That's got to be one of the more fanciful statements I've ever read on TOD. I visited JD's site a few times. He is so far off on so much it was a bit like trying to have a discussion with a schizophrenic. (I've worked with such people as a counselor, so have some insight.) I didn't spend much time there.
Now, how was that for using your fine example of the straw man with zero supporting evidence?
STAFF: what is with the epidemic of insulting naysayers of late?
Cheers
It's interesting you would think that someone who runs a "Peak Oil Debunked" website would have much credibility on TOD (JD runs http://peakoildebunked.blogspot.com/ for those who don't know).
Latest statement from JD

And led the world to the edge of a vast abyss"
