Peak oil isn't fiction...it will happen but when it will happen cannot be fully nailed down. However that said...the general posturing of so called super powers does indicate that this problem is starting to make itself known!? Add to that the fact that you cannot get realistic figures out of OPEC (thats right! they don't make this stuff public!) then you can see how certain governments are trying to control Peak Oil information...There is only one single reason that you do this which is obvious to anyone with half a brain cell...
There is no broken logic...all fits well with all the known facts of today and there are no vacant assertions and "arrant nonsense". This isn't a crackpot theory...Just think about it for a moment.
1. Our entire global economy, as we know it, is reliable on oil. Pump up the prices of oil just marginally then you get wars (This is FACT!)
2. When we start to run out of oil then we will need to have other alternatives that give as much supply as demand...We haven't got any alternatives!? Oil production is throttling back (this we do know)...Those that are against peak oil actually quote figures that have yet to come into light...thats right! They are actually relying on some sort of magic wand to give them the extra demand that is required.
3. Scientists around the globe do agree that we will start to hit peak oil no latest than 2015 (except for the crazy few that think that a 10 gallon drum can actually hold infinite supplies of anything they want and that just by waiving a wand...more supplies will magically just starting filling up the drum!) You don't need to run out of oil to go into global meltdown...you only need to have around a 5% drop in supply that is not meeting the demand and voila...you will be teetering on a major stock market crash!
4. Oil won't just stop but as it begins to run out then the prices will hike and growing countries will start to feel the pinch...they will start looking for other sources of oil to bolster the economy(IRAQ) and if they can't negotiate they will take by force.
5. Think you can just switch from not using your car...wrong...because the money you save is money spent on other products that need oil to make...even bio oil needs to be farmed with tools that require oil...an there is no way that we can manage on bio oil it just won't meet the demand. In other words...we are passed the point of no return when it comes to have an economy based on oil...The only real alternative is to go nuclear which has its own problems one of which is time...there is just no way that those extra power stations are going to be online in time! So someone, somewhere is going to run out of oil in such a way that they are going to be pushed to the brink! That someone will be a super power because they are the energy consumers at the moment (I would watch CHINA and the USA). We all know why America went into IRAQ!? It was to secure the oil...whatever way they could...Thats what this war is about and if you think otherwise then you are deluding yourself and those around you...
I am sorry to say it but prettyboyredneck could not be further from the truth...
