JD, I guess the obviousness is not obvious enough for you. The world hit peak oil discovery in the early 1960's. So this peak oil board should never have ever existed in the first place, or it should have existed in the 1950's as a monthly gathering of the Fraternal Order of Water Buffalo, or as a little blurb in the back of Popular Mechanics.

Aren't computers and the social networking they motivate a great thing?

WHT, I'm not sure if I understand your post.

Peak Oil is about peak prediction, not peak discovery.

No one is arguing that we haven't hit peak discovery.

We see the problem with a declining amount of cheap oil more here in Maine. We have a lot of people who have low or moderate incomes that are having a very hard time this winter paying for heating oil. LIHEAP is only covering about one month's worth of oil this year for people who make less than $11,000. It's going to cost some people around a thousand a month just to heat their houses. Where are they going to get it?

Oil has already gone beyond the ability of a lot of people to pay for it around here. I guess that's demand destruction in action. Somebody in some other state can now use that energy to heat up their jacuzzi. Peak oil is just getting started. I always thought that 2007-08 was going to be the winter of our discontent.

Peak oil is right on schedule, in my opinion.

I don't know what kind of crap JD is trying to pull. You fight empty rhetoric with empty rhetoric. By his logic we shouldn't even be talking about anything because it was all preordained almost 50 years ago.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Dezakin', 'W')hen you have reserves in the hundreds of billions of barrels accessible by surface mining, and resources in the trillions of barrrels potentially accessible with advanced in-situ techniques, you can set the flow rate as high as capital allows.

With surface mining its simply a matter of building more trucks. With In situ techniques its often a matter of simply building more infrastructure.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Dezakin', 'T')he biggest obsticle to tar sands production is capital and labor being locked away in other, more productive ventures. If conventional oil goes into terminal decline overnight, where do you think the capital and labor will flow?

I'm betting capital and labor wont go into terminal decline nearly as soon as the continual predictions here.
