Obviously this guy is an inside the box type of guy. He hasn't thought about research in biotech which could allow us to make hyrdrogen making bacteria, or frankly bacteria that can produce any chemical. DuPont does similar with it's paints. He also discounted electric cars, and more importantly the new lithium battery technology, invented at MIT, which could make "quick charging batteries". What he says sucks, but it's not time to shit our pants yet.
If you are looking for a scape goat when you standard of living goes down the toiled BLAME THE RIGHT WING. These scum are about to fuck up EVERYTHING with their bigoted paranoid no-compromise, delusional nonsense. Guaranteed there will be tons of posts following this one STILL denying there is a problem just like they did with the financial crisis, Iraq (just one more surge and 'we' will win), global warming, wage stagnation, neo liberalism, resource infinitude etc, etc etc...
Folks think of an animal burning calories to secure food. It has to maintain a balance and/or slight excess of calories in what it consumes vereses what it expends to consume those calories........the will seek the most convenient prey to preserve energy expeditures.........but if they end up using more calories than the eat............then they will eventually die.
The animal is our society...........the food is our oil.........and we are fast running out of the low hanging fruit....
One way I prepared for peak oil was converting my home to a net-zero solar powered home that uses no oil or gas..I made a video about it called, "Preparing for Peak Oil"....
There is enough oil in the world...This is total bullcrap statistics trying to scare us into the Global Warming Going Green scam...To take away our rights and limit us more!!...
It's not about how MUCH oil, it's about how much cheap, easy-to-extract oil there is!
Costs money to extract oil. In many cases it doesn't come bubbling up outta the ground like on the Clampetts farm, y'all! LOL
Cost of extraction + the cost of finding it and drilling for it must be recouped BEFORE you start making a profit & going to find more of this FINITE resource before it runs out!
The oil that's being found now costs almost as much to extract as ya get for it!

The devaluation of Currencies is the reason for rising oil prices. Its not a supply/demand issue. During one GOP debate ron paul spoke of the price of oil pegged to the Euro , US dollar and Gold. The price rose 350% in relation to the US $ , Euro 200% , Gold?...it stayed flat , it didn't rise in relation to gold.
Why are you people questioning this? We know how much oil the world consumes daily and it's just doing the math. There's a billion Chinese with cars, what do you expect?
Im not so sure we are as far along as this gentleman describes, however, I am well aware that peak oil is a very serious threat to civilazation as we know it.
I think $5 to $7 gas in the next two years is going to be a reality.
not enough oil in the ground? what a dumb ass the us is loaded with oil they drill and cap drill and cap alaska kentucky etc.... saving for what 15 dollars a gallon come on your joking i fighting the banks and the irs weak dollar high oil prices and our dumb president we have the ability to do get our country back and running if congress would stop spending money on useless crap and start paying off the national debt we could sell our oil to pay our debt end rant Jesus save us please errrr!!!!!!
And...I have a HARD time believing that things were fine a few years ago and now everything is just SHIT. Just over a five year time period everything is just belly up. Oh, and oil really was heavily used since we've had cars. Cars have only been around 100 years. The world only had 100 years worth of oil?
Are these people fools? I have a Corolla that takes about 12 gallons for a fill-up. Um, if gas was $15 gallon, one tank would be $180. If I filled up once a week...$720 a month. Everyone has about $720 to fill up there cars a month??? More than a rent? If you have a two car family...$1440 month just for gas?? We would be ruined as a society.
Well then, geez i don't know maybe you could drive it less. Maybe you could build brick insulated houses and be more energy efficient. You guys have roughly the same gdp per capita of western europe, have a better climate and yet consume twice the amount of oil. Something has to give.
You know what is disgusting? I live in west des moines, iowa and I was putting gas in my car, this rich lady was at the pump next to me filling her new Escalade. The pump clicked off at $115 and I said to her,"are you feeling the pinch?" She said, "doesn't affect me, I know the poor people are sure complaining." CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS! I wanted to pull a gun out and shoot her. It was a sign to come when only the rich will have priveledge to energy, and the middle class will be poor.

Yes... there's shit loads of oil in the world and gas too.
But if it costs $22 a gallon to extract and make into gasoline... do you still want it?

Exactly: If we are at peak now, you'll see decline and it will be at
$5.00 by the end of 2008
$7-8 by the end of 2009
about $12.00 by the end of 2010 - things will start to crumble fast when it gets to $8.00.
