THE PARTY'S OVER: OIL, WAR AND THE FATE OF INDUSTRIAL SOCIETIES

General FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (www.world-wire.com)

THE PARTY'S OVER: OIL, WAR AND THE FATE OF INDUSTRIAL SOCIETIES

GABRIOLA ISLAND, BC, Canada, January 2, 2006 --/WORLD-WIRE/--
New Society Publishers has issued an updated edition of the best-selling book on the end of oil -- and its consequences -- The Party's Over: Oil, War and the Fate of Industrial Societies by Richard Heinberg.

Richard Heinberg is absolutely brilliant and more in touch with big-picture issues and small-picture nuances than any writer I know. When Heinberg writes, I listen.
- Michael C. Ruppert, author of Crossing the Rubicon: The Decline of the American Empire at the End of the Age of Oil, and publisher of From the Wilderness


Mariners often say that nine tenths of navigation is knowing where you are: Richard Heinberg's The Party's Over is the seminal book that locates us most accurately on the dangerous map of industrial life. Heinberg helps lay and expert readers alike to understand oil peak and its staggering ramifications for what many of us consider 'normal life'. The Party's Over provides a solid grounding for grasping both the unfortunate extent of our dependence on the twin hydrocarbons oil and natural gas (and other forms of "big" energy), as well as the enormity of the task of transitioning towards a 'post carbon' world.
- Julian Darley, author of High Noon for Natural Gas: The New Energy Crisis and coauthor of Relocalize Now! Getting Ready for Climate Change and the End of Cheap Oil, and founder and director of Post Carbon Institute

The world is about to run out of cheap oil and change dramatically. Within the next few years, global production will peak. Thereafter, even if industrial societies begin to switch to alternative energy sources, they will have less net energy each year to do all the work essential to the survival of complex societies. We are entering a new era, as different from the industrial era as the latter was from medieval times.

In The Party's Over, Richard Heinberg places this momentous transition in historical context, showing how industrialism arose from the harnessing of fossil fuels, how competition to control access to oil shaped the geopolitics of the 20th century, and how contention for dwindling energy resources in the 21st century will lead to resource wars in the Middle East, Central Asia, and South America. He describes the likely impacts of oil depletion, and all of the energy alternatives. Predicting chaos unless the U.S. -- the world's foremost oil consumer -- is willing to join with other countries to implement a global program of resource conservation and sharing, he also recommends a "managed collapse" that might make way for a slower-paced, low-energy, sustainable society in the future.

More readable than other accounts of this issue, with fuller discussion of the context, social implications, and recommendations for personal, community, national, and global action, Heinberg's updated book is a riveting wake-up call for humankind as the oil era winds down, and a critical tool for understanding and influencing current U.S. foreign policy.

About the Author
Richard Heinberg, from Santa Rosa, CA, has been writing about energy resources issues and the dynamics of cultural change for many years. A member of the core faculty at New College of California, he is an award-winning author of three previous books. His Museletter was nominated for its "Best Alternative Newsletter" award by Utne Reader in 1993. His book, Powerdown, won Foreword Magazine's Bronze Environmental Award in 2005.

It should be called: "Reality Check, when the Energy Junkie goes Cold Turkey"
Despite the assurances from the Oil Companies that there will be oil in the future, the rate of new conventional discoveries continues to decline well below the replacement level. Consumers not familiar with the characteristics of an exponentially depleting curve will see that it happens very quickly with little time for infrastructure or technology to adjust.
We are walking down a pier, not a hill and someday in the future, the next step will be right off the dock into the abyss.

IMHO, I think the human race simply needs to become extinct, simply because of how much infinite stupidity it constantly displays.   The governments of this world have known about Zero-Point Energy for over a century, and yet, the technology has been suppressed, so that the energy cartels and governments could benefit.  If we had ZPE a century ago, and it was well known and used, we'd be traveling the stars RIGHT NOW fulfilling the destiny we were always meant to.

But no, that is not a part of the Illuminati and Jesuit agenda, and therefore, mankind will remain as the braindead slaves they have always been.  With this in mind, humanity deserves to be wiped off the face of the earth, permanently...or perhaps replaced by transhuman descendents who WILL do something significant  with their lives and actually fulfill the destiny each and every living thing is meant to: obtaining perfection.

I think it's totally insane to proclaim doomsday over energy.

The aministration is going back to the Moon because that is a source of huge future energy.

The human race won't let itself run out of energy.
 
It's just what form it will take, not whether we will have energy or not.
