This ain't the 1950's and what anyone thought, rightly or incorrectly, then has no bearing on our future. He was predicting what might happen in the US in the next few decades after he published his paper. But now, 60 years later, his work (which was truly brilliant compared to the industry mindset at the time) has no relevance to what has happened in the last 10 years let alone the future.
It's sort of like the continuous debate about the Etp model. Right? Wrong? Does it really matter: I've yet to hear how anyone is using it to make any significant changes of the energy path we're on. If a model has little or no practical utility being applied I really don't care if it's correct or not.

If you were not so thoughtless and you actually could even acknowledge your own responsibility for killing the planet, that would be a start. But you won't or can't admit that your own choices are killing the planet, because you are greedy and want more stuff that you don't actually need to live.

Yes. I have made a decision not to invest in oil. LOL.

"ETP model" does not exist.
A model has to have an object that it is modelling, and "ETP model" does not have such an object.
The only thing that "ETP model" does have, is an "output" in the form of a poor imitation of SL's rants. And why look at imitation if we have the original in abundance? Plus "ETP model" has a bunch of trolls who convert any thread into ETP shilling contest.
