$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('JudoCow09', 'L')et me put it this way. DVDs cost more when they intially came out than VHS, yet their advantages made people give up VHS almost completely. That's what I think could happen with Oil. We come out with something that has more advantages and switch to it. Over time, it will become cheaper.

Tyler made the essential point, which seems to go by the wayside again and again: our system is utterly dependent on CHEAP oil. This is so much more important than the concept of peak oil. No alternative will suffice unless it can be had for what we're paying for oil up to now, without substantive changes to our world.

If gold was all suddenly worth $100 a pound post-peak, we'd be fine, would we not? Maybe I'm wrong.

Hey, the front page compares Humpty Dumpty to our current predicament and I'm sure none of you are sitting there thinking that's silly. It's principle, not factors.

I went to the debunking peakoil blogspot, which purported to have "facts and figures" to expose peakoil. But I didn't find anything but the usual uninformed rantings of a typical cornucopian with no real idea about the Physics involved in alternative fuels, etc.

Did I miss something?

I am interesting in the "other side," but I didn't find anything there.

Peak Oil isn't a energy crisis(which it was until that was disproven), and it's not a liquid fuel crisis(because we have alternatives), it's a cheap multipurpose material crisis. Would the world economy rather crash into the ground, or work together to use (relatively) more expensive alternatives to what we have?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('MattSavinar', 'I') already debunk all the arguments on my site. John's blog is nothing more than personal attacks on me, Julian Darley, Colin Campbell, Jay Hanson, and the peak oil "movement" in general, associating all of us with the fascist political movements, which is just laughable.

Funny, the board topic index said "Peak Oil is Nonsense" and the very next thread topic was "Peak Oil Is Here"!
