guardian.co.uk/environment/2010/feb/13/ ... el-problem The book is a source of data; so far it is accurate if not precisely telling the whole truth (something that isn't possible?); but I'm not done reading it yet. Leaving things out, is inevitable, knowing what was left out can lend some knowledge...

informationclearinghouse.info/article24 ... e24654.htm Anyone, That link is only relevant to this topic by way of introduction concerning much of my view on this topic, to answer a question such as: "What is that guy Joe thinking?" or "Where is that coming from?" It is an audio ...

I’ll duck your metaphorical burst of machine-gun fire for the moment Joe, and comment on a couple of things. etudiant, If wrote the above, sent it to you, what would you call it? Oil is speculated on in the market place. Futures contracts are sold that fix the price of batches of oil, based on what...

Whoa, I didn't mean to open up this can of worms. You just go on, friend. Be cool. I'm not nearly as emotionally invested in the peak oil idea as you are against it. So you win by sheer vehemence! geo, Exclamation point! I’m not arguing, what would be the point – to win something? Did I forget to r...

Oh come on! "He even wrote a book?" Yes, lets all take the good word from one book and believe it all. Suzanne (Moderator?), That quote above is an example of what is known as “hyperbole”. Here is a definition of that word: extravagant exaggeration (as “mile-high ice-cream cones”) I did n...

I don't have belief, per se, in peak oil, only an acknowledgement that it seems a plausible scenario given current and projected world energy consumption. geo, The word being used is superfluous to me, the goal is to accurately communicate, if I use the word “belief” or I use the word “assumption”,...

If food products become too expensive to transport all over the world, some items (like maybe coffee for example) may become more expensive, but we also may become more self-reliant, growing more food near cities where it is to be consumed, or even in cities. It may even be fresher. Anyone, I’m run...

No kidding it's disturbing. Suzanne, It was so disturbing to me when I first read it (The “official” false version of “Peak Oil”), that I began taking the steps to run for congress (again). I found out that the official version was as officially false as the official version of the events on 911. I...

Hey Joe, it sounds like you're working around the simplicity of the problem. geo, I have much to respond to here, falling behind, so I see a need to be very concise. Your signature reads: Question everything. When religious people knock on the door, I question the authority of the bible. I’m then n...

etudiant, Thanks; but I read very little of that link. What is the point of spreading only doom and gloom? Why not point out how the same power behind oil profits is investing that power to eliminate the competition? Why not show how the competition continues to compete despite the power being inves...
