Kelly Sloan: The Fallacy of Peak Oil

[oifex]

LOL the person who made this video is obviously a moron. Peak Oil doesn't mean that we will run out of oil but that we'll run out of cheap, easily available oil. And it means that the extraction rates declines. Technology won't help us because all the nifty technologies like gas injection and horizontal drilling have been used for years yet the oil fields still peak and extraction declines inevitably. Getting oil from tar sands is energy intensive and won't give us cheap oil either.

This guy is obviously clueless. The government can't create anything?! Well let's see..... who created the top 3 technological breakthroughs: Man to the moon, atom bomb, & Panama Canal? That's right... it was government! Moron.

every point in this presentation has been disproven time and time again by peak oil advocates, and relating population and food production to oil? you left out the point about how this new food of ours is devoid of neutrients and killing us...no new technology is going to replace oil ever, not solar, wind, wave, thermal, ethanol (lol) or anything else, its NOT going to happen, the world simply has to shrink

We are definitely going to hit a limit when atmospheric CO2 reaches 2% because then it becomes poisonous to humans. Does anyone know when this will be.

[URProductions]

Probably never.

good video, but in my opinion Ethanol as a substitute for gas can do more than the tar sands as far as production goes both now and in the future. I wish that we weren't so desperate for oil that have to include the tar sand in our portfolio. but as it stands we need all of the different sources of liquid fuel we can find.
