 3. 10 Most Important Articles About Efficient Energy Use From
    EnergyBulletin.net


10 MOST IMPORTANT ARTICLES FROM ENERGYBULLETIN.NET

EnergyBulletin.net was a website “designed to be a clearinghouse for current
information regarding the peak in global energy supply.”

The site published research relating to the prevailing situation and trajectory
in the energy space. It also carried articles on innovation and suggestions for
averting the energy crisis triggered by fossil fuels.

If you try to access EnergyBulletin.net today, you will find that the site is no
longer online.

In this article, we try to find out what happened to EnergyBulletin.net by
following its history and how it changed hands over the years. We identify ten
of the most important articles about efficient energy use published on the
website.

THE HISTORY OF ENERGYBULLETIN.NET

EnergyBulletin.net appeared on the internet for the first time in 2004. It’s not
clear who started the website. However, an archived Energy Bulletin page
indicates that the site was “edited and maintained by a small number of
individuals unaffiliated with any private, government, or institutional body.”

The online publication also said that it did not receive any reward or
compensation of any kind. Therefore, the site was never forced by any
commercial, private, or public interests to drive a particular stance.

Instead, it promised visitors that its only motivation was the desire to share
up-to-date useful information about peak oil and related stories. It aimed to
ensure that the world was ready to navigate what could be a challenging period
ahead.

HOW IT WORKED

The content on EnergyBulletin.net was provided by contributors from various
fields with expertise related to the peak in global energy supply.

The website defined peak oil as “the simplest label for the problem of energy
resource depletion, or more specifically, the peak in global oil production.”

EnergyBulletin.net adds that the idea of ‘peak’ denotes a situation where more
than half of the global oil reserves have been extracted, leading to the
extraction of the second half being more challenging and expensive.

Post Carbon Institute Adopts Energy Bulletin

On January 14, 2008, the Post Carbon Institute announced that it was adopting
the Energy Bulletin.

The 2003-founded Post Carbon Institute is an organization that describes its
mission as leading “the transition to a more resilient, sustainable, and
equitable world.” It achieves this by helping the world transition to
sustainable and efficient energy use.

The executive director of the Post Carbon Institute, Asher Miller, indicated
that his organization was adopting Energy Bulletin when the website’s work was
becoming even more important. Therefore, his organization’s support would ensure
that the site continued to thrive, buttressed by the institute’s Global Public
Media content and other multimedia.

THE END OF ENERGYBULLETIN.NET

About five years after being adopted by the Post Carbon Institute,
EnegyBulletin.net began redirecting to Resilience.org. Resilience.org works as
part of the Post Carbon Institute and publishes news, research, and analysis
related to society, food and water, environment, economy, and energy.

The redirect stopped working about five years later, marking the end of a
14-year run for EnergyBulletin.net.

THE MOST IMPORTANT EFFICIENT ENERGY USE ARTICLES

EnergyBulletin.net may no longer be online, but we took some time to revisit
some of the most influential articles it published.

We identify these articles based on the amount of attention they attracted from
the general public and other publications.

1.The Real Green Revolution

Published in 2006 and written by Adam Fenderson, the article entitled “ The Real
Green Revolution” advances the argument that even though many people see ethanol
and other biofuels as a sustainable replacement for fossil fuels, the reality is
that “biofuels based on industrial agriculture are in no sense sustainable.”



Fenderson argues that “Each year, more and more virgin forested land and fossil
fuel energy must be fed into the agricultural system simply to maintain current
levels of production.”

So, what does he believe would be the real green revolution? He suggests that
such a revolution would be characterized by more efficient energy use where the
food production system is re-localized, people grow their own food, and
nutrients are recycled on-site.

This, he is confident, would reduce the amount of water used and the use of
fossil fuels in food production while ensuring that we get nutritious food and
an opportunity to exercise.

2.Moving Towards Ethical Energy

In his article focusing on what our future energy sources may look like, Ian
Westmoreland starts by acknowledging a reality that none of us can run away
from. He writes, “It’s now undeniable that the fossil fuels that provide so much
of our energy carry a heavy environmental and social burden....”

Westmoreland names some of the problems with non-renewable energy sources,
including that they poison the atmosphere, land, and water. He proposes that the
only alternative we have if we want to turn to more efficient use of ethical
energy is by generating our own at a community level.

3.Can Renewable Energy Sustain Consumer Societies?

The main question Samuel Alexander attempts to answer in his piece is whether
renewable energy sources can practically support consumer societies.

He starts by noting that the discourse around the use of renewable energy should
be accompanied by questions about whether we need a fundamental shift from the
current consumer society we encourage.



Alexander’s message is quite clear, this shift “means that the global consumer
class must learn how to live ‘simpler lives’ of reduced resource and energy
consumption, as well as build new economic systems based on notions of
sufficiency rather than excess.”

Alexander believes we can entirely rely on renewable energy if we can achieve
this.

4.Pump Up the Storage

Tom Murphy’s view is that if we are to successfully use wind and solar to solve
the fossil fuel challenge, our work is cut out when it comes to solving another
challenge: energy storage.

Murphy’s article mainly focuses on pumped storage. He explains that this means,
“The idea for pumped hydro storage is that we can pump a mass of water up into a
reservoir (shelf), and later retrieve this energy at will—barring evaporative
loss.”

In simple terms, it is keeping water under pressure, ready to create the energy
we need. This is more like storing the energy before it is created.

5.It’s Time for Fundamental Changes in the Way We Derive and Use Energy

In this article, Ralph Nader reminds us of a fact we already know: we need to
change the way we do things. However, he argues that we are failing to use this
knowledge as we are still failing to substantially advance towards more
efficient and cleaner energy.

Nader evaluates our progress so far in moving towards cleaner and more efficient
energy.

He concludes, “What we’ve known about the potentials of wind, solar efficiency,
and other non-fossil fuel energy for thirty years is being applied on a schedule
far too slow, given the urgency of global warming and the danger of resource
wars.”

6.How to Downsize a Transport Network: The Chinese Wheelbarrow

Kris De Decker used the history of the Chinese wheelbarrow to show how we can
efficiently use energy by downsizing our transport network.

His article shows how the Chinese wheelbarrow differed from the European model,
with the former allowing users to carry three times the load carried by the
latter.

But what lessons can we learn from the Chinese wheelbarrow about downsizing our
transport networks?

The lesson is that using low-tech transportation may be a choice we need to
consider as we look for ways of using energy more efficiently. This is
particularly the case if you also look at the deteriorating state of roads in
certain parts of the world.

7.Renewable Power Rhythm: the Rhythm of Power Availability in the
Post-Prosperous Way Down World

In his 2012 article, David Tilley attempts to paint a picture of what life could
look like once we reach a time when fossil fuels are finished, and we are almost
entirely running on renewable energy sources.

Tilley proposes that a continuing availability of electricity will characterize
such a period, even though it will “have decadal, annual, monthly, weekly, daily
and hourly rhythms.” He adds, “Large scale storage of electricity is difficult
today and will likely be difficult in the [Post-Prosperous Way Down World].”

Tilley’s article concludes that our need to use energy more efficiently once
fossil fuels are gone will bring a considerable shift to how we work, play, and
travel. Central to our decision-making will be factors linked to energy
availability at a specific time.

8.Climate Hell and Saving Energy: a Few Words to the Wise

Larry Menkes’s article devotes a big chunk of space to a sub-section titled “You
can never hear enough about energy efficiency.”

He reports that Americans waste more than half the energy they use, which means
they are paying 50% more for energy than they need to. They could save this
amount if they used energy more efficiently.

Menkes uses his piece to argue that “Saving energy is simple, easy, fast, and
cost-effective.” He adds, “We have everything we need already on the shelf to do
the job.”

9.The Real Reason the Military Is Going Green

When it comes to the numbers relating to the amount of energy the military uses,
the picture is astonishing. This is the focus of an article by Natalie Pompilio.

Pompilio cites retired Brigadier General Steven Anderson, who states why the
military needs to use less energy. Anderson says, “There’s a direct relationship
between energy and the military. The more energy consumed, the less effective
you are militarily because you’re more vulnerable.”

Pompilio lists other reasons the military is going green, including that it
needs to depend less on foreign oil, which places the United States at risk.
Thus, the military is making efforts to develop new and more efficient energy
sources.

According to Pompilio, the military is also going greener because it has noticed
that this is the pragmatic way to handle things. Also, the use of less oil
creates a safer world because there will be fewer soldiers dying while
protecting fuel convoys.

10. US Coal Generation Drops 19 Percent in One Year

Stephen Lacey’s article carries the news that anyone concerned about the
environment will be happy to hear: “Power generation from coal is falling
quickly.”

The 2012 piece reports that the burning of coal in power generation had dropped
by 20% since 2011. This was attributed to low natural gas prices and attempts to
move towards a cleaner energy source.

Lacey notes that even though the drop in use of coal in generating power between
2011 and 2012 was mainly driven by the fall in natural gas prices, the US coal
industry was already facing some headwinds.



Some of the factors afflicting the coal industry identified by Lacey include "An
aging fleet of plants, cost-competitive renewables, new clean air regulations,
and a strong anti-coal movement…."
