Congratulations!

Oil Drum has been instrumental in educating me on energy issues. I'm sure I would have learned all the same via some other venue, but it would have taken a hell of a long time. Anyone who's read my comments knows I think time is of the essence. Bifurcations don't come on a schedule, and they don't care that you're life may be turned upside down by the anomaly.

The Fates willing, I and my family will find a way to get through all this and be part of what comes of it all decades from now. If so, The Oil Drum will be owed a debt of gratitude that cannot be repaid.

Kudos

...debt of gratitude that cannot be repaid.

I already owe the contributors to and the people running The Oil Drum an enormous debt of gratitude. I am working hard to share what I have learned, which I suspect is what you wanted when you started the site. So please take credit for expanding the peak oil conversation: you deserve it.

Best wishes for the coming year!
