Posted in ASPO, Comment, Energy Demand, Future Scenarios, Oil, Transport on October 16, 2011 | 3 Comments »
The recent ASPO/SEAI event, which was headlined by a presentation from the IMF on Chapter 3 of their April 2011 WEO, has prompted some further thinking on the issue of Ireland’s strategy for risk management and resilience building. Probably the most important statement by Dr. Kumhof was If there is a non-negligible risk of future [...]

Watching Barack Obama walk off Airforce One this morning in Dublin airport into a very blustery day, it inspired me to take a look at the Eirgrid website to see what kind of power our wind turbine fleet is generating.
IMF WEO 2011: Oil Scarcity, Growth, and Global Imbalances
Posted in ASPO, Comment, Energy Demand, Energy Supply, Future Scenarios, Oil, Reports on May 15, 2011 | 2 Comments »
The latest International Monetary Fund (IMF) World Economic Outlook (WEO) published last month (April 2011) makes for very interesting reading, Chapter 3 specifically: “Oil Scarcity, Growth, and Global Imbalances”. Considering the findings of the report, it’s remarkable the relatively little press the report has received, and I can find none in the Irish media. All [...]
A Review of Green Energy Growth Prospects at the Oil Economy Maxima
Posted in Advocacy, ASPO, Future Scenarios, Ireland, Oil on May 8, 2011 | 2 Comments »
Energy is the primary resource of ecological and economic growing systems (Robert U. Ayres & B. Warr 2005).
