Unread postby ralfy » Wed 06 Feb 2013, 21:20:56

"In this post, Antonio Turiel examines the perspectives of oil production in light of some often neglected parameters: the energy density, the energy yield (EROEI), and realistic estimates of new discoveries. As expected, the result are far from supporting the optimism that seems to be prevalent today."

Thanks Ralphie. I spent some time going through the article yesterday.

Good to see the EIA get some flack over their very optimistic numbers for future energy production. 8)
