DesuMaiden wrote:The bottom line is simple: every conspiracy theory regarding peak oil is probably false. Like most conspiracy theories, these conspiracy theories have been debunked. I don't understand why anyone would believe that the government is hiding a magical alternative to oil that will solve our problems. If the government actually possessed an alternative to oil that 100% replaced oil and was, in fact, even more potent than oil, they wouldn't be waiting until it is too late to change our infrastructure to this alternative energy source. The government would be implementing these alternative energy source(s) right now.

I don't believe there is an alternative to oil that will fully replace oil until I see the evidence for it. I would like to see Youtube videos of this alternative energy in its prototype stages of development.

There are many (perhaps most) on this forum who believe that Evil Wall-Street Speculators and Corporations (rather than the good ole' free market) sent a barrel of crude oil from $20-$30 up to $147/barrel in a few short years. And then kept it above $100 for another half-decade. (and where it will perhaps return until demand destruction once again craters the world economy)
Jeezus those guys must be exhausted. Hiding out like that (where? mama's basement maybe?) and constantly checking their buddies and playing with the markets. Tiring.
