That's Oil Folks!

Oil creation, depletion, and impending energy limits

Wednesday, April 15, 2009
Presented by Gregory Travis and David Rollo

Oil is a finite, yet indispensable resource for modern industrialized society. Because it is finite in quantity, we will run out someday. But, long before we do, we will reach a peak in production capacity, that will be followed by a long production decline. This will have very severe implications, as nearly everything we make, or do, is dependent on oil in some way. The speakers will discuss oil discovery, and depletion, and the implications for our society.

All Science Cafes are held at BORDERS in the Seattle's Best Cafe, from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m.
