Introduction to ERoEI.
Energy Bulletin readers would have found little difficulty in accepting the critical importance of what Cobb calls “net energy” to the world’s energy future. However net energy is a notoriously difficult figure to pin down.
WCCO-TV in Minnesota began broadcasting the first US news series that explicitly covers peak oil.
As the world moves ever closer to the time when vital, finite energy resources begin to decline, we need to know not how much oil, natural gas, coal or uranium is left; rather, we need to know how much usable energy is left in these resources.
I’d like to delve into some of the errors and half-truths surrounding Peak Oil catastrophism, not as encouragement for those who want to party on blindly into the end of oil, which would be tragic, but as a way of refining and bolstering those arguments around Peak Oil that are valid.

We need science-based solutions that can be retrofitted into our existing energy chain. We must continually seek to increase the efficiency of converting energy into heat and power. And we must somehow get our respective governments to get serious about a program of international energy research and development
Today’s Paul Reveres of “peak oil” aren’t waiting for Washington to save us from apocalypse. They’re already planting gardens and drafting city plans for the days when oil is gone. [Favorable article on the peak oil movement.]

Scheduled for Saturday, March 18 at 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. ET. Frank Sesno explores a frightening energy scenario. The events depicted are hypothetical, but oil experts believe the scenario is entirely plausible. His interviews with energy experts reveal that we are nearing the point at which the world will consume more oil than can be pumped.
