Peak Freaks

Poster’s Comments: A critique of Peak Oil Catastrophists and Optimists who have banded together.

If Peak Oil theory is now mainstream, discussed on the front page of USA Today and in Chevron and BP ad campaigns, then Petrocollapse is a secular, left-wing, non-fiction version of Tim LaHaye’s Christian Apocalyptic “Left Behind” series….

If the Petrocollapse conference was dominated by conspiracy theorists, then “Winning the Oil Endgame” was the Conspiracy. Present on the dais were former CIA director James Woolsey, Mississippi Governor and former Republican National Committee Chairman Haley Barbour, former Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Robert Altman and Amory Lovins, CEO of the Rocky Mountain Institute.

Far from doom and gloom, the Endgame speakers were nearly united in their belief that it was both possible and desirable to keep finding fixes for America’s energy jones and to keep the American consumer machine rolling along using new technologies.
