with empirically-based and non-polemic responses of course...

Absolutely fantastic!  These are exactly the types of scenarios that will put TOD on the map - albeit for better or worse.

Here is the public's perception after being cooked over by CERA:

Any questions?


The CERA study debunks the so-called Hubbert Peak Oil Theory, first espoused in 1956 by geologist M. King Hubbert. Working at the time for Shell Oil Co., he predicted that world oil production would follow a bell-shaped curve in which production grows steadily until it peaks, followed by a rapid decline.
What a maroon, that Hubbert! Why everybody knows how trees grow to the sky and then beyond even that. It's common sense.

This is totally CERA-ious stuff dude.
Apply directly to the head.
Apply directly to the CERA-bellum.

Only $1000.000 for the "full" of it report.
CERA-on dude.
Apply directly to the head.

[U]pon [CERA-ious] examination, the peak oil theory falls down because [London Bridge is falling down, falling down; and cough cough because of] of serious flaws in logic and application [and because of our prediliction for words of fancy dissertation]. CERA's view, based on two decades of research [and a super ultra top secret database], is highly unpopular in peakist circles. However, ours is not a view of unlimited resource. A plateau will occur-but not tomorrow [oh no], and supply will not "run dry" soon thereafter [or heretofore,your mileage may vary]. We hold that aboveground factors [and below-sky variables] will play the major role in dictating the end of the age of oil.
