When I see someone post here indicating that they believe is Peak Oil is a pile of cow cookies, I smile, a greedy smile! I smile knowing one less sap is going to be around that I will have to worry about feeding, keeping, and maintaining socially. More room for me, my family, and their family!
All I can say is "thank you for thinking PO is BS!"
PeakOil is You

I said it's BS "for now". Amazing how hysterical people get when you question their PO religion. People were pointing to $147. oil as proof of imminent PO. The dollar index was ~72 in July; it's ~82 now so yes it is stronger because as bad as the US economy is the rest of the world is worse. That will probably continue to be the case at least throughout 2009.
Obviously PO will occur at some point but betting on it is a fool's bet as I've discovered. The imminent demise of civilization has been greatly exaggerated. At this point judging by the markets and oil reserves throughout the world the PO doomers like Simmons, Heinberg and Kunstler and my investment adviser have been proven wrong and the debunkers like the oil sheik who said, "PO is a myth" have been proven right.
Who knows what will happen in the future but it's a waste of time obsessing about it. You're just as likely to be done in by a falling icicle as PO. If you want to live in a mobile in the desert with your shotgun and Rottweiler waiting for "the big one" be my guest but I've gotten quite fond of my petroleum based products and plan to enjoy them as long as possible.

Geodesic, I was on the PO bandwagon early 2005, almost 3 years before oil was $148.00 a barrel. Some others here have been PO aware since the 70's.

I'd happy being either right and prepared or wrong and a fool. Either way I win. I can live with "fool." I won't live if I don't plan and prepare and things go south.

Which simply proves you're not one of the hundreds of thousands of Americans homeless, broke, or living outdoors, and not one of the millions of people in the world without a job or a means to survive. For them, their civilization is already at the state of demise. Eventually the MSM will find it unable to ignore the growing numbers. Sad but true.

If you can find me one published piece either on the Internet or the real world that with causality proves it either way, show it to me. We're not idiots here, we already know the answer to that one, but you're a New Guy here, will give you the chance to make your case.

I think the only person obsessing here is you with your passion to convince us not to do anything about the future. That's obsessive.

Which is why I make it a point to "prep" by walking around hanging icicles and not going on tour groups to underground caves. It's worked so far. I am "icicle free since 1973."
