You never admit your failures, which is just about every post you make.

You are projecting. But this is an interesting point...not how sensitive you are to being wrong, which is not uncommon in uneducated people, but how RIGHT you are!

My most YUGELY professional failure was devastating! And led to the greatest professional accomplishment of my scientific career when I decided to figure out WHY I was wrong. I SPECIALIZE in being wrong....until I am not....and then CSIRO asks me to teach them what I learned.

Last month, China imported a total of 38.73 million metric tons of coal, compared to 41.38 million tons in imports in the same month of 2024, per data from the General Administration of Customs cited by Reuters on Monday.

Globally, China is the leader in renewable energy capacity installations, but it is also a leader in coal-fired power and continues to be the key driver of record-high global coal demand. Thermal power generation, which is overwhelmingly dominated by coal, rose by 1.5% in 2024 from a year earlier, to a record high of 6.34 trillion kilowatt-hours (kWh), data from China’s National Bureau of Statistics showed.

The persistent growth in Chinese coal demand, including for power generation, goes to show that coal remains the baseload of China’s power system to back up the surge in renewables and will stay such for years to come as power demand jumps with the increasing electrification of homes and transport.

So China is using some renewables, but coal is still the source of choice. Why? It's cheap of course, and reliable. It doesn't rely on the wind or the sun. Do we remember all those chinese ghost cities? They are still out there in the desert, still abandoned and crumbling due to shoddy workmanship. China's build-out of renewables means nothing in the light of that. They have proven they don't mind wasting billions on white elephants.

'This Is Not About Tariffs': Ray Dalio Fears "Something Worse Than A Recession"

The founder of the world's largest hedge fund, Bridgewater Associates, said in an interview with NBC’s Meet the Press that the foundation of the American economy - the "monetary order" — is under threat. "We have a breaking down of the monetary order. We are going to change the monetary order because we cannot spend the amounts of money. So we have that problem.

We are having profound changes in our domestic order... And we're having profound changes in the world order. Such times are very much like the 1930s."

You think so Ray? People here on peakoil.com have been saying that for years. Of course there is a depression coming, there is always a depression after the stock market goes totally insane and once debt levels become unsustainable. Last time it cost the peoples of the advanced nations there Gold coinage as it was taken by governments so that they could still balance trade while the world burned. This time it will be bank accounts and Adam's pension that will be confiscated. Oh I wouldn't have 2 bob in the pension system or the paper markets at this juncture in history.

It's just too bad all the cheap oil is gone. It will be back to horses, ox and plow on many small farms. If they can find the animals? Chicken coops will be no problem, just wind down the windows on the cars and fit mesh. The chickens can roost on the seat backs and parcel shelf, the dominant one on the steering wheel. Find that hard to believe? People never imagined this either

How would you know? You don't know the difference between real and nominal to be even able to get someone on line to tell you what cheap is.

Found "conventional" oil off a list of global benchmarks yet? Yeah...I didn't think so. A child could pick things from a list if they knew what those things were....what's that make you? Australian.

The cost of living in Boulder, Colorado is significantly higher than the national average, with some estimates suggesting it's 41.3% higher. Housing costs are a major contributor to this, with median rents ranging from $1,530 for a one-bedroom to $1,909 for a two-bedroom

Too bad you aren't making the money you once did hey adam. Of course as PeakOil plays out, as we head down the other side of the bell curve, it's only going to get worse. While you have been spruking the Lies of the IEA and all the other mouthpieces saying that there was no definitive Peakoil, the smart people have moved out of the cities, when rural property was still cheap. You missed the window I'm afraid, not that your wife would have allowed you to, She who must be obeyed and all that. Women like to be near shops

There are lots of pitfalls in this life adam and you seem to have fallen into all of them

Rural Areas Saw Disproportionate Home Price Growth During the Pandemic
https://www.jchs.harvard.edu/blog/rural ... g-pandemic

I won't skite about what I paid, pre-pandemic, but the home value today is astronomical! Everyone with half a brain is wanting to move out from the cities, away from the crime, the immigrants, the government over-watch.

The trend is your friend as they say and anyone who took onboard the message of PeakOil could have seen this coming a mile away. The rest, the deniers, well you have to just suffer it out now. Don't worry Adam, there is plenty of oil to enrich the nation, always another peak hey

Don't know what you are talking about. I make far more than I once did. And it has always been pricy here in Colorado, Denver when I moved here in the last century was the most expensive non-coastal city in the US. Probably still is

I recommend having a brain and knowing how to use it, people will pay you well. I would suggest you give it a try, but unless you can find a donor, you are out of luck.

Of course as PeakOil plays out, as we head down the other side of the bell curve, it's only going to get worse.

7 years after peak oil now....and if blowhards still populate the internet and aren't fighting for scraps from their Chinese mining masters, it can't be that bad where you are. Certainly there is nothing different going on in suburbia in Colorado.

While you have been spruking the Lies of the IEA and all the other mouthpieces saying that there was no definitive Peakoil..

Or the uneducated liars pretending that is what they said....in the same vein as folks saying peak oil was 2015. 2010.2008.2005.2003.1998.1990. 1979.1950. 1943. 1919.

All those peak oil liars, and now we've got lucky who doesn't even know it happened years ago, and it is so BAD that it hasn't slowed his liquid fuel burning habits down by a second.

Give me a price for "conventional" oil and we can talk.

I have, for russian conventional. Go re-read my posts.

Peak oil happened 7 years ago. No denying that one, #6 of this century claimed or occurred.

Facts be facts. Click here. Select "World". Go to "Crude Oil and Lease Condensate" and scroll back and forth. So easy a middle schooler could figure it out.

But a so called educated man can't discern the difference between Oil (petroleum), and "Petroleum and other liquids". You don't run tractors and cars on "other liquids" adam, you make billions of plastic bags with them.

You let other people do your thinking for you and they have filled your head with shit. The iea is a politically captured organization that will manipulate the statistics and tell the world whatever it needs to keep the wheels of corporate profit turning. Do you believe the unemployment figures? Did you believe it when you were told debt doesn't matter? Did you believe Biden when he told you he was going to transform America with the Inflation reduction act? I know you did, you and that npc kub were raving about the Federal EV charger build out (that never happened)

There is no point in talking to you adam, your just a bag of shit, full of all the lies the world spins. You never admit your failures, which is just about every post you make. Why would I want to talk to you? I talk "at you" from time to time, that's it. Now go dig up some more kangaroo pictures, I won't be uncovering any of your posts again for a while.

The Inflation Reduction Act, signed by President Biden in 2022, aims to reduce the federal budget deficit, lower prescription drug prices, and invest in clean energy. It represents the largest investment in climate change initiatives in U.S. history, with significant funding for renewable energy and healthcare reforms.

And half the allocated money was no doubt siphoned off to help pay the one Trillion interest debt the US government incurs every year now. One day they won't be able to make those interest payments, then you'll see some serious shit come down.

Armie! Still denying evolution because DOZ WHALES...DAY B BIGS!!!

Hopefully the horrors of peak oil 7 years ago now have been treating you well? Or alternatively your father in laws largesse continues to extend through his daughter to you? Any traveling, cruises, anything interesting in the horrors of the present that peak oil has wrought? Hopefully you still have fuel for your four wheelers and luxury cages and whatnot.

The rest of the US is rolling in the stuff, but you were pretty fierce in defense of that peak oil...although I think you were suckered in 2005...it must be AMMAAAZZZAAAAAZZZAAAAZZZING!!! that 2 decades later fuel is available for gas powered toys. Enjoy!

Maybe you can convince the wife to take a vacation down under and visit with Lucky? Take a metal detector, Lucky is still looking for some of his PM stash he buried in the yard and hasn't been able to find.
