	glbtq >> social sciences >> Goodstein, David
		Goodstein's first move was to create the Whitman-Radclyffe Foundation (combining the names of gay poet Walt Whitman and lesbian novelist Radclyffe Hall), an organization to educate the public and to further gay and lesbian social and political issues.
		Goodstein's second venture began in 1972 when he organized the Committee for Sexual Law Reform to support a move to repeal California's sodomy law, which accomplished its goal when the California legislature repealed the statute in 1975 (effective January 1, 1976).
		Goodstein also moved the publication's headquarters from Los Angeles to San Mateo, which was not only more convenient for him but also out of the orbit of activists in Los Angeles and San Francisco, with whom he frequently engaged in feuds.

		David Goodstein, Professor at Caltech, to Speak on “The End of the Age of Oil”

		Goodstein admits that some geologists disagree that we will deplete all oil sources within this decade, but even conservative calculations predict the price of oil will increase beyond the reach of most people within the foreseeable future.
		Goodstein opens with a quote from a geologist who predicted in the 1950s, to derision, that U.S. oil reserves would inevitably be depleted.
		Applying this reasoning to global reserves, Goodstein warns not only that the last drop will be pumped by 2100 at the latest, but also that peak production, estimated to occur in the current decade, marks the beginning of a global shortage.

	SIAM: Meeting the World's Energy Needs
		Goodstein complements Deffeyes's primer on "the oil patch" with a brief history of the energy concept.
		Technical quibbles aside, Goodstein says that it is all but impossible to deny that oil, gas, and (probably) coal production rates in any one region---or in all regions combined---are likely to rise to a single Hubbert-like peak, and then dwindle (more or less steadily) to nothing.
		That unwelcome fact, Goodstein and Deffeyes agree, reduces to irrelevance the seemingly endless stream of com-placent official assurances that there is enough oil and gas in the ground to continue producing at current rates for another forty to sixty years.

	Lateline - 23/11/2004: Professor Goodstein discusses lowering oil reserves
		PROFESSOR DAVID GOODSTEIN: We know that Royal Dutch Shell did because they were audited by the SEC, by an external auditor an independent auditor forced to reduce their estimated reserves by 20 per cent.
		PROFESSOR DAVID GOODSTEIN: The people who would like to believe that the Hubbard's peak is further away than some of us fear, believe that we may make great discoveries in the deep oceans and the Antarctic, as you say, and central and northern Siberia and so on.
		PROFESSOR DAVID GOODSTEIN: Well, we went through a presidential election in the US in which neither party mentioned anything having to do with this problem, which I think is the most important problem of our era.

	Goodstein foresees 'End of the Age of Oil' - MIT News Office
		Goodstein did not downplay the seriousness of the approaching oil shortage.
		Goodstein said a combination of fuel conservation through hybrid vehicles, more efficient buildings and factories and "feebates" -- fees for gas-guzzling cars -- will provide short-term solutions.
		While global warming is not all bad -- Goodstein pointed out that if some global warming had not occurred during the Earth's existence, we would not be here -- global warming tied to greenhouse gases is causing unpredictable changes at an increasingly rapid rate.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Books: Out of Gas, by David Goodstein, Paperback
		Author David Goodstein says the world’s citizens must face the facts: the end of the age of oil is at hand.
		Goodstein’s whole theory is if we don’t start to take a look at what is going on with our oil supply and start looking at other possible resources, like coal or nuclear fission, to fill in the gap when our oil runs out then we are in big trouble.
		Goodstein is not some flaky, back-to-earth type, insists the publicist, but a sober-minded scientist (and vice provost at the California Institute of Technology) issuing a warning.

		But David and [cofounder] Rob Eichberg articulated a vision in 1978 that by the year 2000 it be absolutely OK to be lesbian and gay.
		Goodstein complained that there was "an awful lot of a syndrome I have defined as `toilet mentality'--that is, a willingness to accept second-rate status as human beings, expecting to lose rather than win, and a constant involvement in petty right-wrong games."
		"David was one of those people who goes up on the mountaintop and says `There are better lands elsewhere,' but he never himself quite got there," says Mark Thompson, a former Advocate editor who was present at the first Experience workshop.

	Caltech Press Release, 1/20/2004, Dr. David Goodstein
		Goodstein argues that global production will peak sooner than most people think, possibly in this decade--a view held by a number of geologists--and that the peak itself will be the beginning of serious and widespread social and economic consequences.
		Goodstein writes that the worldwide peak will almost surely be highly disruptive, if not catastrophic, considering the difficult American experience of the early 1970s, when U.S. production met its own peak.
		Goodstein, who has taught thermodynamics to a generation of Caltech students, is particularly accomplished in conveying the basic scientific information in an easily understandable way.

	Are We Running Out of Oil?
		Goodstein is not an environmental extremist, or a doomsayer, or a political hack trying to make points with his constituency.
		That will be followed by declining availability of fossil fuels that could plunge the world into global conflicts as nations struggle to capture their piece of a shrinking pie.
		Goodstein relies partly on the work of a historical rebel in the oil industry, M. King Hubbert.

		Goodstein: No, I don’t mean 4, 5, 6, 7 decades; I mean on the scale of 1 to 2 decades.

		Goodstein also explains why "reserves to production" (R/P) numbers have stayed about the same for many decades and why many experts say we still have forty years of oil left, same as we have had for most of the twentieth century.
		Goodstein's take on the various alternatives to oil, including coal, shale oil, nuclear energy, renewables, etc. is very much in concert with the opinions of other experts.
		Goodstein explores wind and solar and makes it clear that in the long run--if we and civilization are going to make it to the long run--we will have to develop the technology to exploit these renewable sources.
