The Energy Puzzle, Part One: "World Oil Supply: At The Turning Point?"
Doubletree Hotel, 1000 NE Multnomah, Portland, Oregon, USA
Speaker: John Kaufmann, Senior Policy Analyst, Oregon Department of Energy
Peak oil is the premise that world oil production has reached its maximum and will soon begin to decline, with major economic and social implications. This breakfast presentation includes evidence demonstrating that the peak is imminent and identifies supply alternatives: enhanced oil recovery, nuclear power, coal, oil sands and oil shale, hydrogen, and renewables. Kaufmann will explore the likely impacts of peak oil on society and possible demand-side solutions, including recommendations from Portland's Peak Oil Task Force.
