Quote from: K-Dog on Dec 22, 2023, 10:44 AMPeak oil was a more useful concept twenty years ago than it is now.It also had folks with scientific chops involved, and back then Hubbert's overall idea still had the US on his side. Few knew it was just going to be a head fake on the way to the US becoming the world's largest producer of oil. And natural gas. And largest exporter of LNG. And a net energy exporter, which at the end of the day was just killer to internet "experts".
Quote from: K-DogWith tight oil coming along the concept of a single peak became antiquated.Turns out, tight oil was with us all along. But finding it in the history of literature wasn't what the internet wanted to push the idea, and as we all know, it can't be real if it isn't on the internet.
Quote from: K-Dog* We also made the mistake of thinking that a bell curve shaped curve is so simple an average person can understand it. In that we are wrong. Very wrong.Matthew, 7:7
"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:"
The perils of the internet echo chamber, when everyone around you is nodding and snapping up whatever is put in front of them....no one ever stops to make the most basic counter-interrogatory. "Prove it."
