Empowerment Key:
Do Your Homework |
We, the people of the world, are at a critical point in
our existence. If we choose to work together, we survive. If we
continue depending on depleting oil supplies and fighting among
ourselves, the peak oil card is played.
To get through this lets begin by acknowledging the
problem, then we'll go onto finding solutions and implementing them on a
global scale, each community implementing their clean, safe energy
choice.
Many respected scientists have estimated that we've used
up about half of the world's petroleum oil supply. Whether we have or
not, oil is being priced like we have. The price of oil, and all that
is produced with it, like food, transportation, plastics, etc. is rising
dramatically as costs to pump the crude increases and availability
decreases. Estimates are that as soon as 2008, the drama could get
serious.
Failure to deal with Peak Oil can cause an international
economic collapse that could be at cause for the next big death
cull. It's going to take all of us working together to solve this one,
but we can do it. I'm not talking about 'the sky is falling." That
happened in the United States on 9/11/01. We all saw it over, and over
and over again. We're on the other side of that now.
The best "Peak Oil 101" place for a deep
understanding of the issue with supporting documentation is

LIFE AFTER THE OIL CRASH
Great first step on the yellow brick road to understanding and
solving the peak oil crisis.
"The situation
is so dire that even George W. Bush's Energy Adviser, Matthew
Simmons, has acknowledged that "The situation is desperate.
This is the world's biggest serious question."
According to
Secretary of Energy Spencer Abraham, "America faces a
major energy supply crisis over the next two decades. The
failure to meet this challenge will threaten our nation's
economic prosperity, compromise our national security, and
literally alter the way we lead our lives."
THE ASSOCIATION FOR THE STUDY
OF PEAK OIL
"May 30, 2003, PARIS – Research
presented on May 26th and 27th at the French Institute for Petroleum
(IFP) by a wide variety of experts from varying and often
competitive perspectives disclosed that, in the year since the first
conference of the Association for the Study of Peak Oil (ASPO),
supply constraints have worsened and the realities of energy
depletion are becoming more apparent. A year of violent political
history centered on oil and ever-more unforgiving production results
have begun to force reluctant political and economic acknowledgement
of Peak Oil’s threat to civilization."
Presentation at the Technical
University of Clausthal, C.J.Campbell, December 2000
"2. Sub-Title:
The title of my talk
is Peak Oil. It truly is a turning point for Mankind. It will affect
us all. It is a large subject, and it will take us about an hour to
work through it.
3. Purpose:
The purpose of the
talk is to evaluate the resource base and its depletion. Then we can
go on to study the present crisis and try to see how it will evolve.
Finally we can think specifically about Germany's predicament."
HUBBERT PEAK OF OIL PRODUCTION
"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."
Oil depletion: One of the most important problems of the world
"To solve a problem one must
understand the magnitude of the problem. To reiterate previous
numbers energy is consumed by humans at a rate of about 13TW (1TW
equals one (US) trillion Watts). A very large fraction (around 40%)
comes from oil. Oil is therefore the primary energy source, and it
is the primary energy source which should concern us.
The world consumes 77 million
barrels (one barrel is 42 (US) gallons or 159 (SI/metric) liters) of
petroleum daily, which makes 26 billion barrels annually. The
biggest extractors are Saudi Arabia, Russia, the United States, and
Mexico. The biggest exporters are Saudi Arabia, Russia, and Norway.
The biggest importers are the United States, Japan, Korea and
Germany."
Die off.org
"Petroleum geologists have known for
50 years that global oil production would "peak" and begin its
inevitable decline within a decade of the year 2000. Moreover, no
renewable energy systems have the potential to generate more than a
tiny fraction of the power now being generated by fossil fuels.
In short, the end
of oil signals the end of civilization, as we know it."
Maybe, as
Die Off.org says, no
single bio fuel can save us. But the open market availability
of all bio fuels can solve the problem without the drama.
Everything needs to be re-thought through so that we produce
life enriching rather than murderous results.
Bio fuels are renewable, don't
pollute and will be cheaper than post peak oil prices. Hemp,
corn, soy, solar, wind and others can be used also to replace
petroleum.
NAYER'S NOTES
I'm
J. Nayer Hardin of the
Computer Underground Railroad. I learned about peak oil early in
January, 2004. I am not an oil industry person; never dipped into the
wells. While reading message board postings, I came across an
announcement by a wise young man, Matt Savinar. His site, a great "Peak
Oil 101" place to learn is
LIFE AFTER THE OIL CRASH
. Another mover and
shaker in the alternative energy field is
David Crockett Williams
who over the last five years has kept me on environmental point.
We are in the Information Age. The available information indicates
we are reaching the peak of oil production. Further, reports indicate a
link between fossil fuels, environmental pollution and health problems.
As we solve the peak oil problem by switching to clean alternatives
energies like bio fuels and magnets, we can further solve the problem of
our pollution killing us.
In America, we've been dealing with a health care crisis in terms of
money. It's a convenient way not to discuss the causes of the rapidly
rising cancer rates, among them, pollution. As we reduce the cause of
people getting sick, the result, high health care costs, will reduce
themselves based on supply and demand.
We have got to stop acting stupid. We live on the same planet and we
have to work together to stay here.
A major problem is of course economic. Many are making a lot of
money on war for oil, the continued use of oil, and the part of the
medical industry that profits from cancer and asthma rates. Over the
centuries we have seen that greed is not good. Peak Oil is just another
example of where we need to remove greed from the daily operation of
life.
Paying for the conversion is a problem given current laws that should
be changed.
Governments who band hemp need to get out of the way of a solution.
An international hemp tax, part of which can go to the U.N. (or a newly
created international project management board to oversee the
conversion) can pay for the transformation.
For example, in the United States, implementing the
Marijuana Tax Act of 1937, a 20% tax on hemp revenues could generate
a lot of money quickly, both from product taxes and stamp (license)
fees. An estimated $7 billion marijuana is sold in the United States.
20% of that is $1,400,000,000. Not a bad start up budget and that's
just America, with hemp illegal.
Side Note: Maybe there would be more peace in the
middle east and elsewhere if both side of a warring issue took a hemp
break and laughed about their differences.
It is time to stop Industrial Age
Thinking in the Information Age. It's killing Us.
Like Many folks report doing their best
"thinking" in the toilet. Maybe that's why the world looks the way it
does. We can think this peak oil thing through on our computers.
The evidence is too precise to ignore.
Changing from petroleum to bio
fuels feeds my basic common sense. The oil within the planet is not an
unlimited resource. We need to be living seven generations out, and we
are failing. Our deficit, environmental and energy policies demand
constructive change.
The next step is converting a car to an
alternative energy source. I've begun by putting the web published
writings of Bruce DePalma in an e-book to be released this summer. If
you're interested in being on the mailing list for a copy, send an
e-mail to
[email protected] .
It's time to stop taking oil
from the inner earth. Like We need oils for Our bodies; maybe the
planet needs her oil for Her body. She gives Us what she can spare via
bio fuels. There are more than enough of them to keep Us going and avoid
the "Peak Oil" drama.
Dr. Elizabeth Kubler Ross
in her boo k
The Wheel of Life: A Memoir of Living and Dying
taught me 'once I learned
that I could do without, the rest was easy.' She's right. It's
time for us to learn and live from 'We can do without petroleum oil'
and it's resulting "Peak Oil" drama.' We can do without petroleum
if petroleum is killing us. Carolyn Myss said in her book
Anatomy Of Spirit that Wisdom Erases Karma. It is wise to learn the
lessons of the past so we don't have to repeat them.
Yes, We may be too late, but if
We put the conversions on a Project Manager, People who are now being
told to kill, soldiers, can be re-directed to save the planet as well as
ourselves. We can get the job done. It's worth an accomplishment.
The way we are doing things
with petroleum is about to kill up to 5.5 billion (yes BILLION) of us if
we fail to act. This knowledge has forced me to drop much of my life
and focus on this issue.
It's a great first project for
Us all to work as One. The web is helping Us get this done. After this
we can work on better managing and cleaning up te food supply, getting
all planetary residents computers so that issues of illiteracy, health
care and other life support information is quickly shared, building
ocean water distill boats to keep people supplied with clean water,
Please understand that the
Table of Brotherhood that Dr. M. L. King spoke about is a table with a
computer on it, and good people around it, solving problems and having a
good time.
The mechanics of the transition
can be coordinated on the web. The how to for converting autos can be
downloaded by every shop and independent mechanic. Home conversion kits
can also be available.
One more motivating factor to act now.
There is a plan in the United States to take nuclear waste from all over
the country and transport it in 2010 to an active earthquake fault line
in Yucca Mountain, Nevada. This plan calls for this toxic, extremely
radioactive waste to be transported via highways and railways. This
endangers the lives of many of us while the nuclear industry just makes
more waste.
The revenue generated by the
conversion could be considerable. The amount of local work this
conversion generates can jump start many economies around the world. A
local hemp tax could fund many business and individual opportunities
involved in solving this peak oil problem. Cash strapped farmers from
all over the world can produce an income from a strong energy market.
Current energy distribution companies can simply shift from one fuel to
another. Everybody wins.
Continuing to live a lifestyle
where our engines are polluting our air is just plain stupid, and
stupid has consequences. (Just trying to lighten up - smile, we can do
this.)
Blessings to you and yours and
thanks for all the work you do on this and all other empowerment
issues.
Please
e-mail me to share your
solution based thoughts. There is nothing to fear but fear.
We are overcoming now.

Our
time is rich in inventive minds, the inventions of which could
facilitate our lives considerably. We are crossing the seas by
power and utilize power also in order to relieve humanity from all
tiring muscular work. We have learned to fly and we are able to
send messages and news without any difficulty over the entire world
through electric waves.
However, the production
and distribution of commodities is entirely unorganized so that
everybody must live in fear of being eliminated from the economic
cycle, in this way suffering for the want of everything.
Furthermore, people living in different countries kill each other at
irregular time intervals so that also for this reason any one who
thinks about the future must live in fear and terror. This is due
to the fact that the intelligence and the character of the masses
are incomparably lower than the intelligence and character of the
few who produce something valuable for the community.
I trust that posterity
will read these statements with a feeling of proud and justified
superiority.”
ALBERT EINSTEIN – 1938
From His
Most Amazing Book
Out Of My Later Years
When the problem is we
are running out of one energy source, the solution is to immediately
implement the use of abundant clean, natural energy sources.
If there was ever a
time for common sense and working together, it's now.
Contrary to what some
"experts" say, we have an abundance of energy sources available to
us. From a list provided by
David Crockett
Williams are
just a few examples.

Since the problem is we are
running out of oil, the solution is to immediately move to clean,
safe alternative energies. No drama required, just positive
action. Bio fuels like hemp, soy and other oils burn clean too. We
have the tools...each other, computers and alternative energies and
fuels.
Thousands of mechanics world wide can
find work converting the autos of family and friends from petro to
alternative energies. These independent mechanics will empower many
industries around them, and areas where there is little work can
become booming economies.
Here's information on another
alternative fuel, hemp.

Revenue from a local hemp tax could

Fuels Room
"This (HEMP) plant is the
earth's number one biomass resource or fastest growing annual
plant for agriculture on a worldwide basis, producing up to 14 tons
per acre. This is the only biomass source available that is
capable of producing all the energy needs of the U.S. and the
world."
3, Jack Herer's Hemp Bible
-
The Emperor Wears No Clothes
Chapter 9 Economics: Energy,
Environment and Commerce
"Energy
& the Economy
The book Solar Gas,
Science Digest, Omni magazine, The Alliance for Survival, the Green
Party of Germany, the United States and others put the total figure
of our energy costs at 80% of the total dollar expense of living for
each human being.
In validation, 82%
of the total value of all issues traded on the New York Stock
Exchange and other world stock exchanges, etc., are tied directly
to:
- Energy producers
such as Exxon, Shell Oil, Conoco, Con-Edison, and so forth.
- Energy
transporters such as pipeline companies, oil shipping and delivery
companies.
- Refineries and
retail sales of Exxon, Mobil, Shell, So. California Edison,
Con-Edison, etc."
"Each acre of hemp would
yield 1,000 gallons of methanol. Fuels from hemp, along with the
recycling of paper, etc., would be enough to run American virtually
without oil."
4.
Cannabis Fuel
"In the early 1900s, Henry
Ford and other futuristic, organic, engineering geniuses recognized
(as their intellectual, scientific heirs still do today) an
important point - that up to 90 percent of all fossil fuel used in
the world today (coal, oil, natural gas, etc.) should long ago have
been replaced with biomass such as: cornstalks, cannabis, waste
paper and the like. Biomass can be converted to methane, methanol or
gasoline at a fraction of the current cost of oil, coal, or nuclear
energy - especially when environmental costs are factored in - and
its mandated use would end acid rain, end sulfur-based smog, and
reverse the Greenhouse Effect on Our planet - right now!*
*Government and oil and coal companies, etc., will insist that
burning biomass fuels is no better than using up Our fossil fuel
reserves, as far as pollution goes; but this is patently untrue.
Why? Because, unlike fossil fuels, biomass comes from living (not
extinct) plants that continue to remove carbon dioxide pollution
from Our atmosphere as they grow, through photosynthesis.
Furthermore, biomass fuels do not contain sulfur."
5. Energy Farming
A Practical Answer To
America's Farming, Energy And Environmental Crises
by Lynn Osburn
"Biomass is the term used
to describe all biologically produced matter. World production of
biomass is estimated at 146 billion metric tons a year, mostly wild
plant growth. Some farm crops and trees can produce up to 20 metric
tons per acre of biomass a year. Types of algae and grasses may
produce 50 metric tons per year. Dried biomass has a heating value
of 5000-8000 Btu/lb., with virtually no ash or sulfur produced
during combustion. About 6% of contiguous United States land area
put into cultivation for biomass could supply all current demands
for oil and gas. And this production would not add any net carbon
dioxide to the atmosphere."
6.
Mass. Norml on Hemp Fuel
"Fuel:
Farming 6% of the
continental U.S. acreage with biomass crops would provide all of
America's energy needs.
Hemp is Earth's number-one
biomass resource; it is capable of producing 10 tons per acre in
four months.
Biomass can be converted to
methane, methanol, or gasoline at a cost comparable to petroleum,
and hemp is much better for the environment. Pyrolysis
(charcoalizing), or biochemical composting are two methods of
turning hemp into fuel.
Hemp can produce 10 times
more methanol than corn.
Hemp fuel burns clean.
Petroleum causes acid rain due to sulfur pollution.
The use of hemp fuel does
not contribute to global warming."
7.
Gasoline &
Hemp
"And hemp has a lot going
for it as a fuel.
Rudolf Diesel, the inventor
of the diesel engine, designed it to run on vegetable and seed oils
like hemp; he actually ran the thing on peanut oil for the 1900
World's Fair. Henry Ford used hemp to not only construct cars but
also fuel them.
As an alternative to
methanol, hemp has at least one glowing report: the plant produces
up to four times more cellulose per acre than trees. And a hemp crop
grows a little quicker than a forest.
As for an alternative to
petroleum,
• Hemp grows like mad from
border to border in America; so shortages are unlikely. And, unlike
petrol, unless we run out of soil, hemp is renewable."
8.
Hemp Oil Fuels and How To Make Them
"• Growing and harvesting
the stuff has much less environmental impact than procuring oil.
• Hemp fuel is
biodegradable; so oil spills become fertilizer not eco-catastrophes.
• Hemp fuel does not
contribute to sulfur dioxide air poisoning.
• Other noxious emissions
like carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons are radically slashed by using
“biodiesel.”
• Hemp fuel is nontoxic and
only a mild skin irritant; anybody who’s ever cleaned out an old
carburetor with gasoline can confirm the same is not true for
petrol.
• Growing hemp for fuel
would be a tremendous boon for American farmers and the agricultural
industry, as opposed to people like, say, the Bush family."

Hemp - Lifeline to the Future
Chris Conrad has in his
book a chapter on Energy Independence & Security.
Page 108:
"During the Second World
War, the head of the Hemp for Victory program explained that hemp
was again powering it own mechanical processing and generating a 50
percent energy surplus."
10.
Alternative energy solutions
"Studies have also been
conducted to demonstrate the viability of hemp oil as a fuel. Hemp
oil converts fairly simply into a biodiesel fuel once mixed with
caustic lye dissolved in methanol, a technique which makes the oil
less viscous and more combustible. Environmental defense attorney
Don Wirtshafter, (proprietor of the Ohio Hempery, the company
providing the oil) notes that fuel and glycerine are generated from
the process, and the glycerine can be used to make soap or candles.
Potassium hydroxide used as the caustic agent results in fertilizer.
The only modification made to the hemp car was the replacement of
rubber hoses with synthetic rubber tubes - biodiesels erode rubber."
