Doomstead Diner Audio Interview of Gail by Reverse Engineer on China Visit – April 12, 2015
Videos of Presentations Given at China University of Petroleum, Beijing, March 2015
These are the MP4 versions of the talks. The talks have been edited to remove questions from the floor, and discussion about these questions, partly because the single microphone used for recording did not pick up these conversations well. Also, much of this discussion was in Chinese, because the students often were not confident of their ability to speak in English.

Second Topic – Importance of Energy
Third Topic – Overview of a Networked Economy
Fourth Topic – Economic Growth and Diminishing Returns
Fifth Topic – Government Costs and Debt
Sixth Topic – Competition and Resource Exhaustion
Seventh Topic – Twelve Principles of Energy and the Economy (Review)

Video Giving Overview of My 2015 March-April Visit to China
I started my visit by teaching a two-week course at China University of Petroleum, Beijing. Next, I did some sightseeing in Inner Mongolia, including visiting the Genghis Khan museum and the city of Ordos. Later, I visited Daqing oil field and city (also called “Daqing”), and then took a train to the declining industrial city of Haerbin. Finally, I visited three businesses manufacturing and selling electrical equipment in the city of Hangzhou near Shanghai to find out how the poor economy was affecting their business. The company selling the largest scale electrical equipment, often to international customers, was most affected. The company selling relatively small equipment used inside residential and small commercial buildings in China was affected least. The company manufacturing mid-sized equipment was moderately affected.

Presentation: How High and Rising Oil Prices Can Lead to Limits to Growth
An MP3 recorded by Justin Richie of extraenvironmentalist.com is provided below (Many thanks!):
The conclusion I reach is that overall, we seem to be close to financial collapse. Thus, the “space” for declining future Energy Return on Energy Invested (EROI) is virtually zero. To me, this means that we now need to be looking from ways to raise EROI, rather than assuming that we can keep adding new low EROI energy production to the system, without adverse consequences.
