    The historian Dr. Daniele Ganser from the University of Basel, Switzerland, answers in the following interview questions related to the “National Energy Policy Development Group” of 2001, Peak Oil and the connection to pipelines in Central Asia. According to Dr. Ganser it is very doubtful that NATO will succeed in Afghanistan in order to built the proposed pipeline from Turkmenistan to Pakistan/India.

  • The oil crisis of the global food crisis
    6 September 2010 par (Open-Publishing)

    The world’s daily oil consumption would be 30 billion barrels per year (almost double the oil reserves of Mexico) which represents aa say that every half year, the world reserves phagocytoses a major oil producer and energy alternatives still need massive subsidies to be viable in developing countries, which together with the hydrogen technology (sort of philosopher’s stone that will solve the energy problems of mankind), is still nascent and the inertia of the assets oil will not allow (…)

  • Strangulation of oil production

    Continued dependence on oil: The world’s daily oil consumption would be 30 billion barrels per year (almost double the oil reserves of Mexico) which represents aa say that every half year, the world reserves phagocytoses an important oil-producing country and alternative energy still need massive subsidies to be viable in developing countries, which together with the hydrogen technology (sort of philosopher’s stone that will solve the energy problems of mankind) is still in its infancy and (…)

    The important study “Australian Sustainable Energy - by the numbers” by Professor Peter Seligman (University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Australia, 2010) must be emulated by scientists and engineers for every country in the World. The looming climate catastrophe and climate genocide do not have to happen.
    “Australian Sustainable Energy - by the numbers” by Peter Seligman is a very important book for Australia and indeed the whole World. As an expertly compiled, case study assessment of (…)

    Energy Hegemony: Israel Eyes Lebanon’s Offshore Gas Reserves
    by Rannie Amiri
    Global Research, July 1, 2010
    “We are not obliged to state the limits of our State.” – David Ben Gurion, 14 May 1948
    In all regional disputes, big or small, Israel will invariably threaten or implement violence. It is the preferred method of conflict resolution. The recent discovery of natural gas reserves in Lebanese territorial waters, and Israel’s claim to them, is no exception. It didn’t take long for (…)

  • Gulf oil & gas disaster, lobbyists, Obama & huge threat of natural gas (methane) to Humanity & Biosphere

    Methane is 72 times worse than carbon dioxide (CO2) as a greenhouse gas (GHG) on a 20 year time scale and industrial leakage of methane (1.5% to 2.2%) has led Professor Robert Howarth, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, to conclude that "A complete consideration of all emissions from using natural gas seems likely to make natural gas far less attractive than oil and not significantly better than coal in terms of the consequences for global warming."
    Yet President Barack Obama has (…)

    Deepwater Horizon: Apokalyptic Scenario Oil Volcano Pressure Too Strong For Containment
    Dr. James P. Wickstrom 6-9-10 It has been estimated by experts that the pressure which blows the oil into the Gulf waters is estimated to be between 20,000 and 70,000 PSI (pounds per square inch). Impossible to control. What US Scientists Are Forbidden To Tell The Public About The Gulf What you are about to read, is what the scientists in the United States are not allowed to tell you in great (…)

  • Gas is dirty energy & may be dirtier than coal - Oz Labor’s "gas is clean energy" means Put Labor Last
    10 June 2010 par (Open-Publishing)

    Rational risk management (that, for example, makes aviation so safe) successively involved (a) accurate information, (b) scientific analysis (this involving the critical testing of potentially falsifiable hypotheses) and (c) informed systemic change to minimize risk.
    False assertions clearly utterly undermine rational risk management. However the Australian Labor Government is utterly incorrect in its repeated assertion that “natural gas is clean energy”. This untruth remains uncorrected (…)
