"When it comes to 'peak oil', we've heard from exactly two people in five years. And one of them is you."

That is funny as heck.

I'm picturing one of those doomsday meteor movies (Armageddon?) and the Congressman's staff saying over the phone: "Sorry Mr. Beederman, you're just one of two astronomers we've heard from who have spotted this big rock coming at us, and until more people spot the rock, we're just going to hang back and do nothing."

Thank you, step back,

That was how I felt. (It was funny, in a dark humor sort of way.) You have to add on the tone they used...kind of like "Do you know just how *weird* you are? Well, let me tell you!"

Yeah, you're obviously one of those "weird" people who believe that the Earth is finite and that our freedoms are to be limited by conservation of mass and conservation of energy. Now how weird is that!
