This advertisement, sponsored by Shell and CNN’s Principal Voices Series, appeared in Time and Fortune over Easter and was written by Jeremy Leggett, the climate change and peak oil activist.
“The bad news is that no combination of technologies can plug the energy gap if the peakists are correct. There will be a third, and last, global energy crisis. It will dwarf previous crises. Profound economic dislocation will result. The challenge for human civilization will be how we rebuild post-peak.”
It would seem so, given the CEO’s comments at the World Economic Forum in Davos earlier this year:

Peak Oil Interview on Living Green
Submitted by admin on Wed, 2008-04-02 20:35.
Guest Post by Andre Angelantoni
My peak oil interview is now up on Living Green.
In it, I discuss:
* when peak oil is likely to occur
* what specifically people should do to prepare
* what I’m calling “The New Game for Humanity”
* the role business can play in a post-peak economy
* the Relocalize and Transition Towns Movements
* and more…
You’ll find the interview at http://www.livinggreenshow.com. Scroll down until you see “Latest Podcast Episodes” and click on Listen Now beside #32.
The only thing I would change is that at one point I say that oil is running out, which technically is true (that started the day we began to use it) but the more important concept is that production is about to decline. Oh, well.
I hope you get value out of the podcast.
