I still believe in the concept of peak oil (and peak coal, and peak biodiversity, and peak anything that is available as a 'resource' on our single home planet). I've never really expected these things to be imminent, but I have children and a grandchild, and you can't convince me these won't be growing issues in their lives.
Anyway, there has been a huge change in this site since the death of the oil drum site. Almost every forum post and almost every news post now devolve into rants and public personalized vendettas among a handful of posters, and there seems to be no effective moderation or enforcement of civility. In other words...it's reflective of what is becoming perfectly acceptable everywhere except face-to-face: ugly behavior.
I don't need or want that. I wanted a forum of like-minded indviduals concerned with resource depletion and the future. That's definitely no longer the case for this site, and I don't, as a member, don't see much of reason to surf over here anymore.
Anyway, that's my thoughts on "where is everybody". We've left.
