Letter to the Editor of the New York Times
July 17, 2007
The article on the world's energy challenge, (Big Rise Seen in Demand for Energy) mischaracterizes what Peak Oil advocates believe. We do not suggest that the world is running out of oil. Peak Oil means that production, particularly of 'easy oil' which is cheaper to obtain, reaches a peak after which it declines, becoming harder and more expensive to get. In a time of rising demand such as the article describes, the growing discrepancy can have devastating economic and social consequences. In fact, the IEA report corroborates what Peak Oilists have been warning for a long time.

Good letter, Jenna.

Housing and unemployment

"Does 5% of the total workforce losing their jobs seem extreme? If you accept that 3.5 million construction jobs out of 8 million are likely to vanish, and a million real estate and lending-related jobs will disappear, that's already 4.5 million. If you consider the millions of manufacturing and retail jobs which are housing-dependent, then it's no stretch to reckon another million jobs will be lost as housing starts and renovations plummet. And there's your 5.6 million jobs lost. As those paychecks vanish from retail and leisure outlets, doesn't it make sense that employment in those areas will fall along with sales? When you consider the entire chain of spending which flows from housing, it's not hard to imagine even more jobs falling by the wayside as consumer spending falls."
Please send this article out to as many people as you can.

Interesting stuff, "getting more out of what we have already discovered" is a rather old problem, with ingenious answers but still doesn't solve the original problem.
