FreedomSlave, a word to the wise.

I suggest you cool it on the personal insults.

Example:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('FreedomSlave', 'O')r maybe you're posting drunk?
Or maybe you've just decided to become an asshole?

I am from Orlando. Welcome to the boards

[copious.abundance]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Cashmere', 'I')f you are a Peak Oil newb, then please heed the following . . .
Please DO NOT make your first post a "there is no problem, we have plenty of oil, alternatives are available, there's a big oil conspiracy, some guy heard 30 years ago that there's more oil in Alaska than there are moon rocks on the moon, oil is made at the core of the earth so there's a limitless supply, it's speculation that's driving up the price, we just need to drill more, and so on and on and on."
EVERY ONE of those incorrect assertions has been debated extensively on this site.

What does your computer savviness have to do with that? I highly doubt computer skills will have anything to do with growing food in a water scarce environment.

And, no, I dont have any good advice in that regard. Just being fussily precise.

Edit: A more accurate subject would've "How to practice permaculture in a water scarce environment"

Read, read and then read some more!

Aren't there sticky 'must read first' threads at the top of each forum topic? Although I suppose you can make all the sticky threads you like, some people will still just jump in to say their piece without doing their homework.

Greetings supplicant. Welcome to the shrine of peak oil.

[tex123]

NEWB here.
I take no offense to the term, as you said, it is what I am.

I have been researching peak oil for about 4 years now and am a firm believer in the theory. What I don't understand is why it is so hard to convince others in my daily encounters. I have heard every reason imaginable for the cause of rising fuel costs except that we might possibly, maybe, be running out just a little bit.

In the last two days I have been told: it is because of those darn Saudi's, or we have hundreds of oil wells capped off right here that are just waiting to be caressed into giving us all we need as soon as our conspiratory u.s government lets us have it, or it's those "greeny enviromentalists that won't let us drill the billions of barrels out of the ground/water in Anwar and off the eastern coasts, and of course the ever popular " it's the greedy oil companies that are just piling up thier fortunes while they stick it to the little people".

I have quit trying to convince people who don't believe. I am just waiting for reality to set in. When the truth is too ugly to bear most people, it seems just bury thier heads and wait for nanny government to give them their bottles.

Thanks for listening.

FreedomSlave: While I am quite certain you find your posts dreadfully clever, they have yet to demonstrate any real knowledge of Peak Oil, or add anything to the conversation regarding the possible outcomes of a post Peak Oil world.
I am sorry that you have so much time on your hands that you feel it necessary to spend it here attacking other posters.
I would suggest that you either post something relevant to the topic(s) being discussed or find somewhere else to amuse yourself.
