Oil Supply and Water Supply Books
Endorsed by Sioux Falls Scientists

Sioux Falls Scientists recommends the following books that describe the Oil Supply and the Water Supply.

Oil is a limited resource. The Earth isn't making any more of it, at least not at a rate that will do us any good for millions of years. So what will happen when the oil supply starts to dry up. Gas prices will start climbing and climbing and climbing. And that's a good thing because that will force us to develop alternatives to using oil for energy. The book $20 Per Gallon describes this scenario rather well.

Sioux Falls Scientists also recommends When the Rivers Run Dry. This is a lot scarier book. Let's just image a major city losing it's sanitary water supply for a week. In three days humans die without water. In least than a week there would be riots and anarchy and ten's of thousands would be dead. It would be almost impossible to truck in enough drinking water for millions of people. And when you brought it in people would try to kill you for it. Not something we want to live through, and we might well not live through it. Global Warming could well initiate this really happening in America.

The books are all available from Amazon.com but you are free to obtain them from many other sources. Amazon offers them on their website along with many alternate sources, often less expensive. You are free to choose whatever source you please. The book links on the following pages point to the book location at Amazon.

5-26-17 Uncertain times in the oil industry
Uncertain times in the oil industry
“A great struggle is unfolding in the world oil market,” said Daniel Yergin. Oil producers are attempting to rebalance supply and demand, in order to push oil prices up from recent lows, and they are simultaneously streamlining their businesses to survive during an era of cheap oil. “That tension explains why the price keeps jumping toward $60 a barrel and then falling back near $40.” Oil prices started to collapse in 2014, when global supply began rapidly outstripping demand, largely thanks to the shale oil revolution in the U.S. By late 2016, low prices had caused many companies to either go bankrupt or slash exploration and production. That production decline eventually helped raise prices somewhat, though nowhere near the $100 a barrel highs we saw three years ago. At the same time, the decline in revenues has forced companies across the industry to become more efficient. New shale-oil wells are now profitable at $50 or even $40 a barrel, a price point that would have been unthinkable a few years ago. This efficiency is creating a new surge in U.S. drilling. By next year, “the U.S. is likely to hit the highest level of oil production in its entire history,” which will keep global prices low for years to come. The days of $100 a barrel oil now look like “an aberration that will not recur, absent an international crisis or a major disruption.”

Corpus Christi, Texas, residents warned to avoid tap water
Residents of a Texas city have been warned by officials not to drink or bathe in the tap water because of a chemical contamination. Wednesday's advisory applies to more than 300,000 people in Corpus Christi on the Gulf of Mexico coast. Boiling, freezing, filtering, adding chlorine or other disinfectants, or letting the water stand will not make the water safe, officials say. The contaminants have not yet been named, but are petroleum-based. "Only bottled water should be used for all drinking, beverage and food preparation (including baby formula and juice), making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes or clothes, washing hands, and bathing until further notice," said a press release from the city. On Wednesday night long queues formed at grocery stores of shoppers stocking up on bottled water.

The quest to solve the world's deadly water problem
Like many of his middle-class neighbors in Mumbai, Bhakti Klein gets his water delivered to his home each week in a plastic bottle by the local grocery store. For 20 liters (just over five gallons), he pays 90 rupee, or $1.35 — nearly a third of the average Indian's daily income of $4.41. "We don't have a 24-hour water supply in my neighborhood yet, let alone potable water," says Klein, who is originally from the United States. "The entire water supply system would have to be improved before I would drink tap water." India is now the world's third largest market for bottled water. According to the research firm Canadean, the amount India spent each year on bottled water nearly tripled from 2010 to 2015, growing from $6.275 billion to $16.7 billion. That represents 6 percent of the world's current bottled water consumption, a figure that Canadean expects to grow to 10 percent by 2020. As massive as those figures sound, they pale in comparison to China's. From 2010-2015, according to research firm Euromonitor, China's annual consumption of bottled water rose from 19 billion liters to 37 billion. By 2013, China had overtaken the U.S. as the world's biggest market for bottled water by volume; in 2015, Chinese consumers spent more than $26.5 billion on this basic Earthly resource, and there is no sign of a slowing. Canadean predicts that China and India will consume about 45 billion liters more bottles of water in 2020 than they did in 2015.
