Public health and the precautionary principle: the case of peak oil
I wish to briefly discuss and integrate:
1. The Precautionary Principle (PP) in public health
2. Peak oil as a multi-faceted public health threat
3. Why public health has not paid appropriate attention to peak oil. (Seminar at The Ohio State University School of Public Health)
Principles for the post-peak oil job market
When I speak before college audiences about peak oil, I often ask if there are any engineers present. I suggest that they concentrate on jobs that will produce rather than consume energy, particularly energy that is renewable and doesn’t create greenhouse gas emissions.
The new gas war
I have in mind the recent war of words between Europe, led by Tony Blair, and Russia about natural gas. Recent news suggest that this new kind of cold war has now expanded to include the Bush administration on the side of Blair and Iran on the side of Russia.
Population, Resources, and Human Idealism
If we want peace, democracy, and human rights, we must work to create the ecological condition essential for these things to exist: i.e., a stable human population at — or slightly less than — the environment’s long-term carrying capacity.

The politics of oil: the discourse must change
The leaders of both political parties are not only headed in the wrong direction with respect to gas prices, but also fundamentally misunderstand the factors behind the current situation at gasoline stations around the US. Governments should be focused on helping us cure our “addiction to oil.” The answer does not lie in lowering gas prices, which will only encourage people to drive more and further waste our valuable resources.
