Don’t worry, just a little bump - $70 is just around the corner. Short traders just keep making those margin calls, mortgage the house if you have to. Fortunes await you! PO is for pansies and doomers. At $70 short some more ..... it is going back to $22 .... the world is awash with oil ........ reality has nothing to do with it, its all in those charts!!!!!!!!!!

albente, cheers, and I should have said coffin nails rather than snowflakes.
I'll have drink on you, and everyone else on this choo-choo train headed towards that cliff on the strangely visible horizon.

I was in Truthout reading a few stories, everything is about oil, Iran, Russia, China. Saw an article on the Dubya team (Bush/Cheney gang). Neurons began firing up all over, googling, next thing you know I'm on Matt's site reading his stark 2 pager.
Sheesh, it hasn't even sunk in yet. Obviously. But I wish it was the day before, I really do. I feel like I've just been kicked in the stomach with a blindfold on.
Time to read on, time to develop some new skills too!

Its the funniest thing in retrospect. I had googled 'Happy News' one day cause I was getting depressed that all the news stories on my homepage, in the papers, on TV and radio were so sad and depressing. I thought lets find a nice site that promotes humanity and celebrates the good in pple. Click after click after click I ended up on the most depressing site of my life. Lifeaftertheoilcrash. I sat there and read that page for like 2 hours. I was hooked. I then followed link after link till I had also comprised this site in my newest little 'favorites' folder. Here we are today.
It seems ironic I found about this site and issue while searching for happy news. This is about as far from happy as neptune is from the sun. Maybe my opening line here was not so appropriate. But I still laugh now when I think about it.

G'day everyone.
I saw a documentary on TV about Peak Oil and it really got me thinking. I did a Google search for Peak Oil and found the site - lifeaftertheoilcrash - and I believe there was a link to this site.
Wow! I am now really concerned. What a wake up call. Its hard to believe such a problem could be on the near horizon. Why aren't we hearing more about it?
I can tell you that here in my country, we are going to be totally and utterly unprepared for the change in living dynamics resulting from an oil shortage and the discussed fallout.
Nobody here is talking about it.
I can see the challenge is going to be to truly understanding the problem and the true effects of no oil. I mean I had a good look through some of the other topics and posts and people seem to be not only talking about the topic, but actually confidently, and aggressively going about setting up sustainable living environments as if we are going to almost return to the Agrarian Age and become self-sufficient farmers and herdsmen.
I really do hope it won’t go to that extent. Will we actually loose electricity as well? How long after we loose oil will we lose power? I know that electricity has some percentage of oil in it, I think. I really don’t understand the nitty gritty of the whole problem. But I’m going to. Surely the governments must know about the problem and be preparing themselves for the potential problems.
I look forward to using this site to build my knowledge about the issue and share info with all you guys. Lets hope the problem is not as devastating as we might think.

Welcome, I hear what you are saying. What a shock.
Hang in their, keep the faith. Here I would normally say its not as bad as it seems. But in this case, it might be. But in anyevent, nothing you can do about it but get prepared as best you can. At least your aware now and thats the first step. (probably hardest step too, accepting this as a reality).From this point we are all in the same boat. Preparing and waiting for the other shoe to drop now.

i found the site after googling geopolitics, it comes up first for some reason. I'd take the mass population extinction thing with a huge grain of salt .. there's no need to start culling the human herd.

Hey, whats the point of participating on an Apocalypse board if there isn't going to be a die-off!!! We need the zombie corpses to help fertilize all these industrially farmed, depleted corn fields.
To answer the topic question... I was poking various global warming activists on usenet and this alt group showed up about debunking peak oil, so I came over here to poke them some more (policy: no sanctuary); now I'm convinced that the end is nigh, and I'd best get to planting a bunch of fruit trees this winter!

So i'm new here, from England, was doing some research into the reasons behind oil prices rising recently and stumbled across this site. Spent hours reading through posts ect.
It seems just so daunting that probably in the next 5 or so years our whole way of life is going to change and there is barely anything as a planet that we can do to stop it. Although i will be making some basic preperations.
Should hopefully get a few friends who i think would be interested in this on board the site aswell.

Like many I "lucked" upon Peak oil as well.
I was looking for hippy communes wondering what had become of the real hippies besides yuppies and I stumbled upon a forum.
Sustainability,ecovillage hmmm yes then someone said Peak oil .......godamnit!! hippies!!!
LATOC - google - LATOC - google - LATOC - google (contemplate a google LATOC conspiracy) peakoil.net oildrum aspo altavista yahoo msn ebay? peak oil was everywhere just never realized.
So once ya get to that point then you gotta seek like minded people right??? peakoil.com
This is where we attempt to reassure ourselves that we are not going crazy
I wonder if peak oil is "enough" truth in one lifetime for most people.
911 was a MIHOP!!
The federal reserve is not federal!!!
The illuminati exist!!!
<evades the first few security personel>
We are all slaves!!!
The bush family funded Hitler!!!

We attacked Iraq and Afghanistan for oil!!!
