Business as Usual is Over• Every week there is a crisis• Energy crisis is under the radar but it is there• Financial crises can be fixed with dollars unlike an
energy crisis• Google energy shortages or fuel shortages in news
around the world• Car & Airline Industry fighting for their survival• US$70 oil is still high & markets are still tight• Economists cannot predict what the ASX will be
at end of the year. In July 08 one predicts 6500

Energy is the New Currency• USD is a currency backed by oil• OPEC producers are tied to USD• US imports 15 million barrels of oil a day• Rising prices make petrodollar recycling
and trade balances worse• Oil producers cannot invest cash in US
banking and financial system except T Bills• Russia’s Georgian conquest was about
asserting control over energy flows• Food prices have also risen-food is energy

What is this telling us?
• Oil demand will occur in Brazil, Russia, India & China (BRIC’s) at expense of OECD
• China - 4 million new vehicles a year
• US - 3 million vehicles off the road by 2010

Competition for remaining oil could get nasty
![Page 16: Peak Oil & Global Sustainability Strategies](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051622/56815292550346895dc0b7a1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
One way to Avoid Previous Slide
• Fair allocations for remaining supplies
• Countries work together to solve problem
• Collapse of systems is averted
• Everyone agrees to consume less
![Page 17: Peak Oil & Global Sustainability Strategies](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051622/56815292550346895dc0b7a1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
This involves a paradigm shift• Current situation is unsustainable
• Financial Markets crashing is proof we have problems
• Current OECD World cannot handle US$140 oil
• Consumers to conservers and producers
• Passenger numbers on Public transport up!
• Change is already happening

No Silver Bullets only Silver Buckshot
• ELP- Economise, Localise & Produce• Grow food locally• Rail not roads• Ship goods by water• Pay people for productivity not hours• Small is the new big• Smart urban design is essential• Technology will not save us we need

Small is the new big• Horizons shrink
• The best energy to find is conservation
• Conservation starts with shortening supply lines
• Energy and food production comes home
• We rebuild local communities
• Co-operation and pooling of resources

A new currency for a new era?
“We have it in our power to build the world anew”. Thomas Paine
![Page 22: Peak Oil & Global Sustainability Strategies](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051622/56815292550346895dc0b7a1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Why a Local Currency?
• To build resilience in the local economy by keeping money circulating in the community and building new relationships
• To get people thinking and talking about how they spend their money
• To encourage more local trade and thus reduce food and trade miles
• To encourage tourists to use local businesses(source: Totnes Pound Project)

Role of Engineers in PO Economy• Develop low energy solutions – Peak Oil &
Global Warming• Teaching and retraining of service industry
workforce• Creative reuse of resources• Engineers understand energy and numbers• EROEI is key to the future• Bringing back rail• Measure energy used in communities• Building new energy infrastructure
