  • I find the argument of peak oil to be a hoax. It appears that every generation or so there is always a scare on some dwindling resource. If you go back to 1865 you will find a book by Williams Jevons entitled: "The Coal Question: An Inquiry Concerning the Progress of the Nation, and the Probable Exhaustion of our Coal-mines". This book was about "peak coal". If oil was really drying up and this is the life blook of warfare, wouldn't we see much more drilling in the US?

  • @scottgo9 Look at the data, there was a tremendous explosion of drilling in the US following our peak of production in the 1970s. If I remember right, there have been (many) more wells drilled in the US than the rest of the world combined. Problem was, they didn't find enough oil to stop our production from declining by over 50% in less than 40 years.

  • I'm from Norway and I know what has happened in the North Sea.

    Norwegian production 2001: 3m barrels/day

    Norwegian production 2011: 2m barrels/day and shrinking

  • How wrong was this idea? How about making a video about Peak Taco's. Same shit!

  • i think peak oil has already happed look at historical data for energy consumption from oil it has been declining as a %of total energy since late 80s just like peak coal happed before at the end of industrial revolution, or peak stone after the stone age. nominally the oil consumption has been declining since 2007, (but the economy idiot ... i know however the change was most evident in 09).

    just sayin

  • Sounds like a Self fullfilled prophecy Lorax. People say it, then others believe it.

  • You're correct! Peak oil is a fact. The only question is when we'll reach the inflection point. A cursory examination of the facts should serve to convince anyone with an operating brain (sorry if I've insulted any readers). Sadly, there are many credulous individuals who buy into disinformation spewed under the guise of think tank blather. People: We need to engage our brains to think deeply about the type of future we'd like for our species. Anything less dooms us to extinction.
