So dude, SPG, you say no economic slow down is enough to stop the ramifications of peak oil and scarcity coming our way, and come our way soon...6 months, a year, etc.

Should be interesting to see. You very well may be right...

There's an alternate peakoil.com universe and for some reason some posters never see it.

Matthew Simmons just said "full bore over the grand canyon. Time for prayer." He's not panicking at all and you could see the abyss on his face and the gravity beginning to crack his voice.

God help us all.

Matt mentions asking a roomful of engineers from Schlumberger and the like about global decline rate, getting basically an answer north of CERA's 4.5%. Schlumberger's CEO himself said it may be in the vicinity of 8%, but if that were true I think we'd have had non-hurricane related shortages in the US this year. (Maybe we did!) Matt's big theme of transparency of data would be of immense value right around now - from CERA! Oh yeah, the Saudis too. What in God's name are we looking at?

I hope he gets somewhere with the next POTUS. Work off some of that energy illiteracy. But oh! the profits to be had from obfuscation.
