Is the age of cheap oil about to come to an end? According to many experts, we are about to reach the point of "peak oil" -- the level at which supply can no longer keep up with demand. This, say the doomsayers, could send economies spinning into turmoil and up-end our comfortable, urban lifestyles. But others claim predictions like this are simply scaremongering. They believe supply will match demand for decades to come. So who's telling the truth? 'Peak Oil' investigates.

Duh^^ Of course I know that the production curve is beel shaped. It is the same with ours (Norway) production: We stop? producing from a field when it is around half emptied, as the pressure needed to extract it becomes to high. What that overly optimistic guy wrote is that the oil is made all the time under our feets, and that it thus is an infinite resource.
We can of course keep it going for some time with oil sands etc., but that is perverted...
@98770 Thats true ...
@98770 Thats true but a bmw 3 series or a merc c? class of even the nice big e class. Isnt that expensive on secondhandmarkets. But in holland we are also loaded with cars like toyota hyundai kia..... Kia is making nice cars tough like the magentis :)
But in holland we most prefer opel thats also german quality but for an low price.
Seat is also a populair car in holland.
@98770 I know thats ...
@98770 I know thats why the oil prices are skyhigh now...... Its wrong to say i? know but... I wish asia and india never got into oil.... But who are we to force them to not enjoy life?
@marlb0r015? in ...
@marlb0r015? in developing countries in Asia are using more and more oil as well too.
@marlb0r015 thats ...
@marlb0r015 thats why Asian cars are more common in North America for a reason. there are many definitions for a "Small" car. a small car can? be anything from a micro car such as a smart car up to something such as a sedan like a corolla. there are European cars like the Mercedes Benz or BMW but they are not as common because they are considered luxury vehicles here. but the big 3 are making cars that are more efficient though. even the larger trucks a getting higher MPG.
@Clausewitzz Damn ...
@Clausewitzz Damn right in holland we even pay 9$? a gallon......
@chico280 I dont ...
@chico280 I dont mind that they did that. I only want the cumbustion engines to run more efficient. About 1litre of gas on 30kms or some near that direction (without a dozen of batterys) Then we dont have to worry anymore. And also it would be a good start to not make engines bigger then 6 cilinder 2500cc. Because it is complete nonsense to drive a v8 or more nowadays. (except for lorrys ofcourse) I dont need a v8 pick up to get my groceries. I can? do that in my benz aswell.
@Viktorsiable Youre ...
@Viktorsiable Youre right? but when it gets to cost more energy on pumping up oil then you will receive on oil you have reached the peak. And thats the explaination of the word peak oil. Not many people know that oil is unsustainable, but it will be to hard (read expensive) to receive the oil that is left. Its to expensive and not efficient. Cause noone is going to pump 5 barrels of oil when they need 6 barrels to actually pump up the 5 barrels. You will lose always.......
@luciduspostremo He ...
@luciduspostremo He is right oil will never run out... But the worth of? pumping up the oil will run out. Peak oil is the explaining word for that. When you need as much energy or more energy to pump up oil, Then you will receive youve reached the peak. And you will only lose energy as you pump it up. Dont imidiatly call people stupid for saying such things. Cause he IS right. If you think not look it up on google or something. And the explaination of peak oil.
@98770 And because ...
@98770 And because the vehicles you americans use are far from efficient. Why need a 5.7litre v8 hemi pick up? When a vehice like the mercedes e200 (saloon or wagon) fits perfectly and has lots of room. We dont drive this ''small'' (and there you wrong again why is a mercedes e200 ''small'' it aint small) You know what a small car is? A toyota aygo or a smart. The first thing america has to? do is change there way of thinking and lifestyle. Then oil peak isnt in 2020 but in 2120...

Oil is abiotic and the? world never runs out of oil ,stop lying to people
@98770 Iceland uses ...
@98770 Iceland uses one quarter of what a american uses and there is about 2 people per/km. Europeans use more because its cheaper and europeans rather small cars we just dont care nor want large SUV's we would? rather a yaris or a golf! It all has to do with price and mentality.
This is what they ...
This is what they want is it not? Otherwise the? oil companies wouldn't have bought up every patent on alternative technologies to the internal cumbustion gas engine for the last 100 years.
@Clausewitzz you ...
@Clausewitzz you have to think about Europe is much smaller than North America. In Europe, cities are much more condensed together. most cars in Europe are smaller but they don't have to drive much because their transportation is sufficient. Here, everywhere is far apart so we have to drive longer. it is just not sufficient. you know that the entire European? continent can fit in to North America. These are just some of the reasons that European consumption of oil is lower.
@Clausewitzz Very ...
@Clausewitzz Very True ! they fog our brains with WAL-MART and Mc Donalds to make us think it is Paradise here , things will level? out ... Just wait !

@DoktorRick
Over 8$ a gal is also a big reason why on average? a person in Europe uses less then half the ammount of oil per year then a person in the US does.
And quality of life surely isnt better in the US.
oil will run out by ...
oil will run out by 2057. Last time then we will witness the closure of an? oil field. Peak is in past time. Within 5-8 years we shall realise
People wake up if ...
People wake up if we use our raw? materials faster than it can be replenish it's only a matter of time and we are talking about fossil fuel here, which species would be around to dig us up as fossil fuel.
Ohh who didnt see ...
Ohh who didnt see this comming ..... Over seas? and the islands been paying WAY more than us than we are now..... they been paying $8.00 a gal 10 yrs. ago.
BOO HOO people ! learn to WALK !

@AussiePerth2011 ...
@AussiePerth2011 Don't condemn all of humanity for the disasters caused by a small group of humanity in a small part of its history. All of our problems can be traced back to the industrial revolution, which was forced on people? by rapacious, pathological organizations which wanted power OVER nature. The natives lived in cyclical equilibrium with the wilderness for thousands of years and had true happiness in power THROUGH nature.
@walter0bz and we ...
@walter0bz and we shouldn't be repulsed at the idea of going back to the stone age. The ecosystem will finally be able to heal itself, we will have genuine freedom, and true human fulfillment. Civilization is an unnecessary evil? and the industrial revolution has been a disaster for the human race.
