".
As in the Mombaur report on natural gas supply, the substance of this report too may be found not in its explicit concerns but in the underlying ones, namely in the fact that world petroleum production has more or less reached or even already passed its peak, and natural gas production will go the same way in time.
The report suggests various measures, which amount to a set of palliative steps. This approach does not get to the heart of the matter or tackle the larger problem, which is our falling capacity to produce petroleum.
While the European Parliament’s proposed Amendments Nos 2 and 5 point to the need to reduce the demand for petroleum, mentioning renewable energy sources, researchers claim that what is actually needed is a reduction in supply over time.
Various researchers claim that there is a need to bring demand into line with supply capacity, to restrain demand according to the rate at which the resource is being exhausted, thereby avoiding any imbalance. Saying that demand ‘must’ be diversified and reduced is not enough. We need to find an objective basis to substantiate that reduction. A target for reducing consumption, something similar to Kyoto – not made into a mystery or a big deal – is a most essential and pressing requirement."@en1
