Peak Oil - How I found out

How I Found Out About Peak Oil. 911 was a turning point for me. Back then, there was very little information on Peak Oil in the media or news articles.

...perspective.

You are correct, the peak oil problem is going mainstream. I've noticed a sea change in the last couple of years. And it's perhaps not a coincidence that there is also greater awareness of monetary problems. But I think most people haven't yet connected the two together and have not really grasped the implications of peak oil and a growing money supply in terms of food production, industrial processes and population.

The abundance of conspiracy theorists doesn't help either!

I have a few friends that can see the financial crisis clearly, but fail to see peak oil as a problem. The answer is always the same...there is plenty of gas at the pump. They also feel that everything that happens is orchastrated by the "Illuminati," I don't dismiss the fact that there are elite cabals out there, but that their ability to manipulate all events and deal with so many variables is an impossibility. Regardless, Time is running out on mutiple fronts.Thanks for comm...

I've known about peak oil and hubberts curve since the early 2000's. Back then peak oil, even though it's a proven fact, was mocked by conservative media. I didn't really pay close attention until I hit my pocketbook in 2008. The most influential media for me to lay out all of the details was Chris Martenson. I had not heard of Kuntsler.

@phatcheck Chris was one of the first to put finance/oil/ and the environment into one "ball of wax". I'm suprised that you were able to put peak oil in the back of your head for so many years. Its one of the few things i think of on a constant basis. James howard Kunstler is a peak oil proponent. He is a author by trade and provides witty writings on a host of topics, including peak oil of course...worth checking out

thanks for writing in!

...and I was now able to see the relation between the value of money and the availability of energy. This is what led me to invest in precious metals. By putting the monetary system, peak oil and environmental concerns together, a more complete picture emerged, one of systemic unsustainability. Looking back on those days I realised how compartmentalised our thinking can be. Having studied economics, I was seeing everything in financial and economic terms. Now I have a much broader...

...mentioned peak oil and we talked about it for many hours. But, despite being extremely interested with the issue, I switched off for a few years. At the time I was deeply concerned about flaws to our debt based monetary system and thought it was only a matter of time before a major financial crisis broke out.

Then in 2006-2007 I started thinking about peak oil again but this time I was able to connect the dots. My understanding of the monetary system had become more sophisticated...

I'm surprised to find you saying you "found out about peak oil" but I understand what you mean. I have the feeling this is something that was always in people's mind but never at the forefront. The world running out of oil! That's the primitive way of thinking about future energy concerns. I even remember thinking about it as a teenager 20 years ago but it always seemed distant, like most environmental issues.

Then about 8 years ago, at the begining of the Iraq war, a friend of mine...

@Postcarbonman It is for us here in this country. The Russians have an abiotic well going over there for their purposes. That's why they're back on the market. We tried the same thing in the gulf and you see what happened. We have 8x Saudi Arabia's oil sitting in the middle of the country right now. Don't tell me about dirty crude either. If the Japanese can refine it out of Alaska, then so can we. It's a hoax. It's another Carbon Credit scheme. Ponzi all the way.

@chop98 Oil production did peak in 2006. It's a statistic. Easy oil is going fast.

I awoke only 9 months ago to fully understand Peak Oil. I had hunches prior to that but had never studied the concepts. The first night I found Matt Savinar's Life After the Oil Crash, I couldn't stop reading it and have never stopped researching since. Chris Martenson is very helpful for me and i read his site every day. I also appreciate Kunstler and Heinberg. So since my awakening: bought 700 ounces of silver, have 2 months of food in the pantry and growing, sold cars and stuff.
