I must say, I think JD delivered some good work. I think it's very important to always check out both sides of the debate.
Therefor I find it rather lame he's quitting.
Kinda reminds me of that Simpsons episode when Marge pulls the plug on a boxing video game (just at the very moment when Homer is going to win the game for once) and Bart announces his retreat from video boxing and proclaims his undefeated champion status.

What the heck are you people talking about!? Did you even read JD's last post? He is saying that he will quit posting because he thinks peak oil is a NON-EVENT. I think he's right.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('toadster', '.')..he thinks peak oil is a NON-EVENT. I think he's right too.

By closing his blog he is admitting that he has no rational arguements to back up his claims. He has reached a point of burnout where he is unable to defend his positions any longer. His whole blog was just one excuse after another moving from one from topic to next that overall missed the big picture of resource depletion. He simply ran out of excuses and was back to square one with no solution in sight.

JD never answered questions, only asked them, but not to truly learn anything, he asked just to be an ass.

For example, he never did answer the question why the US invaded Iraq. He will try and shoot down reasons people give, but he refused to offer an explanation. Typical.

JD was right with one statement in his blog:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('JD', '
')
My response: No, sorry, I'm tired of waiting. I'll be doing something more constructive with my time than playing we're-going-to-collapse/no-we-won't/yes-we-will with peak oil burnouts and neurotics. I'll start worrying when something worth worrying about actually happens.

Jay Hanson walked away from a Certain Site as well... doesn't mean he's wrong.

You guys.

Hey a retreat is a retreat. He opened his blog to debunk PO and he failed. He came up with no new ideas himself and posted a bunch of old ideas that had already been disprooved as viable alternatives to oil. His last post might of well been his first. As said before, he was part of trend, not a trend maker. Everyone starts off as PO skeptics.

When JD started out, the average citizen would have agreed with him wholeheartedly. Now, with gasoline approaching $4 and oil soon to pop over $80, the whole world sits on the edge of their seats waiting to see which one of two fanatic religious wackos leaders blinks first or if perhaps we just just escalate right into WWIII without more than 5 minutes of advance warning.

So, at this particular point in history, JD decides to let us all know, in his infinite wisdom, that PO is a farce and a non-event and he's not going to waste any more time on it.

Talk about bad timing, I don't think anyone's been this spectacularly idiotic since Irving Fisher in the fall of 1929.

Do you think that someone with JD's personality flaws would, for one second, give up the chance to stick it to us doomers with another million 'I told you so's' if he was truly convinced he was right ?

You people need to take some basic psych courses. You understand nothing about what makes people tick.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Novus', 'E')njoy the victory while you still can for this is no victory. I would have much rather had our side debunked. Now society will decend into an uncertain future of crisis and eventual collapse. In time we may regret with sorrow the day we mocked the cornucopians in their defeat.

So the answer is, yes we all lose.
