My Interest In PO Has Just Peaked

Unread postby Wallygator » Wed 23 Feb 2005, 22:43:57

Okay, so in the last month or so I've concluded that the world is going down the sh#*$er. I also came to the realization that all the hard work I put in the last few years is almost worthless and a chance at working for the airlines is just a dream, because as JulianJ has correctly stated the airlines are the Canary in the Mineshaft. I also discovered that most of us here accept that PO is a reality but we're not in agreement about when it's going to happen. I really want to know when it's going to happen. Oh, the suspense! PO has occupied my mind continously for the last month and now I'm getting bored of it. This fact coupled with the constant bickering between Matt and Jay is making me tired. Although my interest in PO has just peaked and it's on a steady slide downward I still know that it will happen in the future. For now I think "che sara, sara: whatever will be will be" Right now I'm going to pour me another shot of rum. Cheers! :cry:

Peak oil, at it's bare roots, means that energy is going to get more expensive. That has already happened. Now, whether it is because of refining shortages, hurricanes, regional conflicts, speculation, or outrght depletion is moot; higher energy prices are here, and I believe here to stay. We have hit a production/distribution ceiling that may be just a dip in the roller coaster ride. China's ever-increasing consumption is changing the dynamics as well, along with terrorists events.

From here on out, it will be a struggle to meet demand. A very costly struggle. So, we can choose to hope that oil will go back to $10/barrel or accept it may go up to $60. If we prepare for $60, we can't lose.

When oil peaks, so peaks civilization as we know it. As Bob Dylan sang, "The times they are a-changing"

Thanks MonteQuest for the reply but I already downed the shot of Bacardi and I'm eyeing another one. Rum is making me feel a little warm and pretty soon PO wont seem that bad. [smilie=eusa_boohoo.gif] [smilie=llorar.gif]

Wally, when you're really ready to go nuts, try this. Get a couple hours of Chomsky audio talking about US foreign policy, smoke up, and go to www.dieoff.org, and just groove.

It's evil.

I'm on my way to Rite Aid right now to get my fix. See you in an hour.

Matt Savinar's site was the 2nd site about PO I read. I keep reading it to this day. It's one of the best collections of core articles for neophyte peak oilers.

My hat goes off to Matt Savinar. He is spreading the word in what he thinks, and so do I, is the biggest problem facing the human species today.
