The Oil Drum

Chimp,

Well, actually, the post I was thinking of must have been from some where else, as it was at least 4 or 5 months ago.....that's why I didn't reference the source, because I couldn't possibly remember it (it was from something with an "out of the wilderness or preparing for peak type title", but was not nearly as recent as the one your referencing.
(and no b.s., what would it gain me by not saying it if the post your referencing was the one, I could care less exactly where I first read the post....I am certain there are now many similiar cases out there...

And I do not have time at this moment to read the whole string, but you provided the link, so yes, anyone can reference the one at www.peakstore, and see what they think of the advice given, from the quick scan I did it didn't look bad...

Another source for and showing some of the reactions of folks to what they read and see on the web is http://www.peakoilblues.com
sometimes the traffic is light, but some of the archived stories, which sound very sincere are pretty informative of the power the peak movement has over peoples perceptions, and sometimes emotions.

My post at the front of this string was not intended "to find fault", but just to remind folks that the "science" of peak oil, such as it is and the perceptions that can be created and scenarios that can be visualized are two diffferent things....I am convinced that peak oil will occur (I don't know when, it may already be behind us and we are on downside, or it may be a decade plus out in front) but that many of the scenarios seen in many books and on many websites are pure conjecture, some very, very fanciful based on the numbers given even by "peak authorities" such as Campbell, ASPO and others.

And hey, I would be fool to take a chimp who can drive on in an intellectual contest, I know to pick my fights more carefully than that! :-)
