DescriptionGras, A. (2006) Future air transportation faced to the coming lack of cheap oil: A socio-anthropological point of view, Centre d’Etudes des Techniques des Connaissances et des Pratiques


We are now facing the consequences of the choice of fossil energy to fuel the thermic motor. This was a not only a technical but also a cultural, choice of civilization. There is no doubt that we are now entering the Hubbert Peak, which is not an abrupt peak but a flat section of the curve before the decline of oil production. We have no solution for airplane by using new fuel. Thus the only solution would be to change the whole macro-technical system of transportation and political leaders should recognize that the worlds oil supply and demand balance is at a critical juncture and they must act soon taking practical steps to constrain demand growth. Paper presented at the 2005 ATRS conference, Rio de Janeiro
