Thank you for this excellent summary of the ASPO conference. Just one thing to add: The post says "How would you be living if the gasoline that gets you to work, the diesel that grows and delivers your food, and your heating oil all cost $7 a gallon?" -- Indeed, how would you? But for your information: the PRESENT price of gasoline in Norway (Europe's highest, I admit) is already $6.88 per US gallon.
In other words: $7 per gallon for fuel? No sir, I'm afraid it'll be quite a bit higher soon enough.

Thanks for sharing those observations.

At any point did population growth projections enter the discussions?

ipipotash.org

This is the easiest graph I could find. I read or heard an item the other day saying that by 2030 the global population would grow by 2.5 billion. That ascending line in itself will be frought with energy demand.

Thx
