where are the peak oil debunkers?

here is enough oil in the destin dome to supply america for 20 years. the epa put this shallow water oil off limits. i remember the 70s. houston lost millions of jobs with the stroke of jimmy carters pen.

As you can see from a couple of answers here, many people are in denial. The US is 40 years past its peak, yet some still refuse to believe peak oil has happened, simply because oil is still coming out of the ground. Newsflash folks: oil will be coming out of the ground in five decades and may even be extractable in five centuries, but that doesn't mean peak oil hasn't happened.

In answer to your question, the peak oil debunkers are becoming a rare breed. But there are still some of them about. Usually you can find them extolling the virtues of shale oil and tar sands, or claiming that new technologies will come to our rescue.

People tend to fail in realizing that the peak - isn't so much the amount of oil remaining in the ground, but the RATE at which you can get it out and to market - and the increasing economic cost of doing such budd.

Uh...my son happens to work the oil fields. He and his crew service 40-50 wells. In Texas. We're far from "peak oil".

i cant wait for peak oil!

maybe people will stop driving around all the time and there will be less traffic.
