Will Oil and Economy Taper off or Crash? - Jan Lundberg on Portland TV |

![]() What will be the socioeconomic response to the end of cheap and abundant energy? The basis of the discussion came from the paper "Our Post-Peak Oil Future" from Bay Localize (San Francisco Bay). It consists of three parts on just two pages: the Hubbert curve on global peak oil, the "stair-step" collapse theory, and petrocollapse. Each section has a descriptive graph to go with it. One can read the document in five minutes, but a whole one-hour show allows for many aspects of petroleum dependence to be thoughtfully explored. The men's discussion is informal and friendly, but no-holds-barred. What can community gardens and "clean cars" do for our petroleum-dependent economy when a major oil shortage hits? Will a desired energy descent feature oil industry adjustments to a shrinking, up-and-down economy that is hoped to flow from oil's response to price stimulus? See what you think after seeing this show. The program was rerun on these dates: Sunday 4/4/10 at 17:00 Channel 23 (comcast cable in Portland) and Wednesday 4/7/10 at 20:00 Channel 22 (comcast cable in Portland).
This is what the document discussed on the show looks like:
