Good and clear speech. I knew the most of it, but this story can't be told enough.

For starters technology does not save the day. People do. We have all the technology to do this now, but people are not informed of the possibilities or think it's not possible. We know it's no easy task but instead of worrying about the problems we are thinking of ways to solve them. Some of which we have already covered. There are a lot of variables to consider and we do not have all the answers. We would like more people to join and help find workable solutions not hope for them.

interesting no one has viewed this (in terms of comments) in a year?

more proof that poeple are more interested in "dancing with the losers"

Watch Chris's course called "Crash Course". You can watch it on youtube or you can go to his web site and watch it there. He lays out "peak everything" very well and he is very much aware of the energy issue amongst other things that appear to be approaching or past peak.

his actions ARE what matter... i agree... with that, i felt he could have acknowledged the reality of oil depletion... i don't remember seeing that covered in either of his films. ... did I miss it? ... to me, timeframe isn't what's important regarding the debate of global oil depletion... the starting block we ever want is acknowledgment that there is a problem in the first place. ... i don't think there much question that oil depletion is occurring.

I misread your comment. You were correct about the Venus project and it's relation to the Movement.

Your other remark is incorrect. What Peter Joseph said in the interviews I saw was that he does not have the correct data to know where we are in relation to Peak oil. In other words there are so many lies out there we cannot really know.

This is minutia ultimately as he doesn't say he doesn't "believe in it" he says it is imminent yet indeterminate. His actions are what matter.

[Kurzrein]

I think he mentioned in one of the last radio addresses that he is does in fact believe in Peak Oil. I'm pretty sure he said that.

As I said in my first comment "Energy scarcity is only true with (the) current means we use today" That's what Peter was referring to. That's also clearly stated in Addendum which was the topic during the Alex Jones show. If AJ wasn't so busy acting like a child perhaps Peter could have made that point clear. I clarified Peter's position and told you where you can hear it for yourself. You can no longer claim you don't know. I encourage you to learn more for yourself. Visit the sites.

Hope for technology to save the day is just that, hope. Hope is not a policy. Innovation takes time, time we don't have. It also takes investment, and who's going to invest? There is nothing commercially viable that is anywhere near being ready, and won't be for decades. As for PJ, I'm just going by what I heard him tell Alex Jones: That energy scarcity is artificial. Perhaps he has changed, I dunno.
