Seven Generational Ruminations

Home page for Ken Deffyes, a Princeton researcher specializing in the Peak Oil phenomenon.

a clearinghouse for information regarding the peak in global energy supply. We publish news, research and analysis concerning:

* energy production statistics, models, projections and analysis
* articles which provide insight into the implications of peak oil across broad areas including geopolitics, climate change, ecology, population, finance, urban design, health, and even religious and gender issues.
* a range of information to help preparedness for peak energy, such as:
o renewable energy information
o alternative financial systems
o low energy agriculture
o relocalization
* any other subjects that could lead to better understanding the implications of an energy production peak

a grassroots group of concerned local citizens, from different backgrounds, with different interests, who've separately become aware of the looming crisis caused by the peaking of world oil supplies. Portland Peak Oil puts on events every Wednesday night in Southeast Portland. We feature relevant speakers, show films, hold small and large discussion groups, host workshops, etc. Between 30-120 people come each week. In between Wednesday evenings, there are monthly meetings of our working groups: Outreach, Preparedness, Policy, and Business. These monthly meetings are usually regular (e.g. the Business meeting is first Sunday of the month at 6pm). All Wednesday evening events and monthly meetings are posted to the events calendar.

We've already burned through almost half the world's supply of oil. How will we ride out the slide down the other side of Hubbert's Curve? For more information, go to: http://www.energychallenge.tv/

Information portal related to Peak Oil. "Peak Oil Portal is a website that focuses on the topic of Peak Oil, sometimes also referred to as Hubbert’s Peak and its potential ramifications to the global economy. Additionally, we also provide resources on energy trading such as our crude oil, unleaded gas, heating oil, and natural gas futures trading blog. We hope you find the resources on this website useful in your attempt to educate yourself on topic of Peak Oil, a subject that could easily be argued as one of the most important topics facing human civilization in the years ahead. If we can be of any assistance to you please contact us."

Information resource for the peak oil phenomenon.

We are entering the Peak Oil era. The growth of oil production is slowing, driving up oil and gasoline gas prices, firing inflation, driving unemployment, straining our global economy, and threatening to collapse our entire system. We are reaching Peak Oil and we are unprepared. Teacher Aaron Wissner, in a compact 10 minutes video summary, details Peak Oil, the evidence, the impacts, and the solutions. See the full one-hour video at LocalFuture.org. Also, at YouTube, see the conclusion, of that presentation, part 5 of 5, which highlights the impacts, underlying problem, and solutions to Peak Oil.

Group blog and information site providing oil industry analysis especially concerned about peak oil analysis.

A prominent blog presenting news and information and analysis about the peak oil phenomenon.

Named after the late Dr. M. King Hubbert, Geophysicist, this website provides data, analysis and recommendations regarding the upcoming peak in the rate of global oil extraction.
