00:05:06,540 --> 00:05:05,050 suspicious and I think it was related to 101 00:05:09,300 --> 00:05:06,550 what I'm doing now I'm one of several 102 00:05:10,710 --> 00:05:09,310 people who has had

little bit suspicious makes it a little 106 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:20,470 bit I think people should be asking 107 00:05:25,710 --> 00:05:23,050 serious questions when I'm more than one 108 00:05:31,230 --> 00:05:25,720 person suffers through their employment 109 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:31,240 in this way and that's as not have it or 110 00:05:38,250 --> 00:05:35,530 Providence I am them

bit but basically what I'm 122 00:06:08,939 --> 00:06:06,669 here thought you about today is both 123 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:08,949 energy politics and UFOs and you might 124 00:06:14,570 --> 00:06:11,410 think there's no cake are possibly be a 125 00:06:17,010 --> 00:06:14,580 connection between those disparates 126 00:06:18,870 --> 00:06:17,020 items they're too tiny different 127 00:06:21,330 --> 00:06:18,880 subjects how do they possibly care less 128 00:06:23,339 --> 00:06:21,340 what they do it and I will explain but 129 00:06:25,529 --> 00:06:23,349 it's a long way round and it will take a 130 00:06:27,029 --> 00:06:25,539 while to get through all the details but 131 00:06:28,830 --> 00:06:27,039 it's important to understand the details 132 00:06:32,820 --> 00:06:28,840 before you can understand what's going 133 00:06:35,090 --> 00:06:32,830 on in the world now um can I the next 134 00:06:37,580 --> 00:06:35,100 slide please 135 00:06:39,980 --> 00:06:37,590 so what is a UFO well UFO stands for 136 00:06:41,060 --> 00:06:39,990 unidentified flying objects as you well 137 00:06:43,010 --> 00:06:41,070 know in this group because you've 138 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:43,020 studied them carefully basically 139 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:45,690 anything you see in the sky which you do 140 00:06:50,300 --> 00:06:48,090 not recognize is by definition a UFO 141 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:50,310 unidentified flying object this could be 142 00:06:54,290 --> 00:06:52,410 an unusual bird of a species you're not 143 00:06:56,690 --> 00:06:54,300 familiar where there could be a kite it 144 00:07:02,150 --> 00:06:56,700 could be a foreign aircraft or a design 145 00:07:04,370 --> 00:07:02,160 you're not familiar with etc etc now the 146 00:07:06,470 --> 00:07:04,380 official line is that basically all 147 00:07:08,210 --> 00:07:06,480 these things are explicable and they 148 00:07:09,620 --> 00:07:08,220 would be if you couldn't if everyone 149 00:07:11,690 --> 00:07:09,630 could just get a bit closer and see what 150 00:07:13,340 --> 00:07:11,700 they were now obviously in many cases 151 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:13,350 maybe the majority of cases of course 152 00:07:17,330 --> 00:07:15,450 people are mistaken they mystique a 153 00:07:19,130 --> 00:07:17,340 mistake mundane everyday objects for 154 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:19,140 things like they just think what's that 155 00:07:23,090 --> 00:07:21,210 and they don't know what it is but if 156 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:23,100 maybe in different circumstances they 157 00:07:26,300 --> 00:07:24,810 wouldn't know what it is but I believe 158 00:07:28,460 --> 00:07:26,310 it is false I'll say that from the start 159 00:07:30,980 --> 00:07:28,470 I believe it is false to suggest that 160 00:07:35,030 --> 00:07:30,990 all unidentified flying object 161 00:07:37,070 --> 00:07:35,040 experiences can be explained us and I'm 162 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:37,080 sure that

basically similar to the one seen 213 00:09:43,190 --> 00:09:41,910 over Phoenix Arizona in 1997 contrary to 214 00:09:45,470 --> 00:09:43,200 what you might hurt and they weren't 215 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:45,480 just flares they watched warning flowers 216 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:47,970 there was a solid object very large flew 217 00:09:52,190 --> 00:09:49,770 over the City of Phoenix are sitting on 218 00:09:55,190 --> 00:09:52,200 million people in Arizona USA next slide 219 00:09:56,900 --> 00:09:55,200 please and it seems that weather 220 00:10:01,880 --> 00:09:56,910 balloons are fitted with ruh bars these 221 00:10:05,990 --> 00:10:01,890 days it's a infamous or famous headline 222 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:06,000 from the Sun and well basically this 223 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:09,450 happened in Lincolnshire where a wind 224 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:11,130 turbine suffered an accident was struck 225 00:10:14,540 --> 00:10:13,290 by some objects and no one knows exactly 226 00:10:16,700 --> 00:10:14,550 what it was but was big enough to knock 227 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:16,710 the hell out of it and break one of the 228 00:10:21,290 --> 00:10:19,290 blaze and Bend another one so it was 229 00:10:23,060 --> 00:10:21,300 really quite unremarkable the incident 230 00:10:24,710 --> 00:10:23,070 that that's still remains unsolved 231 00:10:26,560 --> 00:10:24,720 there's been many other strange 232 00:10:30,470 --> 00:10:26,570 goings-on in Lincolnshire including 233 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:30,480 sheath being stolen and similar things 234 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:32,730 strange odd like to be seen in the sky 235 00:10:41,150 --> 00:10:37,010 etc next slide please of course them 236 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:41,160 when I destroy them and UFOs like we 237 00:10:45,830 --> 00:10:43,610 often hear me use the word artifact I 238 00:10:47,990 --> 00:10:45,840 don't often use words like spaceship 239 00:10:50,150 --> 00:10:48,000 spacecraft etc even though that might be 240 00:10:53,630 --> 00:10:50,160 accurate in many cases artifact is a bit 241 00:10:54,980 --> 00:10:53,640 more wide-ranging because we it may be a 242 00:10:58,470 --> 00:10:54,990 bit of an assumption to say things like 243 00:11:01,240 --> 00:10:58,480 spaceship or spacecraft artifact is more 244 00:11:03,100 --> 00:11:01,250 implies an up an artificially created 245 00:11:06,910 --> 00:11:03,110 object should not terrestrial it's not 246 00:11:11,830 --> 00:11:06,920 made by humans and but it's quite clear 247 00:11:13,510 --> 00:11:11,840 that these objects do appear to function 248 00:11:16,630 --> 00:11:13,520 as some kind of transportation device 249 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:16,640 for biological beings of some kind or 250 00:11:20,890 --> 00:11:18,170 another and this is one of the most 251 00:11:24,030 --> 00:11:20,900 commonly iconic gray with a big black 252 00:11:26,230 --> 00:11:24,040 eyes short creature hairless gray body 253 00:11:29,170 --> 00:11:26,240 this is one of the most commonly seen 254 00:11:34,030 --> 00:11:29,180 and regularly encountered by witnesses 255 00:11:35,410 --> 00:11:34,040 next slide and these are these are a bit 256 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:35,420 different there more human looking these 257 00:11:40,540 --> 00:11:37,730 actually czar the Nordics they're the 258 00:11:42,130 --> 00:11:40,550 kind of aliens you could almost pass in 259 00:11:44,020 --> 00:11:42,140 the street and not really look at them 260 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:44,030 if they were wearing normal clothes you 261 00:11:47,140 --> 00:11:45,530 might just think I'll a bit strange but 262 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:47,150 you wouldn't immediately you wouldn't 263 00:11:50,560 --> 00:11:48,410 react the same way as you did if you saw 264 00:11:52,300 --> 00:11:50,570 under grace they tend to have very 265 00:11:54,310 --> 00:11:52,310 bright blond hair and deep blue eyes 266 00:11:56,470 --> 00:11:54,320 they often have exaggerated features 267 00:11:58,630 --> 00:11:56,480 like speeches like extra large eyes and 268 00:12:03,700 --> 00:11:58,640 extra long chin things like that next 269 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:03,710 slide please now this is a artist 270 00:12:07,660 --> 00:12:06,170 impression of a creature seen by a guy 271 00:12:10,060 --> 00:12:07,670 like a Whitley Strieber in the United 272 00:12:11,830 --> 00:12:10,070 States but this Reba was authorized to 273 00:12:14,110 --> 00:12:11,840 write books on various kinds of things 274 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:14,120 and then he had an amazing encounter 275 00:12:17,860 --> 00:12:15,890 with preachers with several in for the 276 00:12:20,140 --> 00:12:17,870 creature like this and after that he 277 00:12:22,990 --> 00:12:20,150 decided to write about his experiences 278 00:12:24,430 --> 00:12:23,000 and he's a book called chameleon which 279 00:12:26,710 --> 00:12:24,440 was made into an excellent film starring 280 00:12:29,050 --> 00:12:26,720 Christopher Walken Eric Clapton did 281 00:12:32,650 --> 00:12:29,060 score it's very well worth seeing next 282 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:32,660 slide please this is a reptilian 283 00:12:38,500 --> 00:12:34,490 humanoid now this is another creature 284 00:12:40,690 --> 00:12:38,510 very often seen by witnesses these 285 00:12:43,830 --> 00:12:40,700 creatures tend to be often more likely 286 00:12:46,630 --> 00:12:43,840 associated with unpleasant encounters 287 00:12:49,180 --> 00:12:46,640 the brilliant Australian researcher Mary 288 00:12:51,430 --> 00:12:49,190 Rodwell has looked into all kinds of 289 00:12:54,070 --> 00:12:51,440 alien contact experiences throughout her 290 00:12:56,980 --> 00:12:54,080 career and that's what she has noted 291 00:12:58,600 --> 00:12:56,990 these are like a human they tend to be a 292 00:13:01,360 --> 00:12:58,610 bit short bit taller than average man 293 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:01,370 and reptilian features in other words 294 00:13:06,249 --> 00:13:04,370 they have scaly skin lizard-like eyes 295 00:13:09,489 --> 00:13:06,259 etc and think 296 00:13:10,599 --> 00:13:09,499 that there you'll hear a lot about some 297 00:13:12,239 --> 00:13:10,609 of these if you look into the works of 298 00:13:15,159 --> 00:13:12,249 people are David Icke because these 299 00:13:16,359 --> 00:13:15,169 apparently he talks about reptilian 300 00:13:18,729 --> 00:13:16,369 humanoids that could disguise themselves 301 00:13:21,389 --> 00:13:18,739 as humans and I'll go into a bit more 302 00:13:23,769 --> 00:13:21,399 detail about that later in the talk but 303 00:13:25,029 --> 00:13:23,779 it's not necessarily the same phenomenon 304 00:13:28,199 --> 00:13:25,039 we're dealing with here there may be 305 00:13:31,449 --> 00:13:28,209 something different next slide please 306 00:13:33,669 --> 00:13:31,459 now this is what's known as a romantic 307 00:13:35,289 --> 00:13:33,679 and these are a lot of talk creatures 308 00:13:37,509 --> 00:13:35,299 that look fearsome but they very often 309 00:13:41,529 --> 00:13:37,519 quite benevolent I should point out that 310 00:13:44,739 --> 00:13:41,539 some aliens whatever you want to call 311 00:13:46,539 --> 00:13:44,749 them some people have encounters with 312 00:13:48,340 --> 00:13:46,549 them which are very loving and 313 00:13:50,229 --> 00:13:48,350 benevolent these creatures are some was 314 00:13:51,909 --> 00:13:50,239 quite spiritual and they're almost like 315 00:13:56,710 --> 00:13:51,919 spiritual gurus who want to help us 316 00:13:58,419 --> 00:13:56,720 evolve on a ferret level others seem to 317 00:14:02,439 --> 00:13:58,429 be disinterested the majority seem to 318 00:14:05,109 --> 00:14:02,449 point disinterested and neutral towards 319 00:14:08,139 --> 00:14:05,119 us and they appear to be almost studying 320 00:14:10,509 --> 00:14:08,149 us as a scientist my study a an animal 321 00:14:12,699 --> 00:14:10,519 in the laboratory those seem to be the 322 00:14:15,129 --> 00:14:12,709 majority there are there are some and 323 00:14:18,069 --> 00:14:15,139 luckily is a minority which appear to 324 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:18,079 have a dark gender they appear to be 325 00:14:21,999 --> 00:14:19,730 very very hateful and very malevolent 326 00:14:24,189 --> 00:14:22,009 and they wish to inflict pain on us and 327 00:14:26,139 --> 00:14:24,199 they do injuries on people there's 328 00:14:28,439 --> 00:14:26,149 several people died and their deaths 329 00:14:31,150 --> 00:14:28,449 have been associated with contact with 330 00:14:32,919 --> 00:14:31,160 extraterrestrial sets the 331 00:14:34,900 --> 00:14:32,929 extraterrestrials have a play exhibit a 332 00:14:36,489 --> 00:14:34,910 very very wide array of behaviors and 333 00:14:39,999 --> 00:14:36,499 they seem to have a lot of different 334 00:14:43,059 --> 00:14:40,009 motives and agendas so I never I never 335 00:14:44,409 --> 00:14:43,069 go along with people who claim that the 336 00:14:45,879 --> 00:14:44,419 same agenda can be applied to all 337 00:14:48,879 --> 00:14:45,889 extraterrestrials because I don't really 338 00:14:51,699 --> 00:14:48,889 that's the case but I mean very often 339 00:14:53,169 --> 00:14:51,709 people have encounters with these and 340 00:14:55,269 --> 00:14:53,179 there's a famous witness who's been on 341 00:14:56,379 --> 00:14:55,279 TV lately talking about how he's 342 00:14:58,449 --> 00:14:56,389 actually married to one of these 343 00:15:00,159 --> 00:14:58,459 creatures in the in the in the spaceship 344 00:15:01,509 --> 00:15:00,169 he has like a second wife so awkward 345 00:15:03,969 --> 00:15:01,519 because he has a wife in this world and 346 00:15:05,679 --> 00:15:03,979 a family but some he doesn't meet up 347 00:15:08,879

350 00:15:15,369 --> 00:15:12,889 long but his family life is like but 351 00:15:17,199 --> 00:15:15,379 some all kinds of weird wonderful 352 00:15:19,269 --> 00:15:17,209 creatures every variety you can imagine 353 00:15:20,650 --> 00:15:19,279 next slide please you can't imagine the 354 00:15:22,419 --> 00:15:20,660 kind of strange creatures you sometimes 355 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:22,429 come across in the various it captures 356 00:15:29,350 --> 00:15:24,290 and I don't what the hell is that doing 357 00:15:31,689 --> 00:15:29,360 that during me Nick Pope blessing do you 358 00:15:34,989

didn't 361 00:15:41,379 --> 00:15:40,100 go very well at first because he was 362 00:15:43,299 --> 00:15:41,389 standing in front of the altar beside 363 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:43,309 her and the

00:16:02,079 --> 00:15:58,519 potpourri my mother Nick papist our next 370 00:16:04,900 --> 00:16:02,089 slide please now this is a picture of my 371 00:16:06,249 --> 00:16:04,910 own encounter and I was going to say 372 00:16:08,829 --> 00:16:06,259 artist impression but it's not really 373 00:16:11,230 --> 00:16:08,839 accurate is it I was walking through 374 00:16:14,739 --> 00:16:11,240 Oxford and I saw a white spherical 375 00:16:16,900 --> 00:16:14,749 object at a distance it was its parent 376 00:16:19,389 --> 00:16:16,910 sizes about the size of the quarter of 377 00:16:22,030 --> 00:16:19,399 the size of the moon and it was hideous 378 00:16:23,319 --> 00:16:22,040 I never worked out exactly how big it 379 00:16:25,660 --> 00:16:23,329 was but it must've been some size 380 00:16:28,299 --> 00:16:25,670 because a cloud passed in front of it an 381 00:16:31,749 --> 00:16:28,309 elevation of about like bats or 382 00:16:34,419 --> 00:16:31,759 elevation so um it must have been some 383 00:16:35,980 --> 00:16:34,429 considerable size and I did I did look 384 00:16:37,660 --> 00:16:35,990 into iron try to eliminate the obvious 385 00:16:39,549 --> 00:16:37,670 things like I checked to see if there 386 00:16:41,739 --> 00:16:39,559 are any balloons flying that day any 387 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:41,749 balloon sargas well this was just before 388 00:16:46,389 --> 00:16:43,850 new year so it was unlikely and very 389 00:16:48,039 --> 00:16:46,399 windy day this thing was just standing 390 00:16:51,789 --> 00:16:48,049 still in the sky even though there's a 391 00:16:54,369 --> 00:16:51,799 very strong wind blowing but some that I 392 00:16:57,970 --> 00:16:54,379 thought it's very strange um I did 393 00:16:59,259 --> 00:16:57,980 report it to nick pope some UFO desk so 394 00:17:01,150 --> 00:16:59,269 i'm looking forward to reading about my 395 00:17:04,630 --> 00:17:01,160 report and they and the recently 396 00:17:07,750 --> 00:17:04,640 declassified files hey my next slide 397 00:17:10,949 --> 00:17:07,760 please now we're going to go to energy 398 00:17:13,299 --> 00:17:10,959 now i hope you've got lots of it tonight 399 00:17:17,220 --> 00:17:13,309 but what is energy we also don't know 400 00:17:19,630 --> 00:17:17,230 what it means but how do you define it 401 00:17:22,990 --> 00:17:19,640 well it's it's very difficult to 402 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:23,000 actually define even for expert sandy 403 00:17:26,710 --> 00:17:24,770 they'll sort of a man are but it's 404 00:17:29,010 --> 00:17:26,720 basically it's an in it's an observed 405 00:17:30,610 --> 00:17:29,020 quantity of the universe it is 406 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:30,620 essentially it is 407 00:17:37,510 --> 00:17:34,610 causes change and adaptation oiling any 408 00:17:41,590 --> 00:17:37,520 kind of change or alteration of the 409 00:17:43,900 --> 00:17:41,600 universe is requires energy but it can't 410 00:17:45,940 --> 00:17:43,910 be defined even piano people I Professor 411 00:17:48,540 --> 00:17:45,950 Brian Cox in are these these experts 412 00:17:50,950 --> 00:17:48,550 they've got a TV yes I don't really know 413 00:17:53,500 --> 00:17:50,960 I'm very handsome and very clever but I 414 00:17:55,690 --> 00:17:53,510 don't know what energy is you know 415 00:17:58,320 --> 00:17:55,700 they'll they have to admit these experts 416 00:18:01,810 --> 00:17:58,330 that they're not experts in that respect 417 00:18:03,549 --> 00:18:01,820 it's different kinds of energy and of 418 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:03,559 course our body to produce energy our 419 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:05,450 bodies produce energy from the food we 420 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:09,890 eat which we can bust in US inside us is 421 00:18:15,250 --> 00:18:12,410 combustion it's the same chemical 422 00:18:18,010 --> 00:18:15,260 reaction you get from fire only because 423 00:18:20,110 --> 00:18:18,020 the various carbon hydrocarbons and 424 00:18:21,700 --> 00:18:20,120 things in our food are mixed with that 425 00:18:23,410 --> 00:18:21,710 we breathe oxygen this releases energy 426 00:18:25,060 --> 00:18:23,420 and it's for our muscles and if I'm 427 00:18:27,790 --> 00:18:25,070 happy arm like that I've got my arm up 428 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:27,800 like that it is requires energy for me 429 00:18:32,919 --> 00:18:30,530 the whole my arm in a position the the 430 00:18:35,730 --> 00:18:32,929 muscles are burning literally the food I 431 00:18:38,590 --> 00:18:35,740 eat the energy from the food I eat into 432 00:18:40,990 --> 00:18:38,600 energy which allows me to overcome the 433 00:18:43,660 --> 00:18:41,000 force of gravity to hold my arm and I 434 00:18:47,860 --> 00:18:43,670 shouldn't do that mission so wrong 435 00:18:50,380 --> 00:18:47,870 meeting again but some that's muscle 436 00:18:55,990 --> 00:18:50,390 powers basically as it is a part of how 437 00:18:57,850 --> 00:18:56,000 that works and next slide please now 438 00:19:00,160 --> 00:18:57,860 energy there's other forms of energy of 439 00:19:03,100 --> 00:19:00,170 course that is artificial energy energy 440 00:19:04,990 --> 00:19:03,110 that we get from sources outside our 441 00:19:07,660 --> 00:19:05,000 bodies which we actually burn outside 442 00:19:09,580 --> 00:19:07,670 our bodies in machines and this could be 443 00:19:10,870 --> 00:19:09,590 something as simple as a campfire and 444 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:10,880 something that's complicated as a space 445 00:19:14,470 --> 00:19:12,530 rocket but it's essentially the same 446 00:19:16,870 --> 00:19:14,480 thing we're taking energy from the 447 00:19:19,770 --> 00:19:16,880 environment and processing it through 448 00:19:21,610 --> 00:19:19,780 combustion to release the energy and 449 00:19:23,049 --> 00:19:21,620 there's other reactions course like 450 00:19:25,299 --> 00:19:23,059 nuclear reactions which I'll come to as 451 00:19:28,180 --> 00:19:25,309 well which also release energy but this 452 00:19:31,990 --> 00:19:28,190 is basically how this is basically the 453 00:19:33,700 --> 00:19:32,000 majority of the energy we have in our 454 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:33,710 society this is the energy which we burn 455 00:19:37,750 --> 00:19:35,570 our side of body comes from oil in the 456 00:19:40,300 --> 00:19:37,760 modern world and for the last century or 457 00:19:42,090 --> 00:19:40,310 more it comes from oil and oil is 458 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:42,100 obtained from underground 459 00:19:46,650 --> 00:19:45,490 it is drilled foot like for this oil rig 460 00:19:48,930 --> 00:19:46,660 it for this is normally from the North 461 00:19:51,779 --> 00:19:48,940 Sea and is drilling the vast oil 462 00:19:54,150 --> 00:19:51,789 reserves from deep below that's the 463 00:19:56,630 --> 00:19:54,160 seabed which will lay down billions of 464 00:19:58,770 --> 00:19:56,640 years ago or millions of years ago by 465 00:20:00,210 --> 00:19:58,780 animal life unless well that's a 466 00:20:02,010 --> 00:20:00,220 contentious issue are going to come onto 467 00:20:03,510 --> 00:20:02,020 all right so I may sometimes say things 468 00:20:06,570 --> 00:20:03,520 this evening which I won't necessarily 469 00:20:08,610 --> 00:20:06,580 agree with and I'll make you aware that 470 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:08,620 there is another side of the story but I 471 00:20:12,419 --> 00:20:10,570 might just mention it for convenience is 472 00:20:16,350 --> 00:20:12,429 safe which is to tell a certain part of 473 00:20:20,279 --> 00:20:16,360 the story but the energies everything 474 00:20:24,690 --> 00:20:20,289 energy is the if they call it black gold 475 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:24,700 and it is oil oil is the oil industry 476 00:20:28,950 --> 00:20:27,010 covers almost everything in terms of our 477 00:20:33,090 --> 00:20:28,960 civilization or everything all is 478 00:20:34,590 --> 00:20:33,100 everything it is run off oil it's been 479 00:20:37,529 --> 00:20:34,600 described as the world's biggest denius 480 00:20:41,340 --> 00:20:37,539 industry I would say it's actually it's 481 00:20:43,980 --> 00:20:41,350 not it is it is industry oil is industry 482 00:20:45,690 --> 00:20:43,990 it is the lifeblood of civilization but 483 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:45,700 it's the fuel and it's the lubricant it 484 00:20:50,250 --> 00:20:47,650 is everything when it comes to 485 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:50,260 civilization because nearly all our fuel 486 00:20:53,370 --> 00:20:51,850 comes from it we also of course have 487 00:20:56,570 --> 00:20:53,380 other forms which I'm going to talk 488 00:21:00,210 --> 00:20:56,580 about cole is another one we burn coal 489 00:21:01,919 --> 00:21:00,220 in olden times we burned we didn't have 490 00:21:03,510 --> 00:21:01,929 oil really and we had vehicles or 491 00:21:06,450 --> 00:21:03,520 powered by coal in terms of steam 492 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:06,460 engines steam edge steam railways comes 493 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:09,250 things like that now those kinds of 494 00:21:13,049 --> 00:21:10,690 vehicles that kind of work is done by 495 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:13,059 oil powered vehicles oil-powered 496 00:21:22,770 --> 00:21:19,530 machines and now then next slide please 497 00:21:24,690 --> 00:21:22,780 this is a normal part that is on land 498 00:21:26,909 --> 00:21:24,700 this is what's known as a nodding donkey 499 00:21:29,310 --> 00:21:26,919 and it is actually doing a similar job 500 00:21:34,020 --> 00:21:29,320 to the oil rig you just saw except it's 501 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:34,030 on land and the thing about oil is we 502 00:21:37,740 --> 00:21:36,250 often think of the fact there's oil down 503 00:21:40,770 --> 00:21:37,750 there and all we have to do to get it up 504 00:21:42,390 --> 00:21:40,780 it's not quite that simple the oil has 505 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:42,400 to come up which means it has to be 506 00:21:48,570 --> 00:21:45,610 under pressure incense the ground itself 507 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:48,580 is squeezing the oil up because if we in 508 00:21:52,350 --> 00:21:50,290 order to suck the oil up we would have 509 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:52,360 to have a pump and pump it up the thing 510 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:54,610 is you'd need more energy to in some 511 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:55,290 cases to 512 00:21:59,270 --> 00:21:56,610 on the pump and you'd actually get from 513 00:22:01,280 --> 00:21:59,280 the oil you extract at that point when 514 00:22:03,170 --> 00:22:01,290 that point is reached that oil well 515 00:22:07,550 --> 00:22:03,180 becomes useless it becomes spent and its 516 00:22:09,350 --> 00:22:07,560 in its abandoned so again that's there's 517 00:22:10,550 --> 00:22:09,360 been some issues where oil wells have 518 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:10,560 been left alone for 20 years and people 519 00:22:15,770 --> 00:22:12,570 come back to them and there there's 520 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:15,780 pressure again that's goes into the 521 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:17,250 realm of abiotic oil which I'll talk 522 00:22:20,990 --> 00:22:19,010 more about in a minute in a minute but 523 00:22:23,390 --> 00:22:21,000 assuming at the moment this is a fossil 524 00:22:25,670 --> 00:22:23,400 fuel it's a finite resource it was laid 525 00:22:28,250 --> 00:22:25,680 down millions and billions of years ago 526 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:28,260 went by fossils by microbial life which 527 00:22:33,380 --> 00:22:31,890 died then in which case it's gonna run 528 00:22:35,570 --> 00:22:33,390 it's not going to last forever it's not 529 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:35,580 going to run out all together I mean 530 00:22:38,810 --> 00:22:37,410 when when humans are no longer able to 531 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:38,820 use oil there's still be plenty of it 532 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:41,010 left in the ground you'll just be in a 533 00:22:45,410 --> 00:22:43,530 state may be too deep or without enough 534 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:45,420 pressure in areas that we can't access 535 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:47,970 it well it costs too much money it took 536 00:22:52,700 --> 00:22:50,210 because there's too much money to ronic 537 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:52,710 too much energy to actually extract the 538 00:22:59,270 --> 00:22:54,690 oil for us to actually get a net gain 539 00:23:02,990 --> 00:22:59,280 from the oil itself we extract now the 540 00:23:07,730 --> 00:23:03,000 next slide please this is a factory this 541 00:23:10,700 --> 00:23:07,740 is the it's the cipher of the Industrial 542 00:23:12,860 --> 00:23:10,710 Revolution that the big mass urban 543 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:12,870 factory which is run off coal oil and 544 00:23:17,090 --> 00:23:14,610 any kind of energy if you imagine to 545 00:23:20,990 --> 00:23:17,100 produce things which our civilization 546 00:23:22,730 --> 00:23:21,000 needs and as you can see it's got a big 547 00:23:25,820 --> 00:23:22,740 cloud of black smoke coming out of it 548 00:23:26,990 --> 00:23:25,830 and that's a that's the downside of the 549 00:23:29,120 --> 00:23:27,000 use of fossil fuels which I'll talk more 550 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:29,130 about in a little while next slide 551 00:23:36,140 --> 00:23:33,930 please there are alternatives there are 552 00:23:38,470 --> 00:23:36,150 other forms of energy which people use 553 00:23:40,490 --> 00:23:38,480 and this is one of them wind turbines 554 00:23:42,020 --> 00:23:40,500 this is one that was common it's very 555 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:42,030 common often using this country since 556 00:23:46,970 --> 00:23:45,330 it's so windy like tonight but wind 557 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:46,980 turbines have a disadvantage and like a 558 00:23:50,630 --> 00:23:48,690 lot of these alternative energy sources 559 00:23:52,370 --> 00:23:50,640 even though the energy the power to 560 00:23:54,650 --> 00:23:52,380 generate electricity is very simple it's 561 00:23:56,420 --> 00:23:54,660 a basically a big dynamo run by a big 562 00:23:57,860 --> 00:23:56,430 windmill and that generates electricity 563 00:23:59,870 --> 00:23:57,870 but there's these things are complicated 564 00:24:01,730 --> 00:23:59,880 to build they have a lot of overheads 565 00:24:03,770 --> 00:24:01,740 they need a lot of maintenance and they 566 00:24:05,390 --> 00:24:03,780 they don't last they often need 567 00:24:07,430 --> 00:24:05,400 repairing when they when the wind gets 568 00:24:08,779 --> 00:24:07,440 too high they often burn 569 00:24:11,389 --> 00:24:08,789 they catch fire and sometimes they 570 00:24:15,740 --> 00:24:11,399 struck by UFOs as well as we've seen so 571 00:24:19,759 --> 00:24:15,750 it's not not easy to run a grid of of 572 00:24:21,019 --> 00:24:19,769 wind turbines some very often some 573 00:24:22,460 --> 00:24:21,029 people say that these are not suitable 574 00:24:27,769 --> 00:24:22,470 for every part of the world next slide 575 00:24:31,850 --> 00:24:27,779 please this is a very important man in 576 00:24:33,710 --> 00:24:31,860 this story and he's what he the things 577 00:24:35,029 --> 00:24:33,720 he has said a very an important part of 578 00:24:36,259 --> 00:24:35,039 analyzing what we were going to talk 579 00:24:37,970 --> 00:24:36,269 about this evening this is Richard 580 00:24:40,299 --> 00:24:37,980 Heinberg Richard Heinberg is a 581 00:24:43,879 --> 00:24:40,309 journalist a teacher an ecologist and 582 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:43,889 futurologists and he is he's written a 583 00:24:50,799 --> 00:24:47,129 book called the party's over great title 584 00:24:53,330 --> 00:24:50,809 azimuth great title yet he says some 585 00:24:56,330 --> 00:24:53,340 basically that the age of oil is coming 586 00:24:57,889 --> 00:24:56,340 to an end because it's no longer be 587 00:24:59,840 --> 00:24:57,899 possible to extract oil there's not 588 00:25:01,159 --> 00:24:59,850 enough oil efforts to extract and to use 589 00:25:02,419 --> 00:25:01,169 but that is gonna there's going to be a 590 00:25:04,610 --> 00:25:02,429 point where we won't be able to anymore 591 00:25:07,220 --> 00:25:04,620 and what he's referring to is what's 592 00:25:09,590 --> 00:25:07,230 known as peak oil what happens is that 593 00:25:12,710 --> 00:25:09,600 the oil production has been rising as 594 00:25:14,690 --> 00:25:12,720 new wells are discovered and they're 595 00:25:18,740 --> 00:25:14,700 being extracted more and more oil is 596 00:25:20,389 --> 00:25:18,750 being extracted um there's gonna what 597 00:25:23,690 --> 00:25:20,399 he's saying is that that of course is 598 00:25:24,980 --> 00:25:23,700 finite and he says that sooner or later 599 00:25:26,149 --> 00:25:24,990 we're going to run them we're gonna 600 00:25:28,519 --> 00:25:26,159 reach a point where we can't actually 601 00:25:30,590 --> 00:25:28,529 there's no more new oil wells defined 602 00:25:33,499 --> 00:25:30,600 are usable which are viable pressure 603 00:25:36,740 --> 00:25:33,509 which we can actually we can actually 604 00:25:38,499 --> 00:25:36,750 tap what's going to happen before that 605 00:25:41,930 --> 00:25:38,509 is there'll be a peak in production 606 00:25:43,700 --> 00:25:41,940 it'll be there'll be a peak when the 607 00:25:45,529 --> 00:25:43,710 rise in the production one's going to 608 00:25:47,360 --> 00:25:45,539 stop and it's going to turn downwards 609 00:25:49,999 --> 00:25:47,370 and from then onwards is going to be 610 00:25:51,619 --> 00:25:50,009 declining oil production and he doesn't 611 00:25:53,389 --> 00:25:51,629 know exactly when that Pete will occur 612 00:25:55,669 --> 00:25:53,399 he claims it's occurring around about 613 00:25:57,139 --> 00:25:55,679 now some people say happened a few years 614 00:26:00,700 --> 00:25:57,149 ago some paper so it's not going to 615 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:00,710 happen till 2025 etc etc so not sure 616 00:26:08,869 --> 00:26:02,610 it's not the girl I met in the pub 617 00:26:11,269 --> 00:26:08,879 earlier Tara I'll call her back um so um 618 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:11,279 when that happens is in its kind of a 619 00:26:15,169 --> 00:26:12,450 perfect storm from his perspective 620 00:26:16,850 --> 00:26:15,179 because at the same time oil demand and 621 00:26:17,260 --> 00:26:16,860 the need for oil is rising because the 622 00:26:19,180 --> 00:26:17,270 world is 623 00:26:21,070 --> 00:26:19,190 lapping countries in a third world are 624 00:26:23,050 --> 00:26:21,080 becoming more developed they're bringing 625 00:26:24,790 --> 00:26:23,060 in more they need more energy because 626 00:26:26,170 --> 00:26:24,800 they have a bit of a bigger 627 00:26:29,170 --> 00:26:26,180 infrastructure more developed and 628 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:29,180 sophisticated technological and social 629 00:26:32,410 --> 00:26:30,890 infrastructure and you'll hear words 630 00:26:34,090 --> 00:26:32,420 that would infrastructure is a bit of a 631 00:26:36,100 --> 00:26:34,100 buzz word and you'll hear me say it 632 00:26:41,650 --> 00:26:36,110 several times than me because it is a 633 00:26:43,390 --> 00:26:41,660 part of this tale now Heinberg is his 634 00:26:47,410 --> 00:26:43,400 book is very interesting because at one 635 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:47,420 point he compares our civilization to 636 00:26:53,230 --> 00:26:50,210 yeast because as you know if you do any 637 00:26:54,820 --> 00:26:53,240 brewing at home expect something you do 638 00:26:57,820 --> 00:26:54,830 something you do now with the price of 639 00:26:59,530 --> 00:26:57,830 beer in the pub going up you actually 640 00:27:01,420 --> 00:26:59,540 have a solution of sugar and various 641 00:27:04,180 --> 00:27:01,430 other substances which you then add h2 642 00:27:07,180 --> 00:27:04,190 and the yeast consumes the sugar to the 643 00:27:09,850 --> 00:27:07,190 point where you actually have a nice 644 00:27:11,110 --> 00:27:09,860 pint or glass of wine or whenever is 645 00:27:13,030 --> 00:27:11,120 called of alcohol which have been 646 00:27:14,530 --> 00:27:13,040 produced by the feast and then the yeast 647 00:27:16,830 --> 00:27:14,540 dies and it sinks to the bottom when you 648 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:16,840 get this slime on the bottom and and 649 00:27:22,030 --> 00:27:19,610 Heinberg puts it very pithily actually 650 00:27:24,100 --> 00:27:22,040 he had a big statement on the page it 651 00:27:27,010 --> 00:27:24,110 says our human beings more intelligent 652 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:27,020 than yeast you won't be very good dinner 653 00:27:31,810 --> 00:27:28,610 guests this guy he really wouldn't put 654 00:27:32,980 --> 00:27:31,820 you off your food but some he says 655 00:27:34,900 --> 00:27:32,990 basically that's what we're doing we're 656 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:34,910 consuming we like the yeast consuming 657 00:27:39,100 --> 00:27:36,650 the sugar of a racist rate we're not 658 00:27:40,750 --> 00:27:39,110 rationing ourselves ete through it soon 659 00:27:44,700 --> 00:27:40,760 later I'll be gone and then we'll be 660 00:27:48,250 --> 00:27:44,710 like the yeast will just die now um I 661 00:27:50,140 --> 00:27:48,260 don't agree with Richard Heinberg that's 662 00:27:52,870 --> 00:27:50,150 important and I'll explain why this 663 00:27:55,570 --> 00:27:52,880 evening I think he's wrong on most 664 00:27:59,220 --> 00:27:55,580 things in several different ways and 665 00:28:01,900 --> 00:27:59,230 I'll explain why he is but in order to 666 00:28:04,870 --> 00:28:01,910 grasp this subject it's important to see 667 00:28:07,060 --> 00:28:04,880 the issue through his eyes you had to 668 00:28:10,150 --> 00:28:07,070 understand the point in order to 669 00:28:12,090 --> 00:28:10,160 actually understand his points in order 670 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:12,100 to see exactly the mistakes he's made 671 00:28:26,870 --> 00:28:24,260 right so next slide please now Richard 672 00:28:28,510 --> 00:28:26,880 Heinberg has a vision of the width of 673 00:28:30,590 --> 00:28:28,520 the past and he explains how 674 00:28:34,100 --> 00:28:30,600 civilization developed from the earliest 675 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:34,110 times and as I've explained to begin 676 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:36,770 with humans basically for most of our 677 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:38,850 most of our history now humans have been 678 00:28:43,340 --> 00:28:40,770 around for a long time at least a 679 00:28:44,990 --> 00:28:43,350 hundred thousand years we got a common 680 00:28:46,340 --> 00:28:45,000 ancestor for which everyone in the world 681 00:28:47,990 --> 00:28:46,350 shares which lived a hundred thousand 682 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:48,000 years ago that was a modern human like 683 00:28:53,150 --> 00:28:50,850 ourselves some people say we've been 684 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:53,160 around much lot older we've been around 685 00:28:59,300 --> 00:28:55,170 much longer then we shared the world 686 00:29:01,870 --> 00:28:59,310 with Dinosaurs etc but watch out Fred 687 00:29:04,730 --> 00:29:01,880 Flintstone so it must be true but some 688 00:29:06,530 --> 00:29:04,740 basically that's another contentious 689 00:29:09,890 --> 00:29:06,540 issue and I'm not going to go there 690 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:09,900 tonight I also cause how you define 691 00:29:12,890 --> 00:29:11,250 human because of course the full body 692 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:12,900 was there when the ender thermal and 693 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:15,210 then there was the Homo erectus etc but 694 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:18,330 some I'll go along with what Heinberg 695 00:29:23,930 --> 00:29:19,890 vision is cuz Heinberg strives this 696 00:29:26,390 --> 00:29:23,940 process as well for nearly all of our 697 00:29:28,820 --> 00:29:26,400 history we are only energy source was 698 00:29:30,740 --> 00:29:28,830 muscle power our own muscles bodily 699 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:30,750 strength as I told you as I explained in 700 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:33,930 the beginning we move things we pushed 701 00:29:39,230 --> 00:29:37,170 Paul carried dragged then that's it the 702 00:29:41,330 --> 00:29:39,240 only there were a few exceptions for 703 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:41,340 instance we live wood fires to cook 704 00:29:44,630 --> 00:29:42,690 meals and things like that but apart 705 00:29:46,460 --> 00:29:44,640 from that all our energy came from our 706 00:29:48,710 --> 00:29:46,470 own bodies from the food we ate and how 707 00:29:49,700 --> 00:29:48,720 we transfer that into motion which is 708 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:49,710 the opposite of course what a wind 709 00:29:57,140 --> 00:29:53,970 turbine does next slide please oh 710 00:29:58,700 --> 00:29:57,150 i'll go back go back sorry later now 711 00:30:00,950 --> 00:29:58,710 this piece i should point about this 712 00:30:04,940 --> 00:30:00,960 picture and this is a picture of the 713 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:04,950 Egyptian pyramids being built now as you 714 00:30:10,580 --> 00:30:07,050 according to official history the 715 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:10,590 pyramids were built by um people using 716 00:30:13,730 --> 00:30:11,850 primitive technology they didn't have 717 00:30:15,110 --> 00:30:13,740 the lever but pulley the Wii or anything 718 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:15,120 like that they basically they have 719 00:30:18,830 --> 00:30:17,130 bronze tools and stone tools and they 720 00:30:20,810 --> 00:30:18,840 dragged these blocks around now this is 721 00:30:22,910 --> 00:30:20,820 what you see illustrated here now I know 722 00:30:24,050 --> 00:30:22,920 a lot of people who study the Egypt and 723 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:24,060 study the pyramid and these other 724 00:30:27,529 --> 00:30:24,570 monument 725 00:30:29,990 --> 00:30:27,539 don't agree with that and I understand 726 00:30:31,669 --> 00:30:30,000 their points I do understand that there 727 00:30:34,070 --> 00:30:31,679 are big questions we've got to ask in 728 00:30:36,799 --> 00:30:34,080 that respect so but for now we're just 729 00:30:43,430 --> 00:30:36,809 going to assume that that's the case by 730 00:30:46,090 --> 00:30:43,440 next slide now a big a big revolution 731 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:46,100 occurred sometime in the Neolithic Age 732 00:30:54,379 --> 00:30:50,490 when we learn to domesticate animals we 733 00:30:56,299 --> 00:30:54,389 actually we basically got animals we 734 00:30:58,009 --> 00:30:56,309 persuaded animals to live with us and 735 00:30:59,299 --> 00:30:58,019 work with us and we could use their much 736 00:31:00,529 --> 00:30:59,309 we can use them for many many different 737 00:31:03,710 --> 00:31:00,539 things including their much greater 738 00:31:07,700 --> 00:31:03,720 strength now this here is say things a 739 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:07,710 donkey or mule here in Egypt and the 740 00:31:10,879 --> 00:31:09,330 donkey of course is one of the oldest 741 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:10,889 beasts of burden which has been around 742 00:31:14,450 --> 00:31:12,690 for a long time and this donkey of 743 00:31:16,340 --> 00:31:14,460 courses and making itself very useful 744 00:31:19,909 --> 00:31:16,350 pulling this big car full of vegetable 745 00:31:21,919 --> 00:31:19,919 matter and because the donkey is very 746 00:31:25,549 --> 00:31:21,929 strong that donkeys probably as strong 747 00:31:28,340 --> 00:31:25,559 as that for Big Ben so it'll do the same 748 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:28,350 workers for big guy so basically someone 749 00:31:32,570 --> 00:31:30,690 just one person the farm I can sit on 750 00:31:33,860 --> 00:31:32,580 that then the Duncan can pull the card 751 00:31:35,299 --> 00:31:33,870 otherwise he'd have to pull it himself 752 00:31:37,039 --> 00:31:35,309 but she wouldn't be able to do we'd have 753 00:31:38,810 --> 00:31:37,049 to get three of his friends to help him 754 00:31:42,379 --> 00:31:38,820 so that's gives you an illustration of 755 00:31:45,769 --> 00:31:42,389 how useful it is to domesticate beasts 756 00:31:47,930 --> 00:31:45,779 of burden next slide please because 757 00:31:49,490 --> 00:31:47,940 donkeys are not the only animals that 758 00:31:52,730 --> 00:31:49,500 we've domesticated we use for 759 00:31:53,990 --> 00:31:52,740 transportation and for labor the camel 760 00:31:57,710 --> 00:31:54,000 for example this is another photograph 761 00:31:59,060 --> 00:31:57,720 also taken in Egypt of camels camels are 762 00:32:01,490 --> 00:31:59,070 even bigger and stronger than donkeys 763 00:32:04,399 --> 00:32:01,500 and they have the advantages they can go 764 00:32:06,860 --> 00:32:04,409 places donkeys can't because they are 765 00:32:08,690 --> 00:32:06,870 adapted for the dry hot climate of 766 00:32:10,549 --> 00:32:08,700 desert and they're known as the ship of 767 00:32:12,259 --> 00:32:10,559 the desert and even in this day and age 768 00:32:14,409 --> 00:32:12,269 if you want to get across a desert the 769 00:32:17,779 --> 00:32:14,419 back of the camel is the best way and 770 00:32:19,730 --> 00:32:17,789 this this camel will take you very long 771 00:32:21,529 --> 00:32:19,740 distance it doesn't need to stop for a 772 00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:21,539 drink it can we can go six months 773 00:32:25,460 --> 00:32:23,250 without a drink it will take you across 774 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:25,470 the desert whereas if you try to do the 775 00:32:28,999 --> 00:32:26,490 same journey with a donkey the donkey 776 00:32:30,259 --> 00:32:29,009 will be dead within 10 miles so that's 777 00:32:34,250 --> 00:32:30,269 another example of a domesticated 778 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:36,600 this is a picture taken in South America 779 00:32:42,150 --> 00:32:38,650 and you can see here as a mule pulling 780 00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:42,160 the plow and again you have an idea of 781 00:32:46,830 --> 00:32:44,290 how Adam domesticating out domesticating 782 00:32:48,750 --> 00:32:46,840 animals helped in agriculture today we 783 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:48,760 use machines very often to do this like 784 00:32:53,460 --> 00:32:51,490 tractors which are oil-powered that's 785 00:32:55,020 --> 00:32:53,470 very important I'll come to that this 786 00:32:56,370 --> 00:32:55,030 mule of course is not oil powered and 787 00:32:58,799 --> 00:32:56,380 these people are sticking to their 788 00:33:00,360 --> 00:32:58,809 traditional farming methods and as you 789 00:33:02,250 --> 00:33:00,370 can see this mule has the power to pull 790 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:02,260 the plow through the soil and the man 791 00:33:08,390 --> 00:33:06,010 standing on it guiding it you need 20 792 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:08,400 people probably to do that sort of job 793 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:12,250 to pull it along some slave states in 794 00:33:16,290 --> 00:33:14,290 the in the ancient world did use people 795 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:16,300 to do things like this but but you don't 796 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:18,490 think you need an awful lot of food you 797 00:33:23,580 --> 00:33:20,050 need north lot of drink and water to 798 00:33:25,860 --> 00:33:23,590 keep them going so it gives you an 799 00:33:27,690 --> 00:33:25,870 example of how more efficient is to use 800 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:27,700 animals for things like next slide 801 00:33:38,340 --> 00:33:35,130 please then everything changed yes um 802 00:33:41,820 --> 00:33:38,350 about two hundred years ago the world 803 00:33:46,169 --> 00:33:41,830 changed completely we hit the Industrial 804 00:33:48,150 --> 00:33:46,179 Revolution and it's great k McCrory came 805 00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:48,160 around in different countries of 806 00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:49,690 different times Britain was where it 807 00:33:53,910 --> 00:33:51,970 actually started right here in here in 808 00:33:56,430 --> 00:33:53,920 South Wales you played a vital role 809 00:33:57,780 --> 00:33:56,440 because all through the 19th century the 810 00:34:00,270 --> 00:33:57,790 early the first phase the Industrial 811 00:34:03,060 --> 00:34:00,280 Revolution the Industrial the industrial 812 00:34:04,410 --> 00:34:03,070 area south wales was the equivalent of 813 00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:04,420 the persian gulf in the 20th century 814 00:34:08,850 --> 00:34:07,210 because that's where all I think more 815 00:34:12,720 --> 00:34:08,860 than half the world's coal came from 816 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:12,730 South Wales so we started off with coal 817 00:34:16,379 --> 00:34:14,290 a lot of it from this area from other 818 00:34:18,780 --> 00:34:16,389 parts of the world as well and that was 819 00:34:20,310 --> 00:34:18,790 the fuel of the first phase of 820 00:34:22,470 --> 00:34:20,320 industrial society the Industrial 821 00:34:24,030 --> 00:34:22,480 Revolution took chicken just took a few 822 00:34:27,270 --> 00:34:24,040 decades which in historical terms it 823 00:34:30,330 --> 00:34:27,280 turns the whole world is a blink of an 824 00:34:32,369 --> 00:34:30,340 eye it happened very very quickly we 825 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:32,379 have factory Springs actually springing 826 00:34:35,970 --> 00:34:34,330 up everywhere creating goods creating 827 00:34:37,830 --> 00:34:35,980 all kinds of things that we never could 828 00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:37,840 have before all run off fossil fuels all 829 00:34:43,140 --> 00:34:40,570 run off this new coals new fossil fuel 830 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:43,150 now on 831 00:34:49,690 --> 00:34:46,610 we went almost instantaneously from a 832 00:34:51,970 --> 00:34:49,700 world of mere human and animal muscle 833 00:34:53,620 --> 00:34:51,980 power to an energy source that was a 834 00:34:56,950 --> 00:34:53,630 hundred or a thousand times more 835 00:34:59,350 --> 00:34:56,960 effective more with more more compact 836 00:35:00,700 --> 00:34:59,360 and more full of energy more than you're 837 00:35:03,370 --> 00:35:00,710 more able to use the amount of energy 838 00:35:05,530 --> 00:35:03,380 you're able to use and Heinberg 839 00:35:07,110 --> 00:35:05,540 illustrated very well he says if you 840 00:35:09,700 --> 00:35:07,120 want to know the difference that it made 841 00:35:11,110 --> 00:35:09,710 when we started using fossil fuels 842 00:35:13,720 --> 00:35:11,120 compared to what we had before with 843 00:35:16,390 --> 00:35:13,730 muscle power get in your car drive 10 844 00:35:19,110 --> 00:35:16,400 miles from home and stop the engine and 845 00:35:21,490 --> 00:35:19,120 push the car back push the car home 846 00:35:24,010 --> 00:35:21,500 it'll take you days to push that car 847 00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:24,020 home if you can't even do it at all yet 848 00:35:29,230 --> 00:35:25,970 you can travel 10 miles in pending on 849 00:35:32,860 --> 00:35:29,240 traffic in half an hour with just by 850 00:35:34,090 --> 00:35:32,870 turning a wheel and pressing a pedal all 851 00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:34,100 that energy that massive amount of 852 00:35:38,890 --> 00:35:36,650 energy your body or even a horse without 853 00:35:41,910 --> 00:35:38,900 trouble with is there at your disposal 854 00:35:44,350 --> 00:35:41,920 the flick of a switch and turn the key 855 00:35:46,650 --> 00:35:44,360 it's actually believe it or not your 856 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:46,660 color family car has about the same 857 00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:50,090 horsepower as a Roman galley but the 858 00:35:53,530 --> 00:35:52,130 Roman galleys were their own slaves it's 859 00:35:55,150 --> 00:35:53,540 amazing to think of that isn't it that's 860 00:35:57,850 --> 00:35:55,160 how compact this energy sources a tank 861 00:36:01,480 --> 00:35:57,860 of petrol that big you fill it up and 862 00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:01,490 you have the equivalent of 200 863 00:36:09,010 --> 00:36:04,130 galley-slave 200 been hers or sitting 864 00:36:11,500 --> 00:36:09,020 there going that's in your car in your 865 00:36:13,300 --> 00:36:11,510 car petrol tank as miraculous for people 866 00:36:18,660 --> 00:36:13,310 who live before the age of fossil fuels 867 00:36:22,240 --> 00:36:18,670 that's a miraculous energy source and 868 00:36:26,130 --> 00:36:22,250 our entire world is is constructed on 869 00:36:32,260 --> 00:36:29,980 and of course is not only it with fossil 870 00:36:33,820 --> 00:36:32,270 fuels people say I've had people 871 00:36:35,140 --> 00:36:33,830 actually say to me well we don't just 872 00:36:38,410 --> 00:36:35,150 use possibles we have electricity 873 00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:38,420 where's the electricity come from in 874 00:36:42,100 --> 00:36:40,010 this country very often comes from coal 875 00:36:44,050 --> 00:36:42,110 and gas-fired power stations more gas 876 00:36:45,910 --> 00:36:44,060 now I'll come to that in a minute the 877 00:36:50,410 --> 00:36:45,920 changeover from cold gas is very 878 00:36:52,330 --> 00:36:50,420 important but some it comes from fossil 879 00:36:54,490 --> 00:36:52,340 fuels and electricity is not an energy 880 00:36:55,430 --> 00:36:54,500 source electricity is a way of moving 881 00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:55,440 energy from one 882 00:36:59,329 --> 00:36:57,450 to another the energy is created at the 883 00:37:01,190 --> 00:36:59,339 power station it charges the national 884 00:37:04,790 --> 00:37:01,200 grid and it comes into these lights at 885 00:37:08,300 --> 00:37:04,800 the next slide please now this is the 886 00:37:15,260 --> 00:37:08,310 downside though too this is the downside 887 00:37:18,020 --> 00:37:15,270 too it's a fossil fuel use is the 888 00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:18,030 downside to our energy source and is 889 00:37:20,990 --> 00:37:19,650 environmental destruction you remember 890 00:37:22,849 --> 00:37:21,000 the picture of the factory I showed you 891 00:37:25,609 --> 00:37:22,859 with massive amounts of smoke coming out 892 00:37:28,730 --> 00:37:25,619 of its chimney that's what we see we see 893 00:37:30,950 --> 00:37:28,740 that smoke goes into the environment it 894 00:37:33,109 --> 00:37:30,960 goes into the ground it goes into the 895 00:37:34,849 --> 00:37:33,119 soil it goes into the water goes into 896 00:37:36,559 --> 00:37:34,859 our bodies these very often toxic 897 00:37:39,109 --> 00:37:36,569 chemicals released from the burning of 898 00:37:42,559 --> 00:37:39,119 coal and other substances and oil two 899 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:42,569 releases this suit that is a very very 900 00:37:47,930 --> 00:37:46,170 young it's very very toxic now you'll 901 00:37:50,599 --> 00:37:47,940 hear an awful lot about carbon dioxide 902 00:37:51,859 --> 00:37:50,609 now you may you may question question 903 00:37:54,370 --> 00:37:51,869 now we see it Carmen darks is very 904 00:37:56,960 --> 00:37:54,380 dangerous if it's causing climate change 905 00:37:59,150 --> 00:37:56,970 that's not that's kind of a zip side 906 00:38:00,890 --> 00:37:59,160 issues it's one I don't to personally go 907 00:38:03,290 --> 00:38:00,900 along with myself I know a lot of people 908 00:38:04,430 --> 00:38:03,300 who don't some people do it's it's 909 00:38:06,319 --> 00:38:04,440 irrelevant right now the fact of the 910 00:38:08,690 --> 00:38:06,329 matter is that even if you don't believe 911 00:38:10,790 --> 00:38:08,700 that carbon dioxide is a dangerous gas 912 00:38:12,950 --> 00:38:10,800 to be to admit the other things that 913 00:38:15,020 --> 00:38:12,960 burning fossil fuels are dangerous and 914 00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:15,030 that is why we should stop this is why 915 00:38:19,130 --> 00:38:16,530 burning fossil fuels is so destructive 916 00:38:21,819 --> 00:38:19,140 and here we have here are devastated 917 00:38:25,010 --> 00:38:21,829 forest the forest was devastated because 918 00:38:28,250 --> 00:38:25,020 this particular forest was cleared in 919 00:38:29,900 --> 00:38:28,260 order to create farmland and could be 920 00:38:32,890 --> 00:38:29,910 off the farm the farming method is 921 00:38:34,790 --> 00:38:32,900 basically the kind of farming that is 922 00:38:38,089 --> 00:38:34,800 intimately tied to the use of fossil 923 00:38:39,710 --> 00:38:38,099 fuels as I'll explain because our farms 924 00:38:45,079 --> 00:38:39,720 believe it or not are dependent on 925 00:38:46,579 --> 00:38:45,089 fossil fuels we have certain them and I 926 00:38:48,470 --> 00:38:46,589 mentioned tractors early rocks we have 927 00:38:50,830 --> 00:38:48,480 tractors rather than horses now to pull 928 00:38:53,599 --> 00:38:50,840 plows and things like that 929 00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:53,609 not only that oil actually is used for 930 00:39:01,010 --> 00:38:55,410 industrial chemicals and things like 931 00:39:02,660 --> 00:39:01,020 that agricultural chemicals as well and 932 00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:02,670 this is some you'll hear well this tube 933 00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:04,410 here this is another buzz word you'll 934 00:39:08,810 --> 00:39:07,050 hear a lot a lot unsustainable that's 935 00:39:10,540 --> 00:39:08,820 another you'll hear that very often 936 00:39:16,090 --> 00:39:10,550 under sustained this is unsustainable 937 00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:16,100 situation and it depletes resources this 938 00:39:21,890 --> 00:39:18,570 it depletes other kinds of resources the 939 00:39:23,630 --> 00:39:21,900 use of fossil fuels now the idea that 940 00:39:24,950 --> 00:39:23,640 oil might not be a fossil fuel I should 941 00:39:27,470 --> 00:39:24,960 touch on there's a guy called Ian our 942 00:39:30,740 --> 00:39:27,480 crane is very very interesting he talks 943 00:39:32,630 --> 00:39:30,750 about this the possibility the oil might 944 00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:32,640 actually be not be a fossil fuel and it 945 00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:34,410 actually replenishes itself it regrows 946 00:39:39,580 --> 00:39:37,170 is it it's something that actually it 947 00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:39,590 grows almost Mike's like a plant and 948 00:39:43,940 --> 00:39:42,090 basically in Russia it's kind of open 949 00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:43,950 secret because it's in Russia that they 950 00:39:49,220 --> 00:39:45,930 leave the oil bottle over 20 years and 951 00:39:50,720 --> 00:39:49,230 they come back or partly they come back 952 00:39:53,260 --> 00:39:50,730 later and then your new oil is replenish 953 00:39:56,510 --> 00:39:53,270 their precious back because if that ever 954 00:39:58,340 --> 00:39:56,520 became known the price i mean the price 955 00:40:01,730 --> 00:39:58,350 of the price would go through the floor 956 00:40:03,650 --> 00:40:01,740 the price of oil would plummet from the 957 00:40:05,030 --> 00:40:03,660 interestingly the current oil price is 958 00:40:07,370 --> 00:40:05,040 very low with minus the lowest it's been 959 00:40:08,900 --> 00:40:07,380 four years and i think it's to do with 960 00:40:11,030 --> 00:40:08,910 it attempt to sabotage the Russian 961 00:40:12,620 --> 00:40:11,040 economy of all countries let's aren't in 962 00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:12,630 Russia for some reason that's a big 963 00:40:18,109 --> 00:40:15,690 subject I can't cover that in detail but 964 00:40:21,109 --> 00:40:18,119 that's basically when they do it and the 965 00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:21,119 control as i said the there is a 966 00:40:25,550 --> 00:40:22,890 suppression of information like this and 967 00:40:27,980 --> 00:40:25,560 it leads it comes from the fact that the 968 00:40:31,310 --> 00:40:27,990 flow of energy and the distribution of 969 00:40:33,380 --> 00:40:31,320 energy is a vital tool for political 970 00:40:38,690 --> 00:40:33,390 reasons which I'll describe the next 971 00:40:40,490 --> 00:40:38,700 slide please this here is a oil rig 972 00:40:43,490 --> 00:40:40,500 burning in the Gulf of Mexico this is 973 00:40:47,030 --> 00:40:43,500 the deepwater horizon oil rig was caught 974 00:40:48,620 --> 00:40:47,040 fire in 2010 and that's created one of 975 00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:48,630 the worst environmental disasters in 976 00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:50,850 history in the Gulf of Mexico it 977 00:40:54,650 --> 00:40:52,170 destroyed a five-hundred-year-old 978 00:40:56,570 --> 00:40:54,660 sustainable fishing industry and has 979 00:40:58,370 --> 00:40:56,580 poisoned is destroyed the tourist 980 00:40:59,920 --> 00:40:58,380 industry it's and it's caused 981 00:41:02,230 --> 00:40:59,930 devastation to the local while 982 00:41:07,540 --> 00:41:02,240 I never eat fish that comes from the 983 00:41:08,950 --> 00:41:07,550 Gulf of Mexico now it's ian are cranes 984 00:41:10,450 --> 00:41:08,960 talked a lot about this particular issue 985 00:41:11,590 --> 00:41:10,460 as well this subjects what he believes 986 00:41:16,450 --> 00:41:11,600 this was done deliberately that's 987 00:41:18,700 --> 00:41:16,460 perfectly possible but some why was this 988 00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:18,710 by accident or design this deepwater 989 00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:20,890 horizon oil rig caught fire and exploded 990 00:41:25,210 --> 00:41:23,570 this is a very different this was all 991 00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:25,220 rhythm this is an oil rig of a very 992 00:41:27,730 --> 00:41:26,570 different type to the one I showed you 993 00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:27,740 earlier which is the one in the North 994 00:41:33,850 --> 00:41:30,290 Sea because this one is much deeper 995 00:41:35,740 --> 00:41:33,860 water drills down into the water there's 996 00:41:37,060 --> 00:41:35,750 many several thousand feet deep rather 997 00:41:39,820 --> 00:41:37,070 than the one in the North Sea which is 998 00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:39,830 several hundred feet deep so what's 999 00:41:45,550 --> 00:41:42,770 happening is the depletion of various 1000 00:41:47,830 --> 00:41:45,560 easy to get oil in shallow waters on 1001 00:41:49,750 --> 00:41:47,840 land it it's causing the oil industry to 1002 00:41:51,670 --> 00:41:49,760 need to move further out as Heinberg 1003 00:41:54,430 --> 00:41:51,680 explains this is a homo doesn't mention 1004 00:41:55,540 --> 00:41:54,440 this particular this actually his book 1005 00:41:58,470 --> 00:41:55,550 was written before this happened but 1006 00:42:01,860 --> 00:41:58,480 this is the kind of thing he talks about 1007 00:42:05,170 --> 00:42:01,870 something that next slide please 1008 00:42:07,330 --> 00:42:05,180 fracking now this is very very topical 1009 00:42:09,100 --> 00:42:07,340 indeed and this is a speciality V in our 1010 00:42:12,340 --> 00:42:09,110 crane as well he said anti-fracking 1011 00:42:14,140 --> 00:42:12,350 campaigner didcot power station in 1012 00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:14,150 oxfordshire which is close to where I 1013 00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:17,090 live is one of the biggest power 1014 00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:20,330 stations on the national grid the 1015 00:42:24,250 --> 00:42:21,890 National Grid of course is basically 1016 00:42:27,100 --> 00:42:24,260 it's a it's a network of electric wires 1017 00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:27,110 and cables and pylons that includes all 1018 00:42:31,060 --> 00:42:29,090 the wires leading up to sprinters the 1019 00:42:33,070 --> 00:42:31,070 light they're all these folk sockets and 1020 00:42:35,170 --> 00:42:33,080 it covers the entire country and the 1021 00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:35,180 power stations are at all points along 1022 00:42:40,030 --> 00:42:37,130 the grid charge the National Grid at 1023 00:42:41,830 --> 00:42:40,040 various places now the national grid is 1024 00:42:43,930 --> 00:42:41,840 some is wasteful because a lot of the 1025 00:42:46,140 --> 00:42:43,940 because the energy is generated so far 1026 00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:46,150 from where it's worked where the work is 1027 00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:48,410 you lose a lot from resistance these 1028 00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:50,090 copies the wires are copper because 1029 00:42:53,260 --> 00:42:51,890 that's a low resistance metal but a lot 1030 00:42:56,860 --> 00:42:53,270 of the power is lost to resistance 1031 00:42:58,570 --> 00:42:56,870 because the size of the circuit if one 1032 00:43:00,190 --> 00:42:58,580 power station fails it means that the 1033 00:43:02,350 --> 00:43:00,200 rest of the National Grid can compensate 1034 00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:02,360 you can keep charging but obviously more 1035 00:43:07,330 --> 00:43:04,130 power stations fail then national grid 1036 00:43:10,720 --> 00:43:07,340 goes down but some coming back to 1037 00:43:12,850 --> 00:43:10,730 fracking my this local power station is 1038 00:43:13,100 --> 00:43:12,860 to this didcot a indeed copy and one of 1039 00:43:16,430 --> 00:43:13,110 them 1040 00:43:19,430 --> 00:43:16,440 DK I think has recently completely 1041 00:43:21,710 --> 00:43:19,440 switched from coal to gas it's right 1042 00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:21,720 it's a natural gas-fired power station 1043 00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:23,370 and the reason stunna has got a lot to 1044 00:43:27,650 --> 00:43:25,050 do with fracking this process of 1045 00:43:31,190 --> 00:43:27,660 extracting natural gas from places where 1046 00:43:33,380 --> 00:43:31,200 it was not able to before the it's done 1047 00:43:35,150 --> 00:43:33,390 by drilling a hole down an oil with it 1048 00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:35,160 down to the where there's a coal bed 1049 00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:37,770 methane or shale this there's an 1050 00:43:41,930 --> 00:43:39,690 explosion set off to crack the pipe and 1051 00:43:43,850 --> 00:43:41,940 then high pressure water mixed with sand 1052 00:43:45,350 --> 00:43:43,860 and various chemicals which they won't 1053 00:43:47,810 --> 00:43:45,360 tell us what's in the chemicals I'll 1054 00:43:49,670 --> 00:43:47,820 push down a very high pressure which 1055 00:43:53,180 --> 00:43:49,680 Brett splits the rocks at prom part and 1056 00:43:55,310 --> 00:43:53,190 lets the gas bubbles out now that's very 1057 00:43:57,170 --> 00:43:55,320 very hazardous because some of the gas 1058 00:43:58,190 --> 00:43:57,180 leaks out into the environment and the 1059 00:44:01,310 --> 00:43:58,200 industry will tell you it doesn't 1060 00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:01,320 because these they drill down 12,000 1061 00:44:04,730 --> 00:44:03,330 feet they say it's that deep it won't 1062 00:44:07,190 --> 00:44:04,740 make its way up to the surface but it 1063 00:44:09,710 --> 00:44:07,200 does it's been detected in drinking 1064 00:44:11,870 --> 00:44:09,720 water in the air everywhere and it leaks 1065 00:44:13,340 --> 00:44:11,880 out the well higher up as well and the 1066 00:44:16,810 --> 00:44:13,350 chemicals get up no one knows what's in 1067 00:44:19,070 --> 00:44:16,820 these chemicals that they rise as well 1068 00:44:21,380 --> 00:44:19,080 and it's all to do with extracting 1069 00:44:22,310 --> 00:44:21,390 natural gas down there and the governor 1070 00:44:24,260 --> 00:44:22,320 that they're doing they're so determined 1071 00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:24,270 to do this they've lied about them even 1072 00:44:27,470 --> 00:44:25,770 the amount of gas that's in their wells 1073 00:44:31,130 --> 00:44:27,480 because there's only a fraction of the 1074 00:44:32,570 --> 00:44:31,140 gas as they say is there anyway so why 1075 00:44:34,550 --> 00:44:32,580 they've done that with Ian talks about 1076 00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:34,560 that in detail in his leg check but 1077 00:44:44,090 --> 00:44:41,130 basically it's a big bubble and then the 1078 00:44:46,370 --> 00:44:44,100 next slide please this is another form 1079 00:44:49,790 --> 00:44:46,380 of energy and unconventional oil sauce 1080 00:44:52,490 --> 00:44:49,800 this is tar sands in this particular tar 1081 00:44:53,450 --> 00:44:52,500 sands pit is in Canada and it sounds 1082 00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:53,460 like what it says it is it's basically 1083 00:44:58,340 --> 00:44:56,130 sound mixed with tar which you can 1084 00:45:01,130 --> 00:44:58,350 extracted hydrocarbons to burn it and 1085 00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:01,140 it's an unconventional oil sauce you can 1086 00:45:05,530 --> 00:45:02,970 actually make musical oil out of this 1087 00:45:08,720 --> 00:45:05,540 the only problem is that this is a huge 1088 00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:08,730 dirty dangerous place but these little 1089 00:45:12,770 --> 00:45:10,290 strips here they're not part which 1090 00:45:15,500 --> 00:45:12,780 people walk along their big roads where 1091 00:45:17,300 --> 00:45:15,510 massive dumper trucks drive along this 1092 00:45:19,610 --> 00:45:17,310 is several miles across this tar sand 1093 00:45:21,940 --> 00:45:19,620 pit and when birds land on it they get 1094 00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:21,950 oil on their feathers and they die um 1095 00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:24,930 it's it's a nice so it must be no sore 1096 00:45:28,330 --> 00:45:25,490 as well 1097 00:45:30,670 --> 00:45:28,340 people tell me it smells really bad but 1098 00:45:32,109 --> 00:45:30,680 that's another example of how the oil 1099 00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:32,119 industry and the energy the need for 1100 00:45:37,450 --> 00:45:33,850 energy is pushing people into 1101 00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:37,460 destructive and really really unwise 1102 00:45:42,010 --> 00:45:38,930 which would otherwise be very very 1103 00:45:45,820 --> 00:45:42,020 unwise and means of obtaining oil and 1104 00:45:49,180 --> 00:45:45,830 I'm next slide please of course always 1105 00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:49,190 has to be paid for it is expensive it 1106 00:45:54,450 --> 00:45:51,290 costs money to drill for oil to mine 1107 00:45:56,620 --> 00:45:54,460 coal to transport them to refine them 1108 00:46:02,020 --> 00:45:56,630 it's a complex process that needs 1109 00:46:03,580 --> 00:46:02,030 millions of man-hours um and so that's 1110 00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:03,590 why you have energy bills and energy 1111 00:46:06,580 --> 00:46:05,090 bills are now so high that a lot of 1112 00:46:09,010 --> 00:46:06,590 people are having real trouble paying 1113 00:46:11,890 --> 00:46:09,020 people I know having trouble paying them 1114 00:46:13,780 --> 00:46:11,900 and I mean is there anyone this room 1115 00:46:17,550 --> 00:46:13,790 hasn't noticed their energy bill rising 1116 00:46:20,410 --> 00:46:17,560 over the last 20 years or so no no one 1117 00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:20,420 it's honestly they they've got a singly 1118 00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:23,930 going up all over the place and a lot of 1119 00:46:28,750 --> 00:46:26,650 people can't afford it up there's people 1120 00:46:30,910 --> 00:46:28,760 there's people in some countries where 1121 00:46:33,250 --> 00:46:30,920 very few people can afford this energy 1122 00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:33,260 and they fall into poverty we call those 1123 00:46:37,240 --> 00:46:34,850 countries of countries the third-world 1124 00:46:43,450 --> 00:46:37,250 or developing nations as the euphemism 1125 00:46:45,700 --> 00:46:43,460 goes next slide place is a picture than 1126 00:46:48,250 --> 00:46:45,710 this is part of the National Grid these 1127 00:46:50,170 --> 00:46:48,260 big metal giants which string across 1128 00:46:52,630 --> 00:46:50,180 which lie across the countryside 1129 00:46:58,390 --> 00:46:52,640 dragging these wires behind them ruining 1130 00:47:00,340 --> 00:46:58,400 the view they are they've lived this 1131 00:47:02,980 --> 00:47:00,350 thousands and thousands of miles of 1132 00:47:04,750 --> 00:47:02,990 these across the country taking this 1133 00:47:09,900 --> 00:47:04,760 energy from on the national grid to 1134 00:47:19,810 --> 00:47:13,180 and with all the other disadvantage that 1135 00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:19,820 I talked about um so yeah this is all 1136 00:47:23,170 --> 00:47:21,770 there's other health they're said to be 1137 00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:23,180 health conditions associated with you 1138 00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:24,770 there's been several accidents involved 1139 00:47:28,060 --> 00:47:26,210 with these things when kids some kids 1140 00:47:31,540 --> 00:47:28,070 try to climb them I try to do as well as 1141 00:47:33,870 --> 00:47:31,550 little kids silly of me some some people 1142 00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:33,880 climb and they get electrocuted 1143 00:47:39,670 --> 00:47:38,210 sometimes there's also several reports 1144 00:47:40,900 --> 00:47:39,680 that state that people who live close to 1145 00:47:43,510 --> 00:47:40,910 these are more likely to get certain 1146 00:47:44,770 --> 00:47:43,520 kinds of cancer if you if you're I think 1147 00:47:47,230 --> 00:47:44,780 one thing is going over your house for 1148 00:47:54,450 --> 00:47:47,240 example it's something to be concerned 1149 00:47:57,520 --> 00:47:54,460 about so next slide please now this is 1150 00:47:58,900 --> 00:47:57,530 this graph illustrates well this next to 1151 00:48:01,360 --> 00:47:58,910 this series goes illustrates the kind of 1152 00:48:03,340 --> 00:48:01,370 thing Heinberg talks about this is the 1153 00:48:05,500 --> 00:48:03,350 one I drew myself it's very very simple 1154 00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:05,510 on the up on the vertical axis there's 1155 00:48:11,710 --> 00:48:08,330 quantity of the horizontal axis is time 1156 00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:11,720 there is no there's no figures on these 1157 00:48:15,340 --> 00:48:14,090 it's all qualitative it's all just 1158 00:48:17,710 --> 00:48:15,350 general is not there's no particular 1159 00:48:21,210 --> 00:48:17,720 figures except as you can see on the 1160 00:48:23,140 --> 00:48:21,220 time axis I put past present and future 1161 00:48:24,700 --> 00:48:23,150 and that's that's all you need to know 1162 00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:24,710 this is not about exact measurement this 1163 00:48:29,980 --> 00:48:26,690 is simply illustration so it's all 1164 00:48:32,530 --> 00:48:29,990 qualitative and in exact but basically 1165 00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:32,540 from as i said earlier for most of our 1166 00:48:36,730 --> 00:48:35,210 history there were very few people in 1167 00:48:40,390 --> 00:48:36,740 the world compared to what we have now 1168 00:48:42,190 --> 00:48:40,400 there were lesson it's interesting they 1169 00:48:43,570 --> 00:48:42,200 were less than a billion people for most 1170 00:48:44,620 --> 00:48:43,580 of the time we around at one point 1171 00:48:46,540 --> 00:48:44,630 someone said they would like about a 1172 00:48:51,850 --> 00:48:46,550 million people in the world we went for 1173 00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:51,860 a real bottleneck at some point um we 1174 00:48:56,740 --> 00:48:53,450 only reached a billion people actually 1175 00:48:59,620 --> 00:48:56,750 in the Year 1800 at the start of the 1176 00:49:02,080 --> 00:48:59,630 Industrial Revolution but so for many 1177 00:49:03,670 --> 00:49:02,090 many from most violent we were just this 1178 00:49:07,420 --> 00:49:03,680 little line at the bottom this small 1179 00:49:10,270 --> 00:49:07,430 group of animals with small species have 1180 00:49:11,710 --> 00:49:10,280 come cluster and of course our energy 1181 00:49:13,270 --> 00:49:11,720 production was very low as well because 1182 00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:13,280 we had like I say this red line 1183 00:49:17,380 --> 00:49:15,170 illustrate the amount of energy energy 1184 00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:17,390 capability energy availability energy 1185 00:49:22,130 --> 00:49:19,970 and resources available for energy 1186 00:49:24,020 --> 00:49:22,140 and that of course was also very low 1187 00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:24,030 because as I've explained we had muscle 1188 00:49:29,990 --> 00:49:26,850 power only we had beasts of burden we 1189 00:49:31,850 --> 00:49:30,000 had various domesticated animals and we 1190 00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:31,860 could light fires wood fires and things 1191 00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:33,930 like that so there was no industry this 1192 00:49:42,380 --> 00:49:38,970 is before industry next slide please and 1193 00:49:45,110 --> 00:49:42,390 then suddenly the amount of energy 1194 00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:45,120 available to us shot up and as you see 1195 00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:46,770 just before the present day I put on 1196 00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:48,330 here illustrating the start of the 1197 00:49:53,690 --> 00:49:51,330 Industrial Revolution our energy supply 1198 00:49:56,510 --> 00:49:53,700 increased a thousandfold with the 1199 00:50:00,860 --> 00:49:56,520 industrialized mass infrastructure 1200 00:50:04,100 --> 00:50:00,870 fossil fuel use next slide please and as 1201 00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:04,110 a result our population shot up the as I 1202 00:50:08,060 --> 00:50:06,090 said by 1800 there about a billion 1203 00:50:10,010 --> 00:50:08,070 people in the world that's less than a 1204 00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:10,020 population of India today and we now 1205 00:50:15,290 --> 00:50:13,050 have seven a half billion so we we it's 1206 00:50:16,430 --> 00:50:15,300 increased enormously the start of the 1207 00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:16,440 Industrial Revolution led to a 1208 00:50:21,890 --> 00:50:18,450 population explosion with increased 1209 00:50:23,240 --> 00:50:21,900 energy basically took all of human 1210 00:50:26,420 --> 00:50:23,250 history for us to reach a billion people 1211 00:50:28,970 --> 00:50:26,430 by 1800 but by 1900 we hit two billion 1212 00:50:30,710 --> 00:50:28,980 so and we added we doubled in size 1213 00:50:33,370 --> 00:50:30,720 within a century because of the 1214 00:50:35,810 --> 00:50:33,380 Industrial Revolution next slide please 1215 00:50:38,030 --> 00:50:35,820 we're back in prehistory ball button in 1216 00:50:39,650 --> 00:50:38,040 the pre-industrial age now as you can 1217 00:50:42,140 --> 00:50:39,660 see the green line there represents 1218 00:50:44,870 --> 00:50:42,150 resources resources are what sometimes 1219 00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:44,880 known as the natural capital or the de 1220 00:50:50,060 --> 00:50:46,770 Bayeux economic capital planet Earth 1221 00:50:54,410 --> 00:50:50,070 this includes includes oil and fossil 1222 00:50:58,430 --> 00:50:54,420 fuels but also soil nutrients food water 1223 00:51:01,580 --> 00:50:58,440 air everything everything that we need 1224 00:51:04,100 --> 00:51:01,590 is reor everything the planet the 1225 00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:04,110 planets life life on earth needs which 1226 00:51:09,170 --> 00:51:06,090 is the same thing in terms of those 1227 00:51:10,790 --> 00:51:09,180 resources next slide please with the 1228 00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:10,800 Industrial Revolution with increase in 1229 00:51:14,330 --> 00:51:12,810 production increasing energy 1230 00:51:16,370 --> 00:51:14,340 availability and use decrease in 1231 00:51:18,010 --> 00:51:16,380 population the resources started to go 1232 00:51:21,710 --> 00:51:18,020 down started to eat into the natural 1233 00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:21,720 capital of the world as Heinberg puts it 1234 00:51:26,140 --> 00:51:23,370 he says we treat the natural capital as 1235 00:51:28,700 --> 00:51:26,150 an income and we just spend spend spend 1236 00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:28,710 and well and like the yeast eventually 1237 00:51:33,650 --> 00:51:29,490 going to run out 1238 00:51:35,180 --> 00:51:33,660 next slide please now we're back in 1239 00:51:38,180 --> 00:51:35,190 prehistory again you can see here there 1240 00:51:39,530 --> 00:51:38,190 was a gray line at the bottom I'm not 1241 00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:39,540 keeping tally I've been talking for 1242 00:51:48,260 --> 00:51:42,930 anyone keeping time I won't be good for 1243 00:51:50,090 --> 00:51:48,270 50 50 miles let me just do this bit and 1244 00:51:51,710 --> 00:51:50,100 we'll have a little break and the bottom 1245 00:51:54,220 --> 00:51:51,720 they see that gray line represents 1246 00:51:57,170 --> 00:51:54,230 environmental destruction that means 1247 00:51:59,510 --> 00:51:57,180 habitat loss the poisoning of the air 1248 00:52:02,930 --> 00:51:59,520 the poisoning of the oceans rubbish tips 1249 00:52:05,660 --> 00:52:02,940 replacing green forests things like that 1250 00:52:07,670 --> 00:52:05,670 even all kinds of all kinds of things 1251 00:52:08,690 --> 00:52:07,680 every time like a motorways built it 1252 00:52:10,430 --> 00:52:08,700 goes to a forest that adds to 1253 00:52:13,250 --> 00:52:10,440 environmental destruction as you can see 1254 00:52:16,820 --> 00:52:13,260 it's very very low here until maybe 1255 00:52:18,770 --> 00:52:16,830 someone might lighter a open fire 1256 00:52:20,720 --> 00:52:18,780 underneath the tree and the tree might 1257 00:52:22,250 --> 00:52:20,730 get to leave singed something like that 1258 00:52:23,990 --> 00:52:22,260 there's a limit of environmental 1259 00:52:29,630 --> 00:52:24,000 destruction in those days next slide 1260 00:52:32,870 --> 00:52:29,640 please and of course as you probably 1261 00:52:35,359 --> 00:52:32,880 know i can predict by now with the rise 1262 00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:35,369 in population the rising energy the 1263 00:52:40,010 --> 00:52:37,970 right or the depletion of resources 1264 00:52:41,420 --> 00:52:40,020 environment instruction started to rise 1265 00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:41,430 and you know all about actually hear 1266 00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:45,770 about it all the time next slide please 1267 00:52:50,300 --> 00:52:47,970 so now in the present day we've reached 1268 00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:50,310 a point really where what which heinberg 1269 00:52:57,470 --> 00:52:55,010 considers to be the perfect storm 1270 00:52:58,760 --> 00:52:57,480 increasing population increasing in an 1271 00:53:00,710 --> 00:52:58,770 energy increasing demand for energy 1272 00:53:04,220 --> 00:53:00,720 increasing environmental instruction and 1273 00:53:06,170 --> 00:53:04,230 the sapling of resources the point where 1274 00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:06,180 they're almost gone with continuing to 1275 00:53:11,599 --> 00:53:08,850 increase we it's like he needed he said 1276 00:53:13,580 --> 00:53:11,609 oh I despair because we're acting as if 1277 00:53:17,990 --> 00:53:13,590 the resources are infinite when they're 1278 00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:18,000 not next slide please and here course we 1279 00:53:25,010 --> 00:53:22,530 have here the power stations the cold 1280 00:53:27,140 --> 00:53:25,020 the energy that's being generated and 1281 00:53:30,349 --> 00:53:27,150 everything that goes with it which is 1282 00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:30,359 all part of this is this is almost the 1283 00:53:35,630 --> 00:53:31,770 center of this entire look at the core 1284 00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:35,640 of this entire system next slide please 1285 00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:38,290 now one of the alternatives that's the 1286 00:53:43,500 --> 00:53:41,050 question maybe I'll tell you what I'll 1287 00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:43,510 take a little break and then we'll talk 1288 00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:44,890 about alternatives to what we've seen 1289 00:53:48,770 --> 00:53:47,170 just now all right now you can if you're 1290 00:53:51,300 --> 00:53:48,780 feeling a bit down don't worry because 1291 00:53:52,980 --> 00:53:51,310 I'm going this does have a happy ending 1292 00:53:54,510 --> 00:53:52,990 all right I'm not that I'm gonna chit 1293 00:53:57,690 --> 00:53:54,520 there's some cheerful news coming up 1294 00:54:02,600 --> 00:53:57,700 okay but to go get yourself a beer or 1295 00:54:07,590 --> 00:54:05,250 year 15 very much I've got some books 1296 00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:07,600 for sale here and these are just five 1297 00:54:12,090 --> 00:54:09,130 pounds each these books despite their 1298 00:54:16,500 --> 00:54:12,100 size this is a book i published it by me 1299 00:54:18,690 --> 00:54:16,510 and i wrote it and post it in 2002 it's 1300 00:54:19,830 --> 00:54:18,700 called Evan's land and it's not about 1301 00:54:21,060 --> 00:54:19,840 the subjects i'm talking about now but 1302 00:54:22,470 --> 00:54:21,070 it's about whales I thought you might 1303 00:54:24,210 --> 00:54:22,480 like it because it's kind of a it's kind 1304 00:54:26,730 --> 00:54:24,220 of a science fiction story set in Wales 1305 00:54:28,290 --> 00:54:26,740 so if you want one of those let me know 1306 00:54:30,060 --> 00:54:28,300 and take one of these and they're just 1307 00:54:31,410 --> 00:54:30,070 five pounds each they won't run 1308 00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:31,420 remainder prices now because that books
