Peak oil is a lie and a scam
Note: This lens was published when oil was $ 145 - now that we see it dropping like a rock it is obvious that peak oil has not arrived or it would have kept rising. Peak oil freaks - BUSTED - read the truth that follows.
Peak oil is for hippies that want to scare you !
Do you remember waste not want not ?
This is one I believe in also - so why we are not working on discovering renewable energy sources boggles my mind. However there is one thing I hate even worse than being wasteful.
Liars who inspire fear to move forward their own agenda.
People who would like no one living in a city and everyone back on a 60's - full of love for anyone commune. So they flame the fears about oil running out just so they can advance their theories and end up enriching some commodities traders on Wall Street because everyone thinks the sky is falling.
So the following facts are hardly heard:
Multi millionaire Richard Rainwater has sold off most of his oil investments.
George Soros call this oil phenomena a market bubble.
Mr Golberg from KIPLINGER.COM says that investors should TRIM their oil investments.
So if we were in the midst of apeak oil boom in prices why would these incredible investors all be saying that this is a bubble that will end and not be going and staying up.
Yes I understand that the oil in the world is finite as is the brains of people who will not let us get to much of our own oil. So they leave the offshore oil exploration to other coutries who care even less about the environment and the havoc their drilling does.
As much as I wish we had not spend a penny on this crazy war in Iraq and instead invested the money in renewable energy sources creating fear is not the answer. Fear creates more havoc in the financial markets which raises the price of not only oil but also FOOD. So some poor person in a third world country should pay more for his bowl of rice simply to advance a liberal agenda ? That does not sound fair to me.
Peak Oil can be sexy ?
Just because she is cute does not make her correct
Peak Poil Vids
Peak Oil ( dare I say liberal agenda ? )
Peak Oil - who is telling the truth ?
Liberal agenda or current reality - tell me your opinion straight up !

This is a curious lens. It claims to be about Peak Oil, but should be called I Don't Like Hippies. Posted September 24, 2008 |

It sounds like you don't like hippies. Is that your label for anyone you do not agree with? Or is a road sign saying there is a bump ahead a "Hippie" sign? I am far from a hippie but I know people you would call hippies and they know a bigot when they see one. Posted July 31, 2008 |

Peak oil is a scam; a reason to overtax through high gas prices to control the American citizens so that we become desperate and ask for government handouts... to further promote the absurd global warming agenda. Maybe the liberals would prefer that we live an third world economy, to "feel better" about the "damage" we greedy Americans have done. If America goes down, we will be hurting the global economy to a point of devastation. Americans are the most generous citizens of the world. We do not deserve to be treated like this, and our representatives in Washington had better wake up and listen to us NOW! a> Posted July 06, 2008 |

It sounds like you have not carefully studied the information out there. Matthew Simmons, Richard Heinberg, Kenneth Deffeyes, to name a few - these are anything but hippy liberals. They all see the peak as already here, and they were deeply informed oil field engineers and other hands-on experts. Matthew advises international financial institutions and is a buttoned-down financial expert. In any case, read some books, talk to experts. Last: the drilling may give about two years (roughly) of additional oil, starting in 10 years. More important, as I think you said, is developing renewable sources as soon as reasonably possible.

Run the sky is falling and peak oil is happening now !
Surviving Post Peak Oil Civilization - What to Do If the Worst Happens
By Paul Klein
Back in 1956 a Shell geoscientist M. King Hubbert predicted that America would peak in terms of oil production between 1965 and 1970. He turned out to be correct. It was also predicted that global production would peak shortly after the New Millennium. This may or may not have happened, what is known is that global production has been declining since December 2005. At the same time global demand has been increasing.
Some commentators suggest that the global economy will collapse rapidly after Peak Oil is reached. A minority of those also suggest that modern civilization as we know it will also be seriously effected with the potential collapse of the western world's infrastructure. Some quote a time scale of just a few years after Peak Oil for this to happen. If this is the case what is the best way to survive into the 2010's?
ONE: MOVE
If you live in a city or a town you need to move. Even if you live in a large village you need to consider relocating. The reason for this is that there is going to be a lot of competition for scarce resources. If society does break down then large conurbations are going to be the worst place to be. You need to set your sites on a farmstead or croft where you have sufficient defendable land to grow your own produce for you and your family. If you can find an island somewhere so much the better.
TWO: STOCKPILE
You might wish to consider stockpiling as much medicine, tools, equipment, clothing, weaponry and the like. If civilization does collapse then it will be hard to come by most things that we take for granted. When selecting grains make sure that you select suitable ones that can produce viable seeds for future crops and are not dependent on a vast array of chemical fertilizers and insecticide. Also make sure that you do not tell people what you are doing - if you do this then you may become a target for raids.
THREE: LEARN NEW SKILLS
Most people wont have the skills or knowledge to undertake providing for themselves from the land. Learn as many skills as possible that might assist you. You might want to consider learning agricultural or animal husbandry skills.
FOUR: CREATE A LIBRARY
Information may be hard to come by. The internet will not exist if the country's infrastructure collapses. Get relevant reference books on every subject that might be of use.
FIVE: CONSIDER CREATING A SMALL COLLECTIVE
If you are aware of other people who are thinking along the same lines as you consider forming a collective where each of you undertakes to carry out or learn certain tasks or skills. This way you can help each other and yourself at the same time.
Hopefully Peak Oil has not occurred and will not occur for another couple of decades which will allow countries to reduce or even eliminate the need for oil based products such as petrol or heating oil. However if it has happened it would be worthwhile closely monitoring the situation and being prepared to act should the circumstances dictate.
