- – NR 997: Hot Topics - The Question of Peak Oil (two credits)
A course for graduate students in Spring 2007 M 4 - 6: This course will explore the question of "peak oil", its scientific basis, economic and geopolitical questions surrounding it, and its consequences for American society. "Peak oil" is defined as the point at which half the globe's oil resource (and, as well, natural gas) is used up, and what happens, economically and geopolitically, as a consequence when that point is passed. The work of petroleum geologists Kenneth Deffeyes and Colin Campbell, environmental conservationist Richard Heinberg, economist Matthew Simmons, and journalist/land use planner James Howard Kunstler will be featured. Discussion will be integrated with the companion issue of greenhouse gasses and climate change. - – The Canola Strollas: Aislinn Johnson
