"The third world countries are not going to be majorly affected by a lack of oil - they barely use any"

There are many who say the above. But, I am inclined to think that the third world will be indirectly hit by the loss of oil. Why? Because that oil is how they are getting their food and other aid. I don't think there are going to be a lot of countries who will want to use up their remaining oil resources and stores to feed millions of people who are going to die anyway.

Sorry to be so brutal....

There's no percentage in saying "I told you so.", but it is awfully satisfying to have people who couldn't hear us a couple of years ago now want to know what's going on. I just tell them. No sense in rubbing it in.

It would be nice if people in power would get it, but what are they going to do?

I am working on getting the bus station nearby fixed up. We may need it sooner than we think. I talked to the town manager and I pointed out that at $5 a gallon it won't just be the bottom tier of society riding the bus. He seemed to get it. Time will tell if he does something about it.

I think that it is more effective to say, now's the time, instead of we told you so.

There is such thing as being a bad winner. People do have limitations in what they believe or accept. Some just are too busy with their own lives and can't really pay attention to serious subjects. When the effects of PO are obvious to everyone I will not tell them "I told you so!" The very facts will speak for themselves. It's like mocking others for not believing you while the ship is sinking with you and everyone in it. At that point does it really matter who was right or wrong? Food for thought.

Question for those of you happy about this: what do you gain?

I, for instance, might get a few more visits at LATOC. Same here at PO.com. That's all well and good for me and Aaron and I'm quite happy about it. See me tap dancing? But it also means we're that much closer to the lights going out for good.

In other words, I actually stand to benefit - both financially and politically - from this at least in the short term but I'm not jumping up and down with glee because it only confirms that all of us, myself included, are doomed and doomed soon.

So why the almost child like glee?

I think Matt is right on about this.

We might as well be right about knowing that an asteroid is going to hit the earth in the next 3 months.

PO will hit and when it does it will take all the plans ever made and turn them into dust.

Well, I for one prefer peak oil inconveniences to wrecking up the planet with global warming...

[Gazzatrone]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('DantesPeak', 'W')hy let those losers off the hook at $90? Why not $100, $150, $200? Ok, well, at around $200 the whole pricing system will start to break down, so we can't wait until then.


BTW - Lynch has been saying for about six months the price will go up for awhile, but go down later. So he only deserves an outer circle of Dante's inferno.

Where's the techno fix? Where are the alternatives? Where are all those hidrogen cars? And most of all, where is that somebody that whas going to do something. "They" are not doing anything at all, "they" that wouldn't allow this to happen aren't doing anything, price is going up.

WE TOLD YOU SO
But what you can't underestand is that we told you so you could prepare. We told you so you could be ready and have a better chance.

We are right, you are fucked.
