Resource Curse Losers In The Post Peak Oil World?

[cronus]

This particular tsunami has been out a long, long time.

I will not make a prediction, though. As the saying goes, "predictions are difficult, especially about the future."

I could give a long, long list of disaster predictions that proved wrong.

I've not been a doom-monger about peak oil in years, give me a chance to check where the other peak-oil doom-mongers are at and I'll give you some numbers.

I don't see the problem.

What goes down fast in price sometimes goes up again even faster in price. It is like when the cash machine spews out free money after you put your card in. It is never free in the end.

Obviously oil is a finite resource. At some stage, we will see peak oil. My skepticism is of those people who predict a specific date. Scientific American predicted it would be in 2013. Then we had the massive amounts of shale gas suddenly come available. Anyone else who tries to tell me that peak oil will happen soon, my response is : "yeah, yeah, yeah!"
