For the peak coal argument, see Dave Ruitledge's work or the Energy Watch Group report.<BR/><BR/>I don't think anyone is claiming we have reached peak coal yet.<BR/><BR/>I'm not as bearish as the people mentioned above (and I'd rather we kicked the coal habit ASAP anyway), but coal is a finite resource and we are increasing our usage of it every year - a situation which can't continue for more than 2 decades, by my reckoning.Big Gavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00682404837426502876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9864176.post-48413178764372834062009-01-24T01:35:00.000+11:002009-01-24T01:35:00.000+11:00Loved it...

Clearly I have to post this today ;-)<BR/>Sound and grounded ideas in front of 400 journalists and this still drowned out by the media noise.<BR/><BR/>Prince with a simple fiscal point - 'If we don’t treat energy as a long term investment, we will end up paying much higher bills.'<BR/><BR/>Costly? Based on the elasticity and 'cradle to cradle' costs of finite resources... these 'eco-nomic sustainable facts' are the most financially prosperous investments we have. <BR/><BR/>The whoring out the worlds natural resources as a 'choice to trade as consumable commodities' has lead us into this self induced fiscal crisis and only reversing it can get us out. <BR/><BR/>THIS SHOULD BE, abundantly obvious to longterm economists by now.<BR/><BR/>QUOTE: 'Please, what I have to tell you is important to your future and we should all put on our listening ears today and begin to learn.' - my daughters first grade teacher<BR/><BR/><BR/>We have studied taught, talked and about 'peak oil' and climate 'change' for over three decades. Change is an inevitable, unstoppable, linear succession - WE chose if that 'change' will be for the better or worse.. it is time we listened to ourselves and evolved. <BR/><BR/><BR/>History, learn from it or become it...<BR/><BR/><BR/>Have a good weekend GAV,EHS Directorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11768405187596006599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9864176.post-66379725424370335652009-01-23T01:36:00.000+11:002009-01-23T01:36:00.000+11:00uhhh...peak coal? the US alone has over 200 years...uhhh...peak coal? the US alone has over 200 years of coal left.
