[Newsseeker]

by Colin Wright


Occasionally I run into someone who has heard about Peak Oil, but doesn't think it will matter much. Usually they are convinced that the peak is at least 30 years off. Or that we have copious amounts of alternative sources of energy (tar sands, oil shale, methane hydrates, etc.) that we can tap into as soon as the market signals. They may have read somewhere that people have been warning about the depletion of oil ever since it was first discovered. Or they may dismiss Peak Oil as the rantings of a doomsday cult, much like the Y2K prophesies of societal collapse.....

Thanx, that is quite well written and I agree with upwards of 85% of it, which is pretty good for a cantankerous old fart like me. What did you think of it Newsseeker?

It was interesting and well written. However, I'm always a bit skeptical of people who imagine they can predict what will happen in the future.
