There is no way to grow a fiat based monetary system without growing your energy source. It's amazing how people do not understand this correlation.

Of course you can. It's called efficiency.

Oil production fell by 14 % in 4 years...

It didn't even plateau...

And yet the economy kept growing.

And even if it weren't, no one is saying we won't be able to use more energy in the future than we do now. It's the liquid fuels which are peaking.

keep dreaming. The party is over dude.

In the mid nineties, the Asian currency crisis caused a huge pull back in prices. Something like that is the only temporary salvation we can look forward too. I think the snowball has gotten a little too big this time, however.

He wrote a book The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight and was featured in the film Crude Impact, and he occasionally does get into it on the radio.

But that's on AirAmerica, only libruls and faggits listen to that trash. :roll:

Thanks for the reminder

! I had forgotten that he was in Crude Impact and I remember coming across the words "The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight" but have not read it and didn't immediately associate it with this talk radio host. No wonder he seemed so familiar with the subject!

As for listeners of Air America, I'm the former of those two classes of listener, rather than the latter - not, in the words of the immortal Sienfeld, that there's anything wrong with that.

There is no need for an argument, it's too obvious. Only an ostridge couldn't see it.

With all due respect, the price measured in gold hasn't moved much:

A two-week string of record oil prices has left prognosticators at banks and brokerage firms struggling to keep pace. With crude futures trading firmly above $100 a barrel, oil economists are revising their forecasts -- up.

Quote:

(CNN) -- Gas prices rose more than 9 cents over the past two weeks, to a national average of $3.20 per gallon of self-serve regular, a survey said Sunday.

never pump more than right now"

I stumbled across an interview with David Andelman, exec ed at Forbes dot com at 7:25 PM EDT today. In the course of the four minute segment he predicted;

$300.00 bbl oil within a couple years

Oil production has peaked now

Intercontinental air travle will cease except for the very wealthy
likely to be replaced by passenger ships for the average person...

intracontenental air travle may also cease to exist and we will be back to rail or Conestoga wagon trips as oil production collapses...
