I no longer point people to LATOC when I discuss peak oil with them. The reason is that LATOC advertises their "wares" a bit too prominently on its site and one just can't help but get the impression from the layout of the site that the author is out to make a quick buck.

I prefer to send them here or to individual articles or just let them borrow Matt Simmon's book.

LATOC needs to clean up the layout and reduce the advertising or it will be dismissed by those who are always suspicious of being taken advantage of.

look to the new site...that costs cash-money.
every dime we make on those ads, we spend on development for this site.
ergo, you have indicted yourself, not us.

Speaking of which, did you notice the Google blog ad with the heading "Peak Oil is a Charade" that leads to http://alteng.blogspot.com/.

I am sure that some of you have probably already read it - this guy is another one of those from the camp of "technology will come up with an answer".

That's the one I had mentioned elsewhere in this thread, maintained by Marshall Brain.

I don't mind the fact that there are ads on ToD. They are the same as any other site. LATOC ads are basically links to its online shoppe making it pretty damn obvious that the author is going ot benefit financially from "spreading the message". It's a huge difference.
