Club of Rome - "The Limits to Growth" 1972

The Dr. Hubbert peak oil theory of 1956 was shown to hold true for the USA in 1973, Club of Rome 1972, how was this incorporated in the economic sciences?

The core message of both: a scarcity of raw materials is possible and will occur. The first issue concerning scarcity: not all raw materials will become scarce at the same rate, so are there alternative options? What else could cars drive with? With coal, crude oil, natural gas, biomass or electricity. How can a building be heated? With coal, crude oil, natural gas, biomass, solar energy or electricity. Electricity can be used directly or for a heat pump that draws heat from various sources to heat the building. Electricity can be produced from coal, crude oil, natural gas, uranium, biomass, wind power, hydropower and solar energy.

Very wide scientific resarch area

Today we know that in the transport sector oil will be replaced with electricity from renewable energy stored in lithium-ion batteries. But why was there so little interdisciplinary collaboration after 1973 to assess the various scenarios? From nippy little electromobiles to the steam car, both of which had been invented by 1900.

How influences demand the price?

The price is determined by supply and demand. But there are very different markets. There are markets where increased demand leads to lower prices and others where more demand pushes prices up.

Since the Club of Rome report "The Limits to Growth" and peak oil USA it was clear that an increasingly scarce source of energy can quickly become expensive and must be replaced by a different energy source, which is still relatively unexplored, where scarcity is not a problem and which will become cheaper through the transition to mass production.

Where have such scenarios been included in the calculations of economic science?

Politics - political targets of PEGE
	Nonpolitical, pragmatic, on the other side of ideologies counts in our politic only one target: A long time lasting civilization able to develop further on a stable base.

Philosophy
	Long-term planning and stability have to be the guiding rules of politics. A philosophy based on the mathematic branch of games theory.

Living standard
	What is living standard? How is living standard correctly measured? Is it possible, that our living standard declines drastic, while uncorrect numbers want to make us belive it's like paradise?

Taxes tax politics
	The consequences of the tax politic for humans and environment. The politicians claim to fight for humans and the environment, but the tax politics shows the exact opposit.

Energy politic
	Decades of wrong energy politic. Instead of more living standard with less energy usage, partial the contrary was reached. A result of the wrong tax politic.

The hunt for the culprit has ended
	Since 1991 PEGE has been trying to lead humanity into the solar age, but has met with hard and completely irrational resistance. Who could be mad enough to be against paradise?

What is science? The example of astronomy
	To understand the meaning of unscientific, we need to look at how a serious science is conducted: it is always developing better methods to measure theory against reality.

Cloud Cuckoo Land
	An ideal world where there is a precise correspondence between theory and reality. The world in which economc science functions perfectly.

The oil crisis and the economic crisis of 2008
	The crisis occurred 35 years after economic scientists failed to include the increasing scarcity of raw materials and alternative strategies in their calculations.

Follow-up environmental costs
	The way economic scientists deal with follow-up costs for the environment. Trusting in a ''science'' that ignores the requirement of survival.

Easy-earned money - hard-earned money
	Most of the costs for transportation and building heat have to be paid with the hardest-earned money: imports can only be paid through foreign exchange assets from exports.
