frequent critique of those who claim we still have enormous stocks of resources left to exploit is that the flow or rate of extraction is far more important to the health of the world economy than the size of the stocks. If we can’t get it out of the ground at the rate we’d like to, then that is the key restraint. Hence the concern about peak production of resources such as oil, natural gas, coal, phosphorus, and even gold.
It occurred to me that this argument might be due in part to differences in personality, but also to flaws in one’s understanding of how the world actually works…
