8 yrs on, this is still the most relevant interview on energy today.
@paulmccormick2442
2023, listening to this classic, precient, geopolitical, historically relevant, in a emperor's new cloths, basic fundamental, common sense analysis. So articulate. A must listen...

Well, after studying Peak Oil for around 20 years, it is a pleasure to see every perspective taken in consideration all in one video. Nicole Foss is a genius who has thought about everything and every aspect and situation of Peak Oil. Well done.

A incredible talk on energy, renewables and our economy. This 2007 talk predicts everything that has unfolded in the last few years.

Nicole, that was incredible. I've followed the work of Heinberg, Tverberg, Greer, McKibben, Orlov, Quilley, Martenson and many more for five years now, but that two hours was the clearest, most concise and informed explanation of energy, finance and resiliency that I've seen. You had a number of great points. I encourage you to get out to universities and spread this message as far as possible. It's badly needed.

Good God in Heaven! This woman is a genius! She is intelligent, educated, AWARE, data oriented, analytical, critical with a sense of balance, logical, scientific, yet well grounded, clear communicator, intelligent communicator, clearly able to paint a detailed picture of how the system is imploding from the inside and why! All the while maintaining her calm and oh my god. I love her! Pure genius! We need everyone to listen to this documentary! Phenomenal job HappenFilms I support you 100%

Wow I am listening to this in June 2020. After corona ... it’s like hearing her... “I told you so...”
@flyorraofficial
this woman is a genius, i watched the whole thing
@AndreaBarbieri
One of the smartest person i've ever had the pleasure to hear!
@ramdusk6648
Dear Nicole, you are one of our heroes and a comfort for our mental loneliness (that there are still people of true logic in this world), we enjoy and agree with any word that comes out of your mouth. After following you for years we really think that you will appreciate this article that we are sending to all the PhD’s and their students in the areas of human evolution and behavior in many universities all over the world.
@sarahrose0622
I've listened to this interview over a dozen times. Listening again. Interesting times indeed!
@ianfielding9533
A must watch, one of the most incredible insights into our future, the economy and resilience planning for the looming energy crisis.
@ApeTreks
Watching in 2020 - deadly accurate
@maozedung7270
You clearly speak out what came little by little in my mind. You are a genius! Since some years I try to produce my own food in Austria in not so bad conditions. But it is hard and until now, without big nut trees I was not able to get more than 50% of my needs, just for food. To rise a sustainable permaculture I would need more land and to grow trees enough productive it takes about 20 years and more. Many people have no idea what could come soon.
@travishall5943
What an exceptional interview. Nicole Foss can speak incredibly clearly and eloquently about these topics. To be that "fly on the wall" @ 41:08 :)

Here is an index of the questions! 00:00:00 – Introduction 00:00:41 – What is the relationship between energy and economics? 00:08:05 – What is peak oil and why is it important? 00:15:57 – How do you respond to those who say that, due to the shale boom in the US, ‘peak oil is dead’? 00:30:27 – Can you describe the essence of the global financial system and explain why it’s so fragile? 00:38:37 – Could you please explain your understanding of the global financial crisis and what role expensive oil played in this? 00:46:43 – You have argued that the instability of the financial system is of greater and more immediate concern than climate change and peak oil. Please elaborate. 01:00:10 – What is your take on whether renewables or nuclear energy will be able to save us from peaking energy resources? 01:06:18 – You’ve said that the system cannot be reformed. Why can’t strong financial regulation, environmental regulation, redistributing through taxation help? 01:17:34 – You’ve said that the future belongs to the adaptable. What is resilience and how do we become more resilient? 01:31:30 – Would it be fair to summarise that strategic advice by saying that the main thing we need to do is try to prefigure a low energy, low consumption, simpler way of living? 01:41:35 – You’ve said that building community is one of the most important things we can do. Why do you think this is? 01:47:53 – When thinking about the world, I constantly find myself battling to find a space between naive optimism and despair. Can the crises underway and on their way be turned into opportunities?
