Ten-billion people also getting wealthier and using more resources is numbing.<br /><br />But nobody gives up their privledges easily, and I am not quiltless in this regard.russell1200https://www.blogger.com/profile/16258915475311426433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2216751897705338056.post-50862310175760566272012-06-29T07:57:01.566-04:002012-06-29T07:57:01.566-04:00Bellies full and their minds empty.
It is only ...Bellies full and their minds empty. <br /><br /> It is only logical (peak and pricing.) That's what amazes me the most I think.. that many see it as an unlimited source.. (if they give it any thought at all) or their go-to solution is electric. Worse.. the total lack of awareness of just how deeply everything we do, create, grow, medical, etc. is dependent on oil.<br /><br /> It's like trying to explain the world is round.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17159095601570766616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2216751897705338056.post-11253053259587883892012-06-26T11:48:25.871-04:002012-06-26T11:48:25.871-04:00JW: Most of the original peak-oil scoffers were on...JW: Most of the original peak-oil scoffers were on the right. They simply blamed the Democrats for not allowing free reign on drilling, and now a free reign on hydaulic fracking, tar sands, etc.<br /><br />Now I have noticed that some of the Democratic sources have realized that peak oil cuts into their environmental argument, and even more so argues against standard redistributionist policies.<br /><br />If our current weather continues, presumably Global Warming will be next up for the bi-partizan denial.russell1200https://www.blogger.com/profile/16258915475311426433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2216751897705338056.post-43229855543018434472012-06-26T07:50:04.569-04:002012-06-26T07:50:04.569-04:00Yeah, I'm seeing more and more of these straw-...Yeah, I'm seeing more and more of these straw-man arguments where they claim peak oil is something it's not and then argue against it, all the time supporting what peak oil really is.<br /><br />I think we are reaching a peak on "peak oil denial". We are rapidly approaching the point where people can't afford to buy oil at a price where producers can afford to produce it.<br /><br />Unfortunately once the peak in oil is undeniably past, it will almost completely be too late to do anything about it.John D.
