asg - " If you believe peak-oil to be a non-event, why do you continue to engage in the discussion?" I'm guessing English is your second language since you are having trouble understanding what I've elaborated on great detail many times. Simply that the DATE of global PO is of little importance. OTOH the consequences of the POD (Peak Oil Dynamic) have a tremendous impact on billions of the planet's inhabitants. And if you pay attention to EVERYTHING posted on this site by the vast majority here the DATE of PO isn't discussed much anymore...other then how many of those predictions have been wrong. OTOH the individual components of the POD are critical IMHO.
But hang in there and keep reading. In time your English comprehension will likely improve.
