Peak Oil & the Future of Energy
|
Was Hubbert right? Are we running out of oil? And if so, can we find energy alternatives fast enough to prevent an economic crash? According to Richard Worzel, a Chartered Financial Analyst, strategic planner, and one of today’s leading futurists, the subject of peak oil and the future of energy is a ‘yes, but…’ subject. Every time someone makes a relevant statement, the immediate comeback is ‘yes, but…’. To assess the future of energy, the energy industries, and our economic prospects, Richard looks at:
• Where will tomorrow’s oil come from, and what will it cost;
• What are the major energy alternatives, and how quickly are they likely to come online;
• How energy use will change, and the effects that will have on the balance between production and consumption; and
• Politics.
Together, these four topics outline our future based on energy’s role. Finally, Richard outlines how organizations can capture and harness the uncertainties in tomorrow’s energy equations, and turn them to competitive advantage.

Tomorrow's Power, Tomorrow's Promise
|
The energy industries don't exist in a vacuum. Indeed, because of their central position in our life and industries, the energy industries are affected by a wide range of factors. In this fast-paced and intriguing 'big picture' look at tomorrow, futurist Richard Worzel will explore some of the major factors surrounding electricity generation, petroleum, renewable energy sources, and the highly-hyped hydrogen economy of tomorrow to examine how they will affect the industry and its major players, including the future of environmental issues, demographics, and government behaviour. This is a provocative and lively keynote, exploring both the opportunities and pitfalls ahead for the industry.

These Fuelish Things: The Future of Energy and Society
|
Are we running out of oil? Is the price headed to the moon and beyond? Will our economy be crippled by skyrocketing energy prices on the one hand, and government-imposed emission controls on the other? In this wide-angled look at the pivotal energy industry, you will learn about the future of petroleum reserves, consumer usage of energy, how corporations will shift their behaviors, and what is likely to happen in both the immediate future, and further out. If you're a producer, a consumer, or an investor, this provocative and unconventional look at the energy sources of tomorrow, and petroleum's place in it, will provide you fuel for thought, and tools to prepare for the future of energy.
