I have not logged in to this site in over a year, so I am kind of behind on news and all that junk. Last I was here I was kind of convinced that peak oil happened in 2005. Is 2005 still the year that most people figure that peak oil hit for conventional oil, or has any new data come out. I know I could probably read up on articles in the forums but I don't have the patience to read through all that. Anybody want to fill me in on new news.

we are riding the plateau i believe, the recession helped dampen demand and cool prices
I think that's basically where we are now

Plateau is over and we are clearly on the down slope now. Hello $80 oil in the middle of a huge recession. In 2005 during the boom times it took a hurricane to get oil to $80. Things have changed since then namely Peak Oil happened. Oil production is declining and the economy is imploding as a result.

Thank you all for filling me in, Should be interesting to see how it all plays out. I believe the US corn harvest is supposed to be poor this year, so I am sure this might effect bio fuel production. I think I will just sit back and enjoy the show.
