Timeline

Richard William Heinberg is an American journalist and educator who has written extensively on energy, economic, and ecological issues, including oil depletion.

He is the author of 14 books, and presently serves as the senior fellow at the Post Carbon Institute.

Heinberg grew up in St. Joseph, Missouri.

His father, William Heinberg, was a chemist and high-school physics and chemistry teacher.

Heinberg's interest in science came from his father, but at an early age, he rejected his parents' fundamentalist Christian beliefs.

At one point he lived at Colorado's Sunrise Ranch, headquarters of the "Emissaries of Divine Light" group, which Heinberg referred to as "a sort of benign cult".

1979

After two years in college and a period of personal study, in November 1979 Heinberg became personal assistant to Immanuel Velikovsky.

After Velikovsky's death, Heinberg assisted his widow in editing manuscripts.

1989

He published his first book in 1989, Memories and Visions of Paradise: Exploring the Universal Myth of a Lost Golden Age, which was the result of ten years of study of world mythology.

1990

Heinberg's books from the later 1990s address the relationships between humanity and the natural world.

1992

He began publishing his alternative newsletter, the MuseLetter, in 1992.

1993

His next book – published in 1993 – was Celebrate the Solstice: Honoring the Earth's Seasonal Rhythms through Festival and Ceremony.

1995

An expanded second edition was published in 1995.

In June 1995, speaking to the International Society for the Comparative Study of Civilizations in Dayton, Ohio, Heinberg provided "A Primitivist Critique of Civilization" and discussed the ways in which "we are, it would seem, killing the planet".

1998

In 1998, he began teaching at New College of California in the "Culture, Ecology and Sustainable Community" program, which he helped design.

2003

His book The Party's Over: Oil, War, and the Fate of Industrial Societies, published in 2003, was one of the first full-length analyses of peak oil.

2004

In 2004, Heinberg provided the closing address for the First US Conference on Peak Oil and Community Solutions.

His title was "Beyond the Peak".

2007

In February 2007, Heinberg addressed the Committee on International Trade of the European Parliament and served as an advisor to the National Petroleum Council in its report to the U.S. Secretary of Energy on Peak Oil.

In October 2007, the Green Party of Aotearoa organised a speaking tour of New Zealand for Heinberg, which included a presentation in the Beehive theatrette within the New Zealand Parliament building.

He remained a member of the Core Faculty until 2007, when the College closed its doors.

2008

In 2008 he was a Mayor's appointed member of the Oil Independent Oakland 2020 Task Force (Oakland, California), which was convened to chart a path for the city to dramatically reduce its petroleum dependence.

Heinberg is now the Senior Fellow of the Post Carbon Institute in Santa Rosa, California.

He is also a violinist, illustrator, and book designer.

He is married to Janet Barocco.

Heinberg has proposed an international protocol to peak oil management with the aim of reducing the impact of the arrival of the peak.

The adoption of the Protocol would mean that oil-importing nations should deal to reduce their importations in an annual percentage, while exporting countries should deal to reduce their exportations in the same percentage.

The Uppsala Protocol has been focused in a similar direction.

Heinberg is the editor of MuseLetter, which has been included in Utne Magazine's annual list of Best Alternative Newsletters.

Heinberg serves on the advisory board of The Climate Mobilization, a grassroots advocacy group calling for a national economic mobilization against climate change on the scale of the home front during World War II, with the goal of 100% clean energy and net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2025.

Heinberg is one of the more moderate commentators on peak oil (compared with others like James Howard Kunstler ).
