how many times did estimate were totally off? etc... 10:16 < parolang> Basically, a whistleblower is saying that the IEA has been smudging the numbers of oil estimates to prevent the stocks from fluctuating. 10:16 < parolang> Utopiah: That's because the issue is political, not just technical or scientific. 10:17 < parolang> Knowledge harms certain interests, so it becomes forbidden. 10:18 < parolang> But...I was wondering what H+ people thought about the peak oil scenario, whether they know what to do about it. 10:19 < Utopiah> energy resiliance with distributed sources (solar/wind) to sustain until fusion can be used? 10:19 < parolang> Or the general problem of an energy crisis. 10:19 < Utopiah> I gathered few links on the topic of energy if you want to have a quick look http://fabien.benetou.fr/Content/Energy 10:20 < parolang> sure will 10:21 < parolang> I'm afraid that solutions that require drastic technological innovations aren't going to be ready in time, or perhaps have some unforseen problems that don't make them usable. 10:21 < parolang> Like fusion... 10:22 < Utopiah> >2050 10:22 -!- shepazu [~schepers@adsl-221-77-16.rmo.bellsouth.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 265 seconds] 10:22 < parolang> Well...they are talking about peak oil in five years. 10:22 < Utopiah> as I said earlier "they" are talking about peak oil in five years for 20 years 10:23 < parolang> Utopiah: It used to be "in 20 years", then in a decade, now five years. 10:23 < parolang> Utopiah: The estimates are ranging, of course, but that's in the nature of forecasting. 10:24 < Utopiah> nuclear fission isn't ideal either, resources are also limited there, hopefuly we'll just build less useless crap :-# 10:24 < parolang> Honestly, the one thing I wish for is more nuclear fission. 10:25 < Utopiah> if you speak french and have a local proxy : 10:25 < parolang> I think avoiding nuclear power for all of this time will be one of our greatest regrets. 10:25 < parolang> Sorry...only speak English...am American 10:25 -!- shepazu [~schepers@adsl-221-77-16.rmo.bellsouth.net] has joined #hplusroadmap 10:26 < Utopiah> few days old show on fission and geopolitics http://www.arte.tv/fr/Comprendre-le-monde/le-dessous-des-cartes/392,CmC=396,view=maps.html 10:26 < parolang> I need to spend a few days to study this topic in depth... 10:27 < Utopiah> but did you check the new ITER? or news on last generation centrals? 10:27 < Utopiah> I mean they have a lot of problems too so not a "miracle" solution 10:28 < parolang> Is ITER the one they are about to build or the one that they have already built? 10:29 < parolang> Okay...that the one they are planning on building. 10:29 < Utopiah> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Pressurized_Reactor#Progress_2 10:29 < parolang> I love to hear about that kind of practical research, but it's taking too long, won't be ready in time. 10:32 < Utopiah> well, societal collapsed happened before, let's see how we'll handle it :) 10:32 -!- flamt [~root@69.158.93.2] has quit [Ping timeout: 260 seconds] 10:33 < parolang> Utopiah: We'll see whether you and I are among the lucky ones to survive it. 10:33 * Utopiah doesn't believe in luck 10:34 -!- flamt [~root@bas2-barrie18-1177715961.dsl.bell.ca] has joined #hplusroadmap 10:35 < parolang> Well...luck would be the manifest of fortunes that I have no knowledge of. 10:36 < parolang> But, knowledge is power, as always, which is why I need to study the problem in depth to determine to what degree of certainty is the energy crisis a possibility, and understand it's causes. 10:36 < Utopiah> my (crappy) attempt to counter "luck" in such a situation : http://fabien.benetou.fr/Content/Vademecum 10:37 < parolang> For instance, it's "bad luck" what happened to the Haitians, but perhaps with the right science and technology, it could have been predicted. 10:38 < parolang> Utopiah: hmm 10:39 < parolang> Utopiah: Pretty much learning the ways of earlier modes of civilization. 10:40 < parolang> This all depends on how far the energy crisis will set us back. 10:40 < parolang> Things will definitely become more difficult, but to what degree, and how will our advanced level of technology makes things easier, or make things more difficult? 10:40 < Utopiah> no I dont think you can say it will just set us back in time 10:41 < Utopiah> I mean that we should be able to levarage more recent knowledge and technology (even with an energy crisis) but also some past opportunities (thus will lower investment cost) would have disappeared 10:41 < parolang> Well, it seems that most of our progress has been on the back of an overwhelming supply of cheap energy. 10:42 < Utopiah> sure 10:43 < parolang> Then, without that supply of cheap energy, we would necessarily regress quite a bit. 10:43 < parolang> But also consider the population that is supported by this supply of cheap energy. 10:44 < parolang> If this supply is diminished, then the population would also become diminished. 10:44 < Utopiah> and economy of scale 10:45 < parolang> In many ways we've become more efficient with energy, however. But I don't know if this increase in efficiency has exceeded the increase in population, which is exponential in nature. 10:45 -!- flamt [~root@bas2-barrie18-1177715961.dsl.bell.ca] has quit [Ping timeout: 258 seconds] 10:47 -!- flamt [~root@70.50.134.28] has joined #hplusroadmap 11:56 -!- genehacker [~chatzilla@wireless-128-62-54-117.public.utexas.edu] has joined #hplusroadmap 12:13 -!- flamt [~root@70.50.134.28] has quit [Ping timeout: 246 seconds] 12:16 -!- flamt [~root@bas2-barrie18-1279301141.dsl.bell.ca] has joined #hplusroadmap 12:45 -!- flamt [~root@bas2-barrie18-1279301141.dsl.bell.ca] has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds] 13:00 -!- chupacabra [~chupacabr@cpe-70-112-123-173.austin.res.rr.com] has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer] 13:23 -!- chupacabra [~chupacabr@cpe-70-112-123-173.austin.res.rr.com] has joined #hplusroadmap 13:33 -!- genehacker_ [~chatzilla@wireless-128-62-54-117.public.utexas.edu] has joined #hplusroadmap 13:36 -!- genehacker [~chatzilla@wireless-128-62-54-117.public.utexas.edu] has quit [Ping timeout: 264 seconds] 13:36 -!- genehacker_ is now known as genehacker 13:46 -!- genehacker [~chatzilla@wireless-128-62-54-117.public.utexas.edu] has quit [Ping timeout: 264 seconds] 14:08 -!- parolang [~user@8e4a01246100775874c4f448e9887093.oregonrd-wifi-1261.amplex.net] has quit [Remote host closed the connection] 15:27 -!- Redeemer [~lorddeeme@c-75-72-218-226.hsd1.mn.comcast.net] has joined #hplusroadmap 15:38 -!- flamt [~root@bas2-barrie18-1279301141.dsl.bell.ca] has joined #hplusroadmap 15:38 < kanzure> nice lawyer 15:39 -!- QuantumG [~qg@rtfm.insomnia.org] has joined #hplusroadmap 15:41 < kanzure> hey QuantumG 15:42 -!- flamt [~root@bas2-barrie18-1279301141.dsl.bell.ca] has quit [Read error: Operation timed out] 15:43 < QuantumG> hey 15:51 -!- flamt [~root@70.50.177.112] has joined #hplusroadmap 15:56 -!- flamt [~root@70.50.177.112] has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds] 15:57 -!- flamt [~root@bas2-barrie18-1176374770.dsl.bell.ca] has joined #hplusroadmap 16:12 < ybit> you austinites: www.austinsystema.com/ 16:14 < kanzure> ? 16:15 -!- genehacker [~chatzilla@wireless-128-62-223-139.public.utexas.edu] has joined #hplusroadmap 16:18 -!- Redeemer [~lorddeeme@c-75-72-218-226.hsd1.mn.comcast.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 245 seconds] 17:04 -!- genehacker [~chatzilla@wireless-128-62-223-139.public.utexas.edu] has quit [Ping timeout: 264 seconds] 17:57 < kanzure> "My little brother just got a Nokia N900 and brought it over to show off.
