Title: Richard Heinberg - RIP Sunday July 19th 2026

Well Richard, it was a good time wasn't it? The talent that you applied to become a decent amateur violin playerg after dropping out of college because you loved that evil weed never slowed you down from delivering results. Results in the form of books on peak oil 20 years ago, making the board of directors at Resilience.Org, inspiring tens of thousands if not 100's of thousands into the lore and fascination of peak oil end times.

I stopped in to visit your office once in Sevastopol, but the office was empty that afternoon. I had been told not to, for fear it would lend credibility to your claims, but I just couldn't help myself. You were ahead of your time in proclaiming the end and advocating for a better way, and good for you having dedicated your life to such a worthy goal. I'm glad you received some level of fame for your efforts. While your technical acumen and peak oil claims were thoroughly baseless, the ideas you espoused about how to deal with AFTER oil were worthy of a great thinker.

Hopefully, in however many decades from now when peak oil finally occurs again, and for the final time, your thoughts on the "after" part will receive the attention they deserve.

RIP Richard...you instilled legions with hope for a post oil future, a better future in general. Good for you.

He died TDos, and the first thing you do is insult and discredit him.  Your insufferable trolldom is on my last nerve.  You contribute nothing here, and have never been in Sevastopol.  If you claim otherwise, you will have to prove it, and to do that you have to reveal who you are.  Which you won't do.  So go fuck yourself.  See you in five days.  You are in the cooler again.

Devastating News: The Loss of Richard Heinberg

The world has lost a voice of clear, truth-telling wisdom—a man whose work reached millions of people and fundamentally changed the lives of thousands. Perhaps that includes you. It certainly does me.

He spoke a truth few could, and can, bear.
