By "could have been written by me" I was referring to sharing the ideas expressed in the post- not the writing skill

Of course you are remembered. Welcome back to the fray. This virus has brought out a few past posters.
Good to see the old avatars once again.
Maybe we should call it the Cracker Barrel, where the old codgers get to sit and pontificate?
Look up few poster REAL Green, he is doing something similar.

Yep. peak oil dynamic isn't peak oil.

Actually no.
The word "eschatology" implies that peak oil is part of a religious doctrine. Thats a very wrong-headed way to look at it.
Perhaps Peak Oil is part of your religion but as originally defined by scientists like Dr. Hubbert the concept of peak oil is a scientific theory. Dr. Hubbert developed a mathematical model called Hubbert linearization that claimed to predict exactly when peak oil would occur, but that model has since been falsified.
However the falsification of Hubbert's mathematical model purporting to predict the timing of peak oil doesn't disprove the theory of peak oil any more then Galileo's original miscalculation of the exact acceleration due to gravity disproves the theory of gravity.
Cheers!

If that oil was really so expensive then it would have translated into retail prices. The fracking industry isn't drilling in order to sell oil below cost. So you're wrong.
