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.

Big Rise Seen in Demand for Energy
The news here is that the New York Times has been forced to acknowledge that rise although they make sure to misdefine and mischaracterize Peak Oil: "[the report] dismisses predictions from so-called peak oil theorists that the world’s oil deposits are on the decline; quite the contrary, the industry’s view is that the world’s resources remain abundant.
'Fortunately, the world is not running out of energy resources,' the report says in a 40-page summary. 'Coal, oil and natural gas will remain indispensable to meeting total projected energy demand growth.'" J.O.

NYC: 1. Subway Service Reduced 2. Explosion
These two events a day apart raise questions about the reliability of the city's decaying infrastructure. You won't be surprised to hear, by the way, that the assurances regarding asbestos following yesterday's explosion exactly mirror those following 9/11: "Not as bad as we feared;" "No asbestos in the air." As they did after 9/11, the authorities are relying on air rather than dust tests (which have indeed been found to contain asbestos) because the results are more in their favor. The quality of the equipment they're using should also be examined. After 9/11 EPA used equipment that was 20 years out of date. For every fiber of asbestos they found, independent contractors found nine. The risk of cancer from the asbestos alone could be one person in ten. J.O.
