4:13 MAGIC
The slide at 6:45 is not correct. There is no way 1 b/d of added production requires a $1.3 million dollar investment.
the end of economic growth has already happened . economic growth has to keep happening in order for the economy to stay the same . If growth stops , the economy tanks .
5years ago, not bad mr Heinberg.
How's that end of economic growth working out?
Pretty accurately once this bubble bursts. It's coming.
Economic growth is overrated
Fossil fuel ? From dinasours ? Still believe that ? My God man.
Yes, the most of the coal was created during the carboniferous era some 100 million years before the dinosaurs. We are creating a climate that even the dinosaurs couldn't stand.
LOL not just dinosaurs, but all the lush vegetation of the very long era. Where do YOU think oil comes from? God?
