Implications Fukushima

Fukushima nuclear power plant accident at attracting worldwide attention. Much has been written about the accident, but hidden from Eye readers are the two most important topics regarding the future of world energy - nuclear energy and hydrogen.
These two themes - favorite themes, the so-called "Experts" who mention them every time, when it comes to the peak of oil production, which reached a world 2005m. We go down into hydrogen and atomic energy when run out of oil - they exclaimed. Fukushima reminded the world about the qualifications of those experts. And hydrogen, and nuclear power have huge cons and able to replace oil. Fukushima, struck out from a short list of possible replacements of oil and hydrogen, and nuclear energy (which in the opinion of "experts" were so cheap that it was not necessary even to put counters).

future of the planet - the energy of card

world has reached peak oil production in the 2005m. Rising prices for oil to some extent encourages cost-saving measures that do not help and no help even in the short term. In the long term is looming sharp decline in oil production and a global war for energy resources, or just the section and use the remaining resources. In this article, as in Many others mentioned the growing demand for energy. This outdated look. Ahead - is sharply declining world oil production, the authors time to forget the phrase "Growing demand" and to adopt a "declining production."
Unfortunately for the stage "energy card" followed by another - "the death of 90% of the population" which the authors do not even want to think - they have a glimmer hope that there will be an engineer-scientist and solve the problem. Unfortunately the engineer-scientist is not coming - University in which he would have to learn long lets lawyers.

Where spare capacity for oil?

so-called "experts" like talk about the reserve powers Russia, Saudi Arabia, OPEC, etc. Called the incredible numbers - six million barrels a day - for only one of Saudi Arabia. Where are these so-called "experts" now? Where are the spare capacity for oil? Oil prices rise despite the fact that oil consumption in Japan fell by 2 million barrels a day. How to explain the rise in oil prices?
explanation is simple - the whole rag-tag that links the rise and fall of oil prices with an increase in storage oil reserves in the U.S., speculation, etc., just a bunch of cheats and gadalschikov the tea leaves. The gang hides (and probably does not understand) from the public critical fact - the world has reached peak oil production in the 2005m and production began to fall sharply. We are all on the plane, which dramatically lose altitude. Fuel in the tanks is no more and ahead of a hard landing.

Pipelines - a hidden factor of the energy crisis

graph above the fall in oil production in Alaska. Oil from fields in Alaska is transported through a pipeline that runs through Canada to the United States. The pipeline is designed for approximately 50 million tons per year. Mining oil in Alaska, as we have seen falls ... - and is close to the mark of a minimum capacity of the pipeline, after which the pipeline will have to close.
How does this relate to Russia and all world oil production?
Russian oil transported by a very similar pipelines from western Siberia. Mining there began to fall, and many feel that this process, though very unpleasant, but long. No, not long. For several years, production may fall so that pipelines transporting crude oil will be decommissioned, and Russia quickly goes to the state energy paralysis - No oil, no gasoline or kerosene or diesel will not do!
similar situation is possible in other parts of the world.

Obama is pushing a plan to reduce imports Oil

That's what I'll write a separate article, but I just now noticed that the plan for this measure is enforced. Pushed it, not because there are technologies that will replace imported oil, and the fact that oil imports in the near future will not be.
In this regard, I want to say thank you, Vladimir Putin, which is right in the very moment when there will be oil on world markets, he managed to spend all of Russia's oil reserves, due to which firmly established first place in the list of the dumbest public figures in world history. After all, it is necessary so to try - from the country better than anyone in the world prepared for the world energy crisis, the short term to make the country worse prepared for all the world energy crisis. Ah yes Putin, ah yes son of a bitch.

HSE offers to cancel export duties on oil

About this initiative have written, but no one mentioned that stands behind it.
HSE sort of think tank, proposed reforms in the interests of the West. Sort of, because there is no drain in the center ... But this is not important.
proposal as litmus paper shows for whose benefit acts HSE.
world has reached peak oil production in the 2005m. In Russia, as there has been a sharp drop in oil production. In the interest of the West - to throw into the market as much oil, even if the production - the predatory, the bill still will not come West.
in Russia's interests - to save oil, extract it wisely, for as long as necessary for the country and so that ultimately get from the fields as much as possible.
HSE proposes to cancel duty to stop refine oil in Russia (not to export petroleum products and crude oil), increasing petrol prices, increase production (In the short term, long-term - will collapse, but the HSE is not a problem in their country will not be).

• Cancellation fees - an incentive to export as much as possible oil - in the interests of the West.
• stop refining in Russia - an incentive to export as much oil to the West, and staging the country's energy dependence on the West (oil will go to the West, gasoline will be coming from the West, as many will decide in the West) - a move for West
• Improvement gasoline prices would reduce gasoline consumption in Russia and to increase oil exports to the West - a move in the interests of the West.
• increase oil production (at the expense of recoverability of the fields) - a move in the interests of the West.

situation with the HSE requires the urgent attention of the punitive organs. If Russia is planning to get rid of from colonial rule - one of the first strikes have put on the HSE. This office acts against the interests of Russia and if it has a right to exist, it is not in Russia and not under that name.
And here is the proof - a new law on oil, "oil companies want ban reduce production Oil!
