Olduvai Theory: Sliding Towards a Post-Industrial Stone Age »

azspot:

  1. On the average, world per capita energy-use reached a maximum value (i.e., a peak) in 1977.
  2. The 1977-1995 rate of decline has averaged 0.90% per year.
  3. Per capita energy-use will continue to decline as long as the world population growth rate exceeds the energy growth rate.
  4. If the decline continues (and extinction is avoided), human societies will bottom out at the subsistence level of energy-use.
