$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'h')ttp://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18159257/ Global oil production will peak sometime between next year and 2018 and then decline, according to a controversial new model developed by a Swedish physicist.
-snip- And once production starts declining, there could be major supply problems, analysts say, especially when it comes to transportation—cars, aircraft, trains and boats are today without a ready alternative to petroleum-based liquid fuels.

You too? I do likewise now, my fascination in the subject as of late annoying my old folks and brother.

Still, I can't help but think 2018 is a tad optimistic. Are we really meant to believe we're going to increase capacity for over another decade?

[NEOPO]

Until proven otherwise 2005/2006 was the peak.

Even though, as other posters have stated, their estimate of peak seems wildly optimistic, this article still makes me happy.

MSNBC is definitely "mainstream", and they come right out and report the issue of peak oil without using the words "fringe", "crackpot", or "rich, creamy nougat".

We should be happy; this kind of mainstream attention, with no punches pulled, is what you guys have been bitching about for years. Now it's here, and it's just not good enough.

A couple of choice quotes

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'L')ynch thinks that the oil peak lies farther into the future, partially because there’s likely to be a lot of oil in as-yet undiscovered smaller fields.

“You don’t go looking for them until you run out of the giant fields,” Lynch said in a telephone interview. Robelius, and others like him, he said, suffer from a “perceptual problem—‘if I don’t see it, it must not be there.’”

[waegari]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('PeakingAroundtheCorner', ' ')I prefer to read foreign news sources because I believe them more than I beleive our press. I am finding that Peak Oil is finding more and more mainstream media attention. Could be sign that the peak oil dam is breaking.

This is the same dissertation we have discussed in several previous threads, like these:

Maybe time for some moderator action?


Anyway, the deal is this. If the oil reserves are small and demand grows ar 1,7 % per year, we peak in 2008. If they are big we peak in 2013. If they are big and demand growth is cut to 1,4 % we peak in 2018.




The higher-end standard case.
