Podcasts about cheap oil

Tom welcomes back once again the Head Writer from the Doomberg Chicken Coop. In this interview Doomberg breaks down many of the energy myths around supply and scarcity in an era of technological advancement. Doomberg discusses the hotly contested concept of 'peak cheap oil,' which asserts that the global economy will soon experience a severe decline in easily affordable oil due to dwindling supplies. Given a humorous twist, Doomberg confidently counters this theory in a manner that ruffles a few feathers amongst its proponents. Despite his animated personality, Doomberg intelligently lays out a counter-narrative to the peak oil theory, asserting that technological advancements and human adaptability would consistently flex and adapt under the strain of assumed dwindling oil reserves. This plucky chicken argues that, contrary to popular belief, if there was an imminent oil crisis, current political and economic constraints would dissipate, causing nations to rally together and adopt necessary measures to prevent disaster. Like an experienced egg-cracker, Doomberg breaks down the processes of oil refining, expressing faith in the industry's ability to convert various hydrocarbon types into numerous usable oil products. So, even when lighter hydrocarbons are at play, Doomberg insists they can be transformed into heavier substances like jet fuel, demonstrating the industry's adaptability. In laying out potential solutions to the imminent dread of peak oil reality, Doomberg sounds the rooster's crow, waking us to the possibilities we would explore to keep oil supply constant and prices economical. Doomberg avows that political restrictions would be shed, conventional oil reserves exploited, shale drilling technology would become widespread, and enormous natural gas reservoirs would be tapped. This talking Chicken Little goes even further to say that faced with skyrocketing oil prices, we would simply alter our engines to run on cheaper, abundant natural gas. Doomberg does not mince words about the central importance of energy to the economy, reminding us that despite several crises since the 70s, our primary energy use continues to grow, showcasing our resilience and adaptability. Moreover, Doomberg reiterates that we are far from exhausting accessible and affordable oil— the limitations are more political and temporary than physical or absolute. The talkative chicken does a beak drop on the shale oil industry, clarifying that while it is concentrated heavily in the US, the technology can be copied and used globally, particularly by significant players like China. To cap it off, Doomberg reaffirms that we have plentiful oil reserves, and our innovative abilities, coupled with political compromises, would forestall any imminent oil crisis. In this engaging conversation laced with comedy and fowl-play, Doomberg manages to debunk several misconceptions about oil exhaustion and the looming energy crisis, presenting a future marked by human ingenuity and widespread energy production. Whether it's talking about oil, natural gas, or ethanol, it's clear that Doomberg is no chicken when it comes to tackling complex topics and laying out hard-boiled facts.

A month ago, energy analyst Doomberg published a report titled "Peak Cheap Oil Is A Myth", and a few weeks back, I interviewed him about it. To say it ruffled feathers would be a huge understatement. Those in the Peak Cheap Oil camp have clamored for a chance to respond to Doomberg's claims, and that's exactly what we're going to do here in this video. Today, Adam Rozencwajg, Managing Partner of Goering & Rozencwajg, natural resource investors, sits down for a discussion with Doomberg -- which will moderated by yours truly -- to debate, or better "co-explore", the question: Looking at the next 50 years, is the threat of Peak Cheap Oil fact or overblown fear?

Bitcoin & Markets: Macro, money, geopolitics and news LIKE AND COMMENT!! In this episode, I react to Luke Gromen's Peak Cheap Oil theory. The basics are that demand will only go up and is price insensitive, adding in an assumption that there is some arbitrary level where oil would be too cheap to pull out of the ground. I'm on the Peak Oil Demand side of the house, where demand will fall due to global recession, deglobalization, falling credit capacity, depopulation, etc. Thanks for listening.

On this episode, financial analyst Luke Gromen joins Nate to discuss how the availability of cheap energy has underpinned our current financial architecture and expectations - and what peak cheap oil implies for the future. A central part of this story is the rise of the US dollar as a global reserve currency tightly linked with the ability to purchase oil - subsequently leading to the US becoming a major exporter of debt. How have countries with economies based on natural resources and manufacturing differed in their response to geopolitical uncertainty in comparison to those who are based around finance and the service industry? What might the response be from countries holding US debt in anticipation of a declining oil supply? What does this mean for the future of global currencies in a simplified global economy and a finance system that will eventually need to be re-tethered to the finite nature of Earth?    About Luke Gromen:   Luke Gromen is the Founder and President of research firm Forest For The Trees, LLC, whose goal is to aggregate a wide variety of macroeconomic, thematic and sector trends in an unconventional manner to identify investable developing economic bottlenecks for clients.

Dr. Love discusses why energy is so important in studies of the climate transition, and why the field of anthropology is well-suited to the study of energy in terms of the field's history and premise. Economic anthropologists, in particular, are well positioned to explore the inter-disciplinarity of energy and the economy. Sandy also drew on Tom's past explorations of peak oil and more recently his involvement with colleagues in ongoing work in net energy (Energy Returned on Energy Invested) to interrogate why these debates remain highly relevant to the climate transition. Finally, Sandy talked with her guest about his most recent work as a co-founder and developer with other colleagues of the Planetary Limits Academic Network (PLAN) website – which is providing a forum for these discussions and for public scholarship. Guest Bio: Tom is emeritus professor of anthropology at Linfield College, McMinnville, Oregon. He co-edited the Cultures of Energy reader with Sarah Strauss and Stephanie Rupp (Left Coast Press, 2013, 2016) and authored The Independent Republic of Arequipa (University of Texas Press, 2017). He co-edited with Cindy Isenhour a 2016 issue of Economic Anthropology on “Energy and Economy.” Tom has done field research on solar energy in rural Peru.

Tom welcomes Warren Pies to the show. Warren is cofounder of 3Fourteen Research. Warren explains how they attempted to map out how bear market rally's typically behave. These rallies have to fail and head below previous lows. In our current case, that would be, 3066 on the S&P 500. They examined forty-nine historic rallies, and six of them we're larger than today. We're in fairly rare territory. Usually, when we see these types of moves, the bear market is almost over. However, the difference this time is we may be facing a recession and the Fed seems likely to raise rates further. This should give investors caution. Bond markets have been signalling for some time that inflation will be transitory. Yield curve inversions are often correlated with a coming recession. The Fed may be on the verge of making a policy mistake. Their model for determining future recessions is worsening. They use a number of factors including various credit spreads, rate of change, equity market returns, and analysis of the yield curve. Most of the yield curves are inverting, and inversions often signal a recession in 16 to 24 months. He discusses their outlook for inflation and why housing is likely to slowly burn higher. Energy and housing components are sixty percent of the CPI. Food inflation is also a factor. The high costs of refined petroleum products like gasoline is affecting consumers, but most have been fairly flush with cash. The playbook we saw with Covid could become a policy tool for managing global energy requirements. Governments may choose to balance shortfalls with energy with similar lockdowns. Russia will have a hard time transitioning from Western to Eastern buyers. This is due to a lack of infrastructure, pipelines, and shipping options. Much of the world is going to face further energy shortages. They have conducted some analysis of peak hydrocarbon usage. They believe demand will continue to grown until at least 2040. We can only electrify and expand the grid so quickly. This transition has been haphazardly organized. Bottom line, the era of cheap oil appears to be over, which will continue to pressure inflation. Warren discusses the key features of their gold model, which helps them determine good entry and exit points. He discusses why they recommend large cap Canadian oil producers. Lastly, Warren outlines where inflation will head over the short, medium, and long term. Stocks and bonds have become more correlated than many investors expect. Bonds may no longer be a safe haven, and the coming years are likely to be more difficult.

Today we're looking at how Russia and India are benefiting each other due to sanctions! How oil is necessary for India because they have to import a lot of their oil while Russia is dependant on their oil export — thanks to sanctions, India has been able to avoid a lot of their pain by getting their oil directly from Russia who gets to also avoid their pain by exporting directly to India. The real losers here are the ones in Europe, who have laid the sanctions and they're only hurting themselves here.

The cost of gas has been rising rapidly for the past couple of months, and a recent VICE article reminds us that this is something that has happened before. The author, Aaron Gordon, posits that this happens once every decade or so, and Americans panic over it, but never commit to any kind of change that would impact the fundamental dynamics that make this such a problem, to begin with. Today on Upzoned, host Abby Kinney and regular co-host Chuck Marohn “upzone” this story, discussing how these crises and our responses to them highlight the fragility of our transportation system and built environment. And why it needs to change. Additional Show Notes “‘Drill, Baby, Drill' Is America's Only Idea,” by Aaron Gordon, VICE (March 2022).

The U.S. is awash in inexpensive oil. That's usually been a plus for the economy, because even though energy companies get squeezed, drivers get a break at the pump. Now, that relationship's gotten a bit hairier. Oil producers have slashed jobs and investment, yet consumers haven't picked up the slack you'd expect from more affordable gas. So here's the question: Is cheap oil now bad for the economy? Ryan Sweet, a senior economist at Moody's Analytics, joins Benchmark co-hosts Tori and Dan to discuss.

In this week's Costing The Earth Tom Heap asks what the falling price of oil means for the environment. First thoughts would be 'not good'. Lower prices mean that people don't need to be so careful how much fuel they use so what will the consequences of this be? Will this halt the steady decline in car sales? Will people turn their heating up a notch when they're feeling chilly? Those are the direct impacts on people, but look further and could the drop in oil prices spell disaster for the renewable energy industry? And what will oil companies do? Will production rise, pushing prices down further? Or with prices falling, will oil companies find it increasingly expensive and barely cost effective to reach those hard to reach oil reserves? But it's far more complicated than that. Political insecurities and tensions around the world in oil producing states all help to paint a very complicated picture. Tom Heap tries to find his way through the political and economic maze to find out what hope there is for the environment should prices continue to drop. Presenter: Tom Heap Producer: Martin Poyntz-Roberts.

Since oil is a cyclical industry, companies need to stay agile to avoid risks and take advantages of opportunities.

Toron Partner Karl Berger discusses the pros and cons of cheap oil and how investors should react given the current market conditions.

On the date of this broadcast, the community of Nelson, British Columbia celebrates Fossil-Fuel-Free week. While efforts are made to eliminate motorized transportation and turn down the thermostat, to be truly fossil-fuel-free, there would need to be a cessation of eating! Food relies predominantly on oil as raw material and energy in the manufacturing of fertilizers and pesticides. It is used as cheap and readily available energy for planting, irrigation, feeding and harvesting, processing, distribution and packaging. Fossil fuels are essential in the construction and the repair of equipment and infrastructure needed to facilitate this industry, including farm machinery, processing facilities, storage, ships, trucks and roads. Food processors rely on the just-in-time delivery of fresh or refrigerated food, food additives, including vitamins and minerals, emulsifiers, preservatives, and colouring agents. They rely on the production and delivery of boxes, metal cans, printed paper labels, plastic trays, cellophane for microwave/convenience foods, glass jars, plastic and metal lids with sealing compounds. There is of course the daily just-in-time shipment of food to grocery stores, restaurants, hospitals, schools. And at the end of it all, we use fuel to drive to the grocery store and purchase that food!  Julian Darley of the Vancouver-based Post Carbon Institute uses overwhelming data that forecasts a bleak future our reliance on fuel may lead us into. The energy crisis he points to is one that will force significant political, cultural, and social changes. The Institute suggests Global Relocalization, where communities take on a much greater role in sustaining local food systems, and ultimately, sustaining people. Darley is the author of High Noon for Natural Gas: the New Energy Crisis (2004) and the forthcoming Relocalize Now! Getting Ready for Climate Change and the End of Cheap Oil (forthcoming in 2007) in collaboration with Celine Rich, Dave Room and Richard Heinberg. Julian Darley spoke in Vancouver in February 2006, and the Vancouver-based Necessary Voices Society was on hand to record his presentation.

Dave Room is the Director of North American Operations, Post Carbon Institute. He is a social entrepreneur and post carbon activist with a strong interests and experience in environmental affairs and the use of technology for communications and collaboration. He manages Post Carbon Institute's US operation, organizes events, write policy, conducts local outreach and speaks at numerous events. He is also editor and interviewer for Global Public Media, the umbrella foundation for Post Carbon Institute.

Matt Savinar, has spent his life in California where he is a licensed attorney. He has recently focused his time and energy letting people know about how life as we know it is about to soon change due to the coming end (it might be here already, in fact) of cheap and easily available oil on which our industrial society is built. His website is www.lifeaftertheoilcrash.net and there you can find most of the information, facts and figures about the end of oil and how we can prepare for our new lives. His website has been the #1 "Peak Oil" site on Boogle since January 2004 and has been instrumental in rasising the awareness of "peak oil". He is also the author of The OIl Age is Over: What to Expect as the World Runs Out of Cheap Oil, 2005-2050 In May of 2005 when US Representative Roscoe Barlett presented a report on Peak Oil, stressing the gravity and urgency of the coming crisis, he quoted extensively from Savinar's book.This show is the speech Savinar gave at the Lifeboat Conference in Astoria, Oregon this June 2005.
