[meemoe_uk]

Oil is extremely cheap. Until costs go above $10000 a barrel, we don't need to worry about cost.
$66 a litre hey (plus taxes) . Using 8 litres to get to work and back, doesnt quite make work a viable option.
Until around $10000 a barrel in 2010 dollars, there's no reason why your income can't rise to meet the increase cost of energy costs.

and btw,

Men and animals worked fine for millions of years when oil was $infinity a barrel, and I never heard of any of them complain about the price of oil getting in the way of the absolutely necessary 30 mile drive to work.
It's only in a tiny blink of time that the absurdity of driving 30 miles to work everday is reckoned to be normal. American car manufacturers have bent your view of reality.
So you'll have to work closer to home, just like most people and animals that live today or that have ever lived througout all 3.5 billion years of life history. Most people prefer it. But there's always a few who like driving for the sake of driving. Welcome to reality... oh what a drag.

>Maybe a thousand years ago, if I wanted something to eat, I could have gone and hunted a kangaroo or something,
Looks like your screwed then. Society today is built entirely on the idea that some commuters in the 1st world travel 30 miles to work every day. If ever you do so much as a take a sleeping bag to work, let alone move into a home near work, society would collapse, and you will die.
Best burn that sleeping bag now, just in case. Don't want any nasty accidents like taking it to work.
We're counting on you. Please, burn it.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'd')oesn't matter if its false.. infact I think all prices are in a way false.. my point is that production will be capped by cartel behaviour irrespective of actual production capacity...

[mididoctors]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('meemoe_uk', '

So me and you are agreed then. No peak oil now right?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'W')hat a great method peakoilers have used for the last 100 years.
Now what was the defintion of having the same start everytime, getting the same result everytime, but expecting a different result everytime?
Madness. How fitting.

That discovery curve I first posted in 2007 has a URR of 2800 billion barrels. The red production curve assumes a steady extraction rate from 2007 onward. See the GoogleDoc linked from http://TheOilConunDrum.com for the complete analysis.
