I'm starting to think peak oil is going to be news not in a decade but in decades from now, for one thing we will just have to adjust to high prices and get rid of trucks and cars the size of houses. It makes me laugh when i see a 150 pound man inside an 8000 pound dodge ram 3500. I don't see hybrids being the answer to the energy crisis either.Just think if everybody in the united states changed in their super size truck or car in for an average 350cc motorcycle that gets 75 mpg or more. All you have to do is look at how other countries deal with high gas prices such as Europe and etc. they drive very small cars or motorcycles. Another thing changing my mind about peak oil is that oil is not the only source of fossil fuel, there is also coal,natural gas, oil sands, and etc.which are all very abundant, relying just on oil is a catastrophy waiting to happen. When there is a will there will always be a way to develop these sources of energy in combination with oil. Instead of building nuclear plants to substitute oil build them to process oil sands or coal to liquification which takes a lot of energy to convert into oil.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('sjn', '&')quot;JD" has an agenda, to "Debunk Peak Oil", it says so right in the title of his blog, do you expect to find unbiased information from somewhere with an angle to sell?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'O')il and the minds of men
Peter Foster, Financial Post
Published: Saturday, September 05, 2009

The great petroleum geologist Wallace Pratt famously said that "Oil is found in the minds of men." Discoveries depend on visionary theory, technical innovation and commitment to risky drilling. Plus luck. Peak Oil theory, by contrast -which asserts that global oil production has, or soon will, peak, and that this has powerful policy implications -- is found in the limitations of the minds of men. It is less geological theory than unevolved intellectual shortcoming, although it certainly has its political uses.

The fruits of the "greatest resource," as economist Julian Simon dubbed the human mind, appeared yet again this week with the announcement by BP that it had found a "giant" field at unprecedented depth in the Gulf of Mexico, an area that twenty years ago was regarded as played out. By contrast, the limitations and conceits that characterize Peak Oil were nicely summed up by a report on BP's find in the leftist British newspaper, The Guardian.

According to that report, BP's Tiber well, and another recent huge find in Iran, "have encouraged skeptics of theories which say that peak production has been reached, or soon will be, to hail a new golden age of exploration and supply."

Note how the use of the term "skeptics" suggests that Peak Oil is the mainstream view, which it is not.

80 dollars a barrel, world economy stumbling, oil market is very fragile and oil is supplied by number of countries . Well, if there is oil somewhere, get out and extract it for God's sake
