We will get to a real peak oil (or perhaps peak demand) some day but not this decade.
The real peak oil was in 2007~8 as predicted.....
What about the predicted one in 1990 and 1995? And 2002? And 2005? And 2006? Gee....seems like someone is being awful choosey about one prediction or another, when the current peak oil is 2018, and was indeed a peak oil. Folks that can't build cars probably can't understand numbers and all either maybe?

I've been roaming across 3/4's of the L48 going on my second week now. Roads are in pretty good shape (NY has some crappy ones though, but VT was pretty decent), all the bridges worked including some big ones into and out of NYC, crossing the Mississippi and Missouri, etc etc.
As the world's largest producer of crude oil and natural gas, obviously we have plenty, more than your pipsqueak oil and gas production anyway. I think a single formation in the Appalachian basin makes more natural gas than your country after how many decades now have you been trying to learn how to produce natural gas? Sounds like you need to hire some Merikans to teach you what exceptionalism looks like when it comes to results.
After we build your submarines for you of course, folks living on an island not apparntly knowing much about boats and water and buoyancy and stuff.
