That is what was said about 2008 as well, 3 years after the 2005 peak oil. Or was it 2005? After folks called peak oil in 2000? Or was it 1998, after Hubbert had called peak in 1995? It is all so confusing, people playing kick the can.
So the only real question left is how many more peaks, or decades, before the sine wave of oil production model runs out of yet more resources to create the next wave and peak of production? 2? 4?
Not looking good for peak oil in your lifetime Revi. Thought about that move to places with better economic potential than dying rural Maine? Texas looking pretty good for those old joints, plus the lucrative side of things with an experienced teacher such as yourself, helping stomp out evolution in the curricula?
