UKERC is, as far as I know, the first ‘mainstream’ academic body to examine the peak oil issue. </p> <p>I’m attempting to incorporate energy into models of food production, though rather than directly asking about peak oil, the model will hopefully say something about what could happen, given x or y energy scenario. The aim is to (try to) keep it simple: most approaches to the problem, e.g. at <a href="http://www.theoildrum.com/">the Oil Drum</a> can feel a little like you’re being beaten to death with graphs.</p> <p><a href="https://coveredinbees.org.archived.website/node/263" target="_blank">read more</a></p> https://coveredinbees.org.archived.website/node/263#comments academic 2 stars energy food peak oil Mon, 05 Oct 2009 16:46:15 +0000 dan 263 at https://coveredinbees.org.archived.website
