History is full of "experts" wrong predictions. Didn't you know that?
Of course. This is peakoil.com, many have been used at sources during all the claimed peak oils of the past 30 years.
Pick your experts carefully!!

And peak oil around 1900, 1919, 1943, 1950, 1970, etc etc and so on and so forth.
However, when given a choice between an informed opinion, and just some random poster who "believes" something, well, Harold Camping much?

Indeed. And all the peak oil suckers learned it right here at this very website!
So, are you a firm believer in faith based knowledge, rather than informed knowledge? And how much informed works for you...keeping in mind the Dunning-Kruger effect of course.
