This article is a thorough vindication of the direction and content of Peak Oil Paradigm Shift. Noted Peak Oil activist Micahael Ruppert says of it " This is the most important speech of my life. If you read anything I've written this year, read this". One of the biggest problems facing the world is that so many people still think our current energy paradigm has a future. POPS explored the geopolitics of Peak Oil and we fully endorse Ruppert's criticism that most Peak Oilers make "only the most superficial attempt to evaluate geopolitical and economic conditions. These conditions, more than the rate at which supplies are depleted, will determine how Peak Oil and collapse manifest in our lives." Furthermore, looking at Peak Oil from a global rather than a purely first world perspective remains one of the strenghths of POPS' treatment of the subject. But most importantly from the title onwards the focus is the need to change our current energy paradigm. Bilaal Abdullah |

This article makes the point that once a person comes to
terms with the idea that peak oil and its consequences are imminent,
their worldview changes. The degree of alarm may vary dependent on
whether they take an optimistic (possible worldwide recession) or
pessimistic (die off) position, but the enormity of the challenge of
adjusting to permanent oil scarcity tends to tends to put everything
else in a different perspective. Bilaal AbdullahRead more here |

As we stated in Peak Oil Paradigm Shift, Venezuela is
demanding recognition of its vast heavy oil resources in the Orinoco
region. As supplies of conventional, light, sweet crude decline
worldwide, the importance of Venezuela's heavy oil gains in
geopolitical importance. Unlike oil sand and oil shale, this is simply
extra heavy crude oil that is liquid in the underground reservoirs, but
coagulates when brought to the surface. The technological challenges
are much more manageable and the rates of production can be much higher
with lower environmental degradation. Thus both Venezuela and the
Middle East are center stage in present and future resource wars...stay
tuned. Bilaal AbdullahRead more here

Britain facing large energy gap |

Within a decade Britain may be generating only 80% of the
electricity it needs. A panel of experts recently concluded that even
with increased renewable energy programs and expanded nuclear power,
fossil fuels will remain the dominant energy source. With Britain now
a net importer of oil and natural gas, due to declining North Sea
production, its continued adventures in the Middle East as America's
junior partner in securing access to the region's oil supplies seems
set to continue.
