solasaurus rated 2 months ago- From the page: "The Olduvai Gorge Theory was first laid out by Richard Duncan in 1989, when he observed that world energy per capita had been declining for a decade. He developed the concept of Electrical Civilization, the way of life made possible by widespread and abundant electricity and set it to the period in which world energy per capita is above 30% of its all-time peak. The Theory was postulated it in the following way: * Industrial Civilization can be described by a single pulse waveform of duration X, as measured by average energy-use per person per year. * The life-expectancy of Industrial Civilization is less than one-hundred (100) years: i.e., X < 100 years."

Richard Duncan's Olduvai Theory is re-assessed with the latest available data and modern fossil fuel depletion models. On the second half it is analyzed how can alternative energy sources fill the gap left by those finite resources.

Water. Topsoil. Fisheries. Seeds. Arable land. Minerals. Copper. Food. - Societal Atomization - Economic Globalization: Financialization, Outsourcing, Institutional lag The Oil Drum (TOD) is all about Peak Oil and the collapse of our energy resources...
