Out of Gas: The end of the age of oil

David Goodstein
Frank J. Gilloon Distinguished Professor and Vice Provost
California Institute of Technology

When: Thursday, January 19, 2006
Time: 2:30 PM to 4:30 PM
Where: McMurtry Auditorium, Duncan Hall

Abstract:

The world will soon start to run out of cheap, easily produced oil. If we turn to the other fossil fuels to replace the missing oil, we might do incalculable damage to the climate of our planet, and we are likely to start running out of all fossil fuels, coal included, by the end of this century. We will take a careful look at this situation and all of its ramifications
