Are you with Bill W, or going it alone md
The 'peak oil' story is not over by any means. Fracking was a desperate and ruinous sort of pause, which has been used to crank up demand.

Good to see you posting again, far too many have been lost in the past few years.

Looks like a two year check in.
Sadly, this site is not longer at the top of google search.

still on the first page

Yeah, participation is a little slow. A number of posters have moved on.

With the way he news cycle works it is very hard to retain the publics interest.

It probably does not help that from our public face our range of interest is pretty narrow, even though we range widely here.

The site would likely do better if called "Resource Depletion" of something ofbroader focus.

3/4 of it is probably the fact that the original crew got tired of thrashing over the same subjects, year in year out, with no conclusive progress one way or another. Most people just want to live a normal life and are willing to go along with whatever their governments hand them. Very few push back, either publicly or privately, a simple look at personal debt levels proves that. After the warning of the Great Recession (GFC everywhere else in the world), you would think the average person would have reined in their consumptive habits and thought of the future? But oh no, CC Vehicle, student loan and all other debt just ballooned.

That's why no one is here. They don't want to 'hear' to message that things in the world are not as rosy as they would like to believe. It's actually a total setup, a global debt prison at this point. Once the rug is pulled the masses will do whatever they are told if they are promised some form of financial relief. They will sacrifice national sovereignty for a global currency, global government, global central banking system run by the big commercial banks.

We saw the trial case of this play out across Europe with the EU system. That unelected body passes laws and statutes and enforces compliance at the end of a cheque book. It's proved the point that once you control the money flows you control the nations. careinke believes his bitcoin will save him but just like my gold it has to be first converted into local currency before it can buy food. All these measures do is protect our wealth from the collapse of stock markets and bank bail-ins.

These are the real issues of our times I believe, not whether oil production is up or down or whether solar panels are a viable transition from coal. That was all interesting 2 decades ago but the exam papers have been graded and we've moved on. Unfortunately no one got the memo.
