, that’s seconds from disaster. Will the oil industry acknowledge this issue?  Not for a while.  There are still major profits to be made;  there’s really no reason to alarm the public.  Hell, they might start their own energy conservation plan, without being told.  Can’t let that happen.  Corporate pigs are still stuffing themselves of our hard-earned dollars, disaster or no disaster. 

What a joyous day it would be to have an environmental industry more powerful than the carbon-based energy industry.
