So what. It doesn't matter, imo. Peak oil could very well be a blessing in disguise. Say we do have access to a lot of cheap oil, 100x more than we thought. We will just keep motoring along, plopping walmarts down on acres of arable land and one day in the not so distant future we will have peak arable land & soon no arable land, which may happen anyways, who knows.
This comment is hilarious though
