Default Peak Oil and the Destruction of Industrial Civilization

www.lifeaftertheoilcrash.net

This site honestly changed my life because it opened my eyes to the harsh reality of the future. Oil is running out at a rapid rate and no form of alternate fuel can replace it.

The author of this site has so much information from administration sources and scientific experts. I thought this was a Y2K wacko site, but when Michael Moore (from one of his books) and the Bush Administration (from Energy Department officials) agree on a peak oil scenario, you know something is wrong.

All of his assertions are well supported which is why this site is so depressing. In fact, this news is so scary that most major media outlets won't report on it.

Take this example: Oil has a 10:1 energy ratio whereas hydrogen LOSES more energy than it makes. Biofuels have very low energy gains and take up land required to produce food. No other alternate fuel can even come close to making the net energy that oil does. Without it, the industrial world is screwed.
