Funny read!

A related argument — that the “easy oil” is gone and that extraction can only become more difficult and cost-ineffective — should be recognized as vague and irrelevant.

That was the funniest line.

If I hadn't heard of Yergin I would think this hilarious article was a spoof on the arguments of cornucopian peak oil disbelievers.

The New York Times is a liberal paper with a strong pro-democratic party tilt. Its not surprising they'd push this junk......these are the same folks who blamed high oil prices last year on evil speculators, not supply shortfalls.

But how does this crap make it into a well-respected newspaper run by educated intelligent people? The editors write and edit complex sentences and paragraphs. Doesn't it mean anything that NYT staff can think, organize, edit, and perfect entire paragraphs? You would think this gives them a leg up in the brains department?

Why do they publish this crap?
