Peak oil is dead, but the troll show goes on and on and on and on. I used to like this site.

Revi - "Peak oil is dead, but the troll show goes on and on and on and on." You are running the risk of having yourself tossed into the troll pile with such simplistic and UNDEFENDED statements. As I pointed out global peak oil is nothing more then a statistical metric. A metric that we may have reached already or is still ahead of us.

Thus it is neither "alive" or "dead". It is just a point in time that we may have already reached or is still ahead of us. If ahead of us perhaps just a few years or a few decades or a 50 years or 100 years, etc. So unless one subscribes to an infinite supply of oil GPO will be reached eventually. If we haven't passed that point I time already.

Perhaps by "dead" you mean the concern over reaching that point in time should be "dead" if that point in time is so far in the future it should be of little concern to anyone today with regards to its effect on them. I might concede that position. Except it is a poor position IMHO. Do I really need to list the traumas various parts of the global economies have suffered from the Peak Oil Dynamic whether we have reached GPO yet or not.

I think we have not got to peak oil yet.The real peak will come when after a shortage in supply occurs and lasts long enough for increased drilling and exploration ,in response to the higher prices, fails to increase supply. Once that reality sets in where in spite of everything the oil drillers can do they can't increase the total produced or even keep up with the decline in old fields the major (I hope not panic) sets in.When that will happen depends on how accurate the KSA a,Iraq , and Russian reserves have been stated.
If you believe what the say it is decades away. If you think they are lying it might be next week.
Edit I'll lace the typos where they are so you can laugh at my fat fingered typing.

It's more logical to look at it not in terms of price or production per se but production per capita, based on the assumption that a global capitalist economy needs a growing global middle class.

The thrust of the Womens’ March on Washington and its various affiliates is getting more women involved in electoral politics and ratcheting up the voter-turn-out as the mid-term Congressional elections approach. Healing social divides, most notably around gender, sexual orientation, race, and immigration seem to be the defining issues motivating citizens to action. Interestingly, there seems to be less attention paid to urgent human security concerns related to military interventions, surveillance culture, and economic upheaval. By and large, elected representatives are prisoners to other forces entrenched in society. In particular, the various corporate lobbies, or ‘special interests’ arguably have much more

My view is that "peak oil" is not dead just postponed by the advent of fracking shale beds. As long as expanded fracking can keep pace with the decline of legacy fields it will be BAU. Eventually we will get to a point when throwing on extra drill rigs into anywhere that is left to drill will not replace the decline in both the legacy fields and those already fully fracked out shale beds with their rapid decline rates and then Peak oil will rise like a Phoenix.

vt - And as predictable as the next sun rise: here comes the Rockman and the POD. Same song...new verse. Why I will always prefer the POD (Peak Oil Dynamic) to "PO". While it's difficult for some to see $30/bbl in PO it's clearly a part of the dynamic we've experienced. No different the $146/bbl oil. Pick any feedback loop and it's much easier to fit it into the POD then PO.

IOW high/low oil prices, high/low rig counts, high/low global oil production rates, etc: all part of the path we're HEADING towards PO. And the extremes of those various components of the POD are what hit the headlines. And the actual date of global PO? It probably won't even be confirmed until may decades after it is reached. And on that date we might have had high or low oil prices, high or low rig count, economic stability or recession, etc.

PO "dead"? Who cares? The POD is very much alive and affecting (for the good or the bad) every person on the planet every day.
