Worryingly, for a world reliant on the dirt-cheap energy that oil provided throughout the last century, the idea that oil production in all nations may soon start to decline just as in the North Sea has been seeping into the mainstream. The "peak oil" theory – that oil production has reached its maximum and will soon begin its decline, bringing potentially catastrophic consequences to the modern world – no longer just comes from internet crackpots and conspiracy theorists; now geologists, market analysts and oil prospectors believe that this scenario is becoming reality. And within the past year, there have been signs that the major oil companies are admitting this themselves. If they are right, high petrol prices could be the least of the world's problems. | Translation - Italian
Purtroppo, per un mondo che si affida all'energia sporca e a basso prezzo che il petrolio ha provveduto durante tutto lo scorso secolo, l'idea che la produzione di petrolio in tutte le nazioni possa presto cominciare a calare come nel Mare del Nord sta filtrando nel pensiero comune. La teoria del picco del petrolio - che la produzione del petrolio ha raggiunto il suo massimo e comincerà presto a calare, portando conseguenze potenzialmente catastrofiche al mondo moderno - non arriva più soltanto da eccentrici internettiani e teorici della cospirazione; ora geologi, analisti del mercato e cercatori di petrolio credono che questo scenario stia divenendo realtà. E nell'anno passato vi sono stati segni che le stesse grandi compagnie petrolifere stiano ammettendo ciò. Se hanno ragione, l'alto prezzo del petrolio potrebbe essere l'ultimo dei problemi del mondo. |

I'm 30, I have a degree (equivalent to M. Sc.) in mechanical engineering obtained at the University of Trieste, in Italy, where I live. Presently, I'm working on my research project as a Ph. D. student in the field of topology optimization techniques applied to fluid dynamics.
In my life, I worked as a worker in a factory and as an employee in the local tribunal, I also taught maths and physics.
Up to now translation has been a part time job for me, I have always found my customers putting an advertisement on local newspapers; now I hope that ProZ can help me expand this "little business".
I'm a native speaker of Italian, but since most part of the scientific literature is written in English, I would say that I read more frequently in this language than in mine.
I can also read French.
