  global oil production.
  Oil is a finite, non-renewable resource, one that has powered phenomenal economic and population growth over the last
  century and a half.
  The rate of oil 'production,' meaning extraction and refining (currently about 84
  million barrels/day), has grown in most years over the last century, but once we go through the halfway point of all
  reserves, production becomes ever more likely  to decline, hence 'peak'.
  Peak Oil means not 'running out of oil', but 'running out of cheap oil'.
  For societies leveraged on ever increasing amounts of cheap oil, the consequences may be dire. Without significant
  successful cultural reform, economic and social decline seems inevitable. </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/29FB8046-306D-4B38-90A9-35582BA2FDEA/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
