3 Peak Oil Bombs Drop
Three bombs were dropped on the peak oil community this week, in what smells like a coordinated attack timed to incite public uncertainty about the validity of the peak oil argument, and question the importance of mitigating climate change and transitioning to renewables.
The peakers are mobilizing a response, an onerous task made necessary only because their critics’ bombs received prominent placement in major publications with large readerships, not because their critiques had any serious validity.
I will leave it to the capable hands of authentic petroleum geology experts to debunk the latest critiques. It is in order, however, to give the public a brief look at who these critics are, and their abysmal track records, which I have tracked and debunked since 1996.
