@scepticsteve @chopsky The "refutation" video guy has so far refused to allow my comment: "This video makes mostly-valid factual claims about past and present of world oil discoveries/production. Unfortunately, its author lets his hostility get the best of him in mangling virtually every one of Epstein's (my) points. Michael Lynch and I have already publicly addressed the vast majority of the issues raised here. To listen to our hour-long discussion, just Google Alex Epstein Michael Lynch."

@fuckedspecies Size has nothing to do with it. He's 'picking' on people who are arguing a certain perspective in the public arena. If you're going to stand up and make a certain claim, then make damn sure you can back it up, whoever you may be.

I'm not sure who Alex Epstein is... but I like him.

I'm not an American either but I feel strongly about the dying values which once made America great. These values shouldn't be allowed to be stifled by neoliberal, hippy twats who secretly hate the productive.

This is amazing.

The downright naïevity and lack of knowledge about the subjects they're 'standing' for, amazes me every time with these ignorent occupiers.

They are as scary as any fanatic religious body, willing to destroy our freedom in favour of their twisted and holy green planet Walhalla. I hope these folks NEVER get their ways for it'll be the end of prosporous humanity as we know it.

Superb job!

When you tried to present facts she just kept saying, "That's not my concern". What a moron! How can she support a cause...any cause, when she doesn't even know the facts? Its a sad commentary on just who these OWS people are.

Simply amazing. Greetings from Poland.

Epstein you are a complete hack. Pick on somebody your own size next time. Your Fukashima argument is was beyond moronic. You never address the finitude behind all of the energy sources you appear to be championing. Rearrange them? You are a simplistic fucking idiot.

If any of the Occupy Wall Street crowd were capable of organized thinking, along with an epistemology consistent with reality, they would not be participants.

The fact that they are there is adequate evidence that they do not possess these qualities, and when they open their mouths to speak the proof is irrefutable.
