April 22, 2012

April 18, 2012
On average I receive one to two invitations per week to attend and make presentations at events in Sweden and elsewhere in the world. I usually politely decline most invitations but yesterday I did not hesitate for an instant to say yes. The World Bank had invited me to speak at the aviation industry’s largest […]

April 4, 2012
(Just in Swedish) Idag har jag fått lite skatteåterbäring, för 300 kronor har jag gjort en starroperation på vänster öga. Kom till Akademiska sjukhuset i Uppsala kl 10:00, skrivs in och betalade mina 300 kronor. Några minuters väntan innan jag blev inkallad till operationsavdelningen. Några droppar som vidgade pupillen. Patienten innan mig blev inkallad till […]
The debate on Peak Oil can continue / Debatten om Peak Oil kan fortsätta
April 4, 2012
The past week has been very Peak Oil intensive. This included preparations for my 20 minute presentation at Rosenbad – which was all the time I was allowed. I have now watched the recording of the presentation and, as usual, I was a little too keen to get my message across. (You can view the […]

April 3, 2012
A common argument against Peak Oil is that it is not a concern because there is so much shale gas that can be produced. In the EU a bubble of expectations has been inflated around future production of shale gas in Poland. Now that bubble has burst. In an article from Reuters we can read […]
