The seminar was okay. We ended up spending about 3 hours there which was not what I expected, since the talk was only supposed to be an hour and a half. Basically, he said that we are running out of the coal and oil resources, which is a given. They've been saying that for years. He gave some ideas on where else we can get energy from but no one really knows how to extract the energy from these other sources. It was standing room only and then some in this lecture hall. My videotaping is definitely not the best quality b/c they put us at the back of the room. Oh well at least they will be able to hear the lecture (I hope).
Some tidbits:
- By 2050, the world will have a population of 10 Billion - We have about 6.5 Billion today
- Within 10 years, oil productions will peak (probably w/in the next few years then the amount of oil produced per year will decline every year there on out until it is depleted.
- If oil is still the only answer, it maybe a very unpleasant century.
Special thanks to my dear husband who helped me set up the camcorder and did some adjusting to help the quality a little. And he escorted me to and from the hall and was my protector in the darkness. Thanks honey!! I really do appreciate it!
