The Gary Null Show - Peak minerals and plundering the planet for mineral wealth - 04/30/14

Professor Ugo Bardi is a professor of physical chemistry at the University of Florence in Italy, where he specializes in materials for new energy sources, resource depletion and climate science. He is the president of the Italian chapter of the Association for the Study of Peak Oil and Gas and a member of its international scientific committee. Professor Bardi is a regular contributor to “The Oil Drum” and “Energy Bulletin”. He is the author of “The Limits of Growth Revisited” which looks back at the famous 1972 MIT study “limits of growth” that predicted much of the future about resource depletion that we are witnessing today. His most recent publication is “Extracted: How the Quest for Mineral Wealth is Plundering the Planet” which focuses on the unsustainability of the current rate of mineral depletion for short term gain. His website is called Cassandra’s Legacy after the famous Homerian soothsayer and can be found at CassandraLegacy.Blogspot.com
