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?

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

Yup, NIMBYs and global warming activists are jacking up the price of oil. "Not enough oil" is just the cover story. LOL.
