Peak Oil
Crisis or Opportunity?
Castalia Hall
Ballytobin, Callan
An illustrated talk by Brian Dillon, Future Proof Kilkenny.
Oil prices are rising and people are beginning to ask ‘will we ever run out?’ The truth, of course, is that we started to run out when the first barrel came out of the ground.
Peak oil, however, is the moment in time when global supply reaches an all time high and then goes into decline. That time is round about now. As demand outstrips supply this will have a dramatic impact on the global economy and our way of life.
This talk will explain peak oil, why it is such an important issue, and what positive opportunities this crisis may bring about.
