Here here Rembrandt,

These are some of the best articles on TOD.
Your graphs are a key indicator to geo-political events.
It is amazing how much your work has been analogous to the work of Walter Youngquist and how it appears that we are headed toward a significant slide (or cliff) right about NOW.
Mr Youngquists' models, of course, being predicated upon the total consumption of net energy per capita - the notorious Olduvai 'slide'.
Something we Americans are finally starting to feel in our painfully truncated consumption of fossil fuels.

Is it by coincidence that tensions in the Persian Gulf seem to be at the breaking point?
At the very same time world oil production (CC + liquids) is at a precarious plateau?!

Coincidence is not a kosher word.....your graphs are worth a thousand words.

I neglected to mention the time frame of Walter Youngquists' predicted slide in net energy consumption per capita -

2000 through 2012!

Seems to be fairly corporeal.
