Oil-Finder beat you to it, a couple of moons ago.

Maybe you should stop counting your gold and read the threads once in a while :P :)

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'H')undred-dollar oil will provide a clear incentive for reinvigorating fields and unlocking extra barrels through the use of new technologies. The consequences for emerging oil-rich regions such as Iraq can be far more rewarding. By 2040 the country's production and reserves might potentially rival those of Saudi Arabia.



Great, business as usual. :razz:

Actually bro...

I am in Utah and have been at meetings with oil/gas operators for the past 4 days so I have not had a chance to read much ...or count my gold (that I see is doing very well)...

On a PO board - a guy like me that is on the actual front line I would think is a pretty good poster to have around as opposed to an armchair peaker like you, maybe not...eh?

BTW - guess who is getting into gas drilling here? Oh - maybe I will save that nice tidbit for someone who knows what the fuck time it is.

Mods - please merge - my apologies for being a bit behind (again)...

Actually, you're a condescending asshole, and if you fell off a cliff who would give a fuck?

You're on the "front lines"!!

Shit! Talk about an exagerrated sense of self.

Have you got your finger shoved down a bore hole to keep all of us arm-chair peakers updated as to how the Peak is coming.

Douchebag.

Aren't you the asshole who was harassing his wife because she wasn't into adopting your 42 page bugout treatise?

Hah!

Glad we have you aboard.

And gee, who could argue with a guy who spends his few scant moments away from the "front lines" posting incessantly?

Not I.

Roccman, you must have a nice Blackberry - imagine that you respond almost immediately to posts even from the Front Lines of Peak Oil.

You have important things to discuss? Like what? How you're going to kidnap your kids because your ex-wife thinks you're an idiot and a loser?

Tell me this, Roc, why doesn't a guy like you, you know, on the Front Lines of Peak Oil, have an "expert" rating?

Hmm?


Is it because they're not handing out the rating based on 3,000 spam posts about how you're going to sue your ex wife to force her to acknowledge Peak Oil in a court of competent jurisdiction? :roll:

You're a douchebag, but worse than juts being a plain old douchebag, you're a douchebag who was more than happy to put his ex-wife and kids through hell in order to attempt to maintain the control you had before she threw you out on your douchebag ass.

Maybe they'll give you an "advanced novice" tag after you spam this site with another 3,000 douchebag posts in which you attempt to back down other posters with claims that you are . . .

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'W')here do reasonable assumptions surrounding peak oil lead us? My view, subjective and imprecise, points to a period between 2045 and 2067 as the most likely outcome.


Saleri's "reasonable" assumption of peak is 10-30 years beyond even the most optimistic scenario laid to date by USGS, IEA, CERA, et. al.

Excuse me if I'm less than convinced.

Says the guy suing his ex-wife for not formally recognizing his "bug-out" plan.

If that's "getting it", I don't want to get it.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('roccman', '[')url=http://online.wsj.com/article/SB120459389654809159.html?mod=fpa_mostpop]The world is not running out of oil anytime soon. A gradual transitioning on the global scale away from a fossil-based energy system may in fact happen during the 21st century. The root causes, however, will most likely have less to do with lack of supplies and far more with superior alternatives. The overused observation that "the Stone Age did not end due to a lack of stones" may in fact find its match.[/url]

Yawn...


Most here confuse Reserves with URR. The AVG Reserve estimate has doubled since 1983. URR has doubled since 1992.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Dukkha', '^') I know. 16 trillion barrels? OK. Whatever you say, mate.

The WSJ has an exemplary track-record for coming out with crap like this. For years they've been doing their best to discredit theories of anthropogenic climate change and now Murdoch is its owner, no doubt even those loose editorial standards have been relaxed.


Ah yes, I forgot Ruppert. I wonder when his last trip to the Grove was?

And right on time, another eye-burning graph by FreddyH in his continuing campaign to denounce Peak Oil as fantasy.

If you're so convinced that there's no problem, why oh why do you spend all of your time on trying to convince us, of all people?

You're an old guy. Go enjoy what's left of your life. Drive around somewhere and enjoy the countryside. There's absolutely nothing to worry about and nothing to see here.

Have some respect you ignorant fool. Freddy is one of the few people worth listening too. He is not selling merch or books or speaking tours and seems to be presenting a balanced view of the facts. People like you are the problem. Not Freddy.

PeakingAroundtheCorner,

Your sentiment is valid. It can be distressing when our beliefs are challenged. However, both you and I and everyone else for that matter, need to keep in mind that we cannot be scared of the truth but rather it should be faced vis-a-vis.

When something false is stated we have every right to reject it. On the other hand when sound evidence is presented we need to re-evalute our beliefs, even at the expense of eating humble pie. Do we really want to hold on to a certain belief or do we want to know the truth? Humility is the beginning of all wisdom.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('killJOY', 'P')roof positive that the peak oil movement is lost.

Not the peak oil argument.

The peak oil movement.

As long as "officials" can get away with statements like "12 trillion barrels underground," then you can forget about any kind of change or adaptation or even growing awareness.

Peak oil mitigation is lost. Dead and buried.


You're correct killJoy. Add to this the running battles between some of the inflated egos that post on PO-dot-Com and you can see why this whole movement looks like a kooky cult.
