The Beginning of the End of Oil?
Posted by Yankee on August 21, 2005 - 8:43am
Topic: Supply/Production
On Thursday, Prof. Goose told us about an extensive article in the 8/21 edition of the NY Times. Well, it's out. Peter Maass is sympathetic toward the peak oil idea. In fact, in the last sentence, Maass write, "When a crisis comes—whether in a year or 2 or 10—it will be all the more painful because we will have done little or nothing to prepare for it."This post is an open thread about the article.
