[|The peak of oil production is passed]
Dr Michael Lardelli from the University of Adelaide looks at how the bulk of the world's oil production comes from a relatively small number of very large fields discovered decades ago. The rate of world oil production has been maintained at current levels only by finding and bringing on line an increasing number of smaller fields, but the financial cost and the energy required to find and develop these new fields is constantly increasing. According to Dr Lardelli the so-called peak of oil production was actually in 2008. [|Read Transcript]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy
 * Energy** - In physics, energy (from Greek ἐνέργεια - energeia, "activity, operation", from ἐνεργός - energos, "active, working" is a quantity that is often understood as the ability to perform work.


 * Distributed generation** refers to power generation at the point of consumption. Generating power on-site, rather than centrally, eliminates the cost, complexity, interdependencies, and inefficiencies associated with transmission and distribution.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embodied_energy
 * Embodied energy** – The commercial energy (fossil fuels, nuclear, renewable) that was used in the work to make any product, bring it to market, and dispose of it.

//**Energiewende**// ( [|German] for //[|Energy transition] // ) is the transition by [|Germany] to a sustainable economy by means of [|renewable energy], [|energy efficiency] and [|sustainable development].

Australia
[|Sustainable Living - what are RECs?]

The Government has set a target, for 20% of Australia's electrical energy needs to come from renewable energy sources, by 2020. To do this they've set up a system of renewable energy certificates which you can trade or sell to recoup the cost of installing, but there's another view that retaining your RECs puts more pressure on power companies to try harder to meet their green energy targets than simply buying your renewable energy 'currency.'

[|The other climate debate]

Wall to wall coverage of carbon trading has eclipsed another scheme aimed at overhauling Australia's dirty power industry. How to find tens of billions of dollars to get renewable energy to take over from coal power.

A century of subsidies to oil companies is long enough. It's time to end the taxpayer giveaways to an industry that’s rarely been more profitable, and double down on investments in an energy industry that has never been more promising. - [|Barack Obama] (2012)
