If… The Oil Runs Out

BBC Two aired a programme late Tuesday (30/05/06) night considering a “what if the oil runs out” scenario, despite the title I don’t recall the word ‘if’ being used much. Whilst disappointingly not mentioning peak oil by name the subject was addressed reasonably well. Part documentary, part drama it took place in the run up to 2016 by which time we were beyond peak. Fuel prices were high, businesses were failing, oil companies were drilling (unsuccessfully) at the ends of the earth, crime and violence were increasing, the SUV was stranded and for sale, groceries were expensive, poorer people couldn’t heat their homes…

Matt Simmons and former Saudi Arabian Minister of Oil, Sheikh Yamani are featured in the common talking head role.

It’s encouraging to see this subject addressed on the BBC, a shame it was shown at 11:20pm but still an important step in the right direction regarding raising public awareness.

TOD member Sangiovese has kindly provided this scan from the Daily Mail newspaper discussing the programme:

Sadly I expect Paterson’s opinions aren’t all that far from those of the general public.

    Definitely, the world’s oil will run out and we may not have to wait too long before this happens. This is bad news for the world’s economy since there will be a quick shift from dependence on oil by industries. But it is also good news since carbon dioxide emissions will be lessened, and perhaps, global warming may also cease to be a major problem or issue.

    Why erectile dysfunction (ED) happens?
    ED can be caused by things like stress or fatigue. But a lot of times, ED is not something that you can control. That’s because it’s often due to a physical problem that affects your blood flow.
    When a man has ED, the nerves or blood vessels in the penis don’t work properly. This prevents blood from flowing to the penis. And that can prevent an erection.
    Causes of ED.
    ED is often related to other health issues that can affect the flow of blood to the penis. Issues such as
    * High blood pressure
    * High cholesterol
    * Heart disease
    * Diabetes
    * Prostate problems
    * Stress
    * Depression
    No matter what the cause, treatment with a product such as ERECTifix Rx is usually effective.

    Better than VIAGRA!
    Like Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra, ERECTifix Rx is an oral aphrodisiac that stimulates erectile function. ERECTifix Rx helps most men with ED improve their erections. This means they are able to achieve harder erections. But unlike Viagra and the others, ERECTifix Rx is an edible film strip that dissolves on contact and usually works almost immediately. You will be ready and raring to go within seconds as opposed to the 30 minutes that Viagra needs to take effect. Additionally, ERECTifix Rx Strips are so small you can carry a whole supply tucked into your wallet, like a book of stamps, always ready to use.
    Getting an erection is only half the story. Maintaining one is just as important. ERECTifix Rx can help with both. This can lead to a more satisfying sexual experience with your partner. As an added bonus, ERECTifix Rx will also freshen up your breath at the same time with the great taste of cinnamon.
    Who can take ERECTifix Rx?
    * Men of all ages
    * Men who have difficulty all the time or just some of the time
    * Men with other health issues such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and depression
    See for yourself why ERECTifix Rx Strips more than exceed the sexual demands of every man and more than surprises the wildest hopes, dreams and expectations of every woman. ERECTifix Rx is an absolute must for sexually active men, or men shamed into sexual retirement due to erectile dysfunction.
