  • Part I: Introduction
    Part I: Introduction “Perhaps the sentiments contained in the following pages are not yet sufficiently fashionable to procure them general favor; a long habit of not thinking a thing wrong gives it a superficial appearance of being right, and raises at first a formidable outcry in defense of custom. But the tumult soon subsides. Time makes more converts than reason.” -Thomas Paine, Common Sense (1776) “For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst and provide for it.” -Patrick Henry (1776) “I am aware that many object to the severity of my language; but is there not cause for severity? I will be as harsh as truth. On this subject I do not wish to think, or speak, or write, with moderation. No! No! Tell a man whose house is on fire to give a moderate alarm; tell him to moderately rescue his wife from the hands of the ravisher; tell the mother to gradually extricate her babe from the fire into which it has fallen -- but urge me not to use moderation in a cause like the present. The apathy of the people is enough to make every statue leap from its pedestal, and to hasten the resurrection of the dead.” -William Lloyd Garrison, The Liberator (1831) “Gas is running low . .” -Amelia Earhart (July 2, 1937) 1 2 Dear Reader, Civilization as we know it is coming to an end soon. This is not the wacky proclamation of a doomsday cult, apocalypse bible prophecy sect, or conspiracy theory society.

  • The End of Growth: Adapting to Our New Economic Reality PDF Book
    THE END OF GROWTH: ADAPTING TO OUR NEW ECONOMIC REALITY PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Richard Heinberg | 336 pages | 11 Oct 2011 | CLAIRVIEW BOOKS | 9781905570331 | English | Forest Row, United Kingdom The End of Growth: Adapting to Our New Economic Reality PDF Book Are economic statistics accurate? Heinberg does a great job of examining each of these in turn, and while tomorrow is guaran This is a fantastic book. Richard Heinberg. I have never understood why mainstream economic theory ignored the impact of a huge population. For most of the book, Heinberg persuasively discusses why the growth economy is ending. Heinberg, writing in the immediate aftermath of the recession, paints the bleakest picture of the world economy dedicating the vast majority of the book to predicting no sustained growth ever again and the imminence of an energy crisis. Get A Copy. Heinberg goes through all the major natural resources and explains their limitations, including oil, water, food, and metals. In other words, we will have to adapt to an energy-constrained economy. Important topic, poorly written book. For the most part, this book provided an honest look at our situation as it is and what we are headed for. Instead of maximizing throughput, we need to focus more on our adaptability, diversity, and interconnectivity. It also offers a level-headed assessment of myriad crises and amelioration strategies on a spectrum of plausibility. Negatives: 1. On the other hand, the book is too pessimistic and sceptical — it underestimates the power of new and innovative technologies and overemphasises the negative impact of consumerism. I agree with his thesis and I doubt most that don't want to hear the message of restraint will.

He has the multidisciplinary smarts to deeply understand our human dilemma as we stand on the verge of the inevitable collapse of industrialism. And he wields uncommon writing skills, making his diagnosis and prescription entertaining, illuminating, and practically informative. Not to be missed.”—Richard Heinberg, Senior Fellow, Post Carbon Institute and author of Peak Everything “There is a great deal of conventional wisdom about our collective ecological crisis out there in books. The enormous virtue of John Michael Greer’s work is that his wisdom is never conventional, but profound and imaginative. There’s no one who makes me think harder, and The Ecotechnic Future pushes Greer’s vision, and our thought processes in important directions.” —Sharon Astyk, farmer, blogger, and author of Depletion and Abundance and A Nation of Farmers “In The Ecotechnic Future, John Michael Greer dispels our fantasies of a tidy, controlled transition from industrial society to a post-industrial milieu. The process will be ragged and rugged and will not invariably constitute an evolutionary leap for the human species.

  • Part 1: Executive Summary
    DRILLING DEEPER A REALITY CHECK ON U.S. GOVERNMENT FORECASTS FOR A LASTING TIGHT OIL & SHALE GAS BOOM PART 1: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY J. DAVID HUGHES Visit postcarbon.org/drilling-deeper for more information and related resources. About the Author David Hughes is a geoscientist who has studied the energy resources of Canada for four decades, including 32 years with the Geological Survey of Canada as a scientist and research manager. He developed the National Coal Inventory to determine the availability and environmental constraints associated with Canada’s coal resources. As Team Leader for Unconventional Gas on the Canadian Gas Potential Committee, he coordinated the publication of a comprehensive assessment of Canada’s unconventional natural gas potential. Over the past decade, Hughes has researched, published, and lectured widely on global energy and sustainability issues in North America and internationally. In 2011, Hughes authored a series of papers on the production potential and environmental impacts of U.S. natural gas. In early 2013, he authored Drill, Baby, Drill: Can Unconventional Fuels Usher in a New Era of Energy Abundance?, which took a far-ranging and painstakingly researched look at the prospects for various unconventional fuels to provide energy abundance for the United States in the 21st century. In late 2013 he authored Drilling California: A Reality Check on the Monterey Shale, which critically examined the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s (EIA) estimates of technically recoverable tight oil in the Monterey Shale, which the EIA claimed constituted two-thirds of U.S. tight oil; the EIA subsequently wrote down its resource estimate for the Monterey by 96%.
