How many of these 'peak production' threads do we get! What a load of paranoia!
Posty said:Only 1 group of professionals are saying this not all, there is a big arguement among them over wether we are at the peak, i agree with the ones that say we aren't

everyones entitled to their opinion but you shouldn't state that we are at or near peak as factteaboy5 said:Its hard to tell but when you look into it you wil find we are at it or very very close. Also oil will be around for 100's of years you are correct. But not cheap oil, which is what we need. Theres no point drilling oil if no one can afford to buy it at say $300 a barrel.

It people like you that dont want to believe. You want to think in your mind that you can carry on buying big sports cars, houses and so on and never have to worry about the how its all made and what it all costs to make

Please sit down and read and the fact some day and open your eyes.

Chrisp7 said:Haha do you know me? Do you know my opinions!? I, infact have never owned a car or a house! I believe we should cut down but I am not going to believe all of this utter utter 'peak oil' nonsense. It is based on very shoddy facts, and terrible economics. And yes I have read about it, some parts are true but most are based on gross errors and huge over estimates.
teaboy5 said:All joking aside, clv whats your opinion on this did you think production will drop soon or will go up and down for a number of years and then just keep dropping.
Chrisp7 said:a) There are huuge untapped resources (bitumen in Canada, Alaskan oil, Arctic, and presently unprofitable sources that will become profitable once prices rise enough)
b) The above graph - what source is that from? A biased 'oil peak' website? Or a balanced opinion?
c) oil resources will without doubt last long enough for humankind to adapt to live without oil/less dependant.
d) We are far far less dependant on oil as we used to be - why, at the 'current highest ever oil prices' arent we effected like in the 1970's (soaring inflation, resulting in recession)? oil prices can rise well above $100 a barrel before we are anywhere near the relative price level of the 70's.
e).. I could go on.
Its all doom mongering! The predictions used to be that we would run out of oil by the year 2000, and look where we are now. At any rate I think the more pressing issue is global warming and the reduction of greenhouse gasses, THAT is the real issue.
