| World Oil Production: Peaking & Its Mitigation |
| Speaker: Robert Hirsch, Ph.D., Senior Energy Program Advisor at SAIC |
| Dr. Hirsch will discuss the peaking of world oil production, which he describes as the world's first ever discontinuity in energy -- a sudden limit on the supply of a commodity that is essential to the functioning of the world economy. A number of experts forecast that peaking of conventional oil production will occur in this decade or the next. Given today's huge world oil consumption, Dr. Hirsch will argue that oil peaking will likely lead to worldwide oil shortages and oil prices far beyond today's levels, seriously impacting the economies of all nations. He will discuss how massive mitigation measures, implemented well in advance of the event, could greatly reduce the damage. | |
