    Because that's the kind of falsification Faux Newz does.  This is current newz, not old newz.

    Well, yes it would be falsification, pretending it was just made, but no it isn't old news. It is the same news your reference makes, only instead of some small time CEO from a company with a billion or two barrels of oil equivalent on the books, the video I provided has like the Iranian oil minister selling the same idea, with credibility of 100X 1000X more oil to back up his credibility.

    So yes, it is the same news, with a far more credible source, but yes it is irrelevant that the news is the same and close to 20 years old, the readers will never notice. They never noticed all the other times, (let alone one of the first in 1886 from J.P. Lesley, a man of far more credibility at that time in terms of oil globally than about anyone else) resembling nothing so much as a proverbial anterograde amnesia patient, and each of these pronouncements can invigorate them anew. Think of it as a public service, getting the word out 6 years after the last global peak oil in 2018 so when the worm finally starts to turn (i.e. people notice peak oil in some way and begin looking around for someone to blame), the world will be just that much more ready.

    No, it's not the same news, because it's a conclusion drawn from the current conditions, not the conditions as they were 20 years ago.  Those conclusions were drawn before the fracking and tight oil plays were added to the supply.  They are no longer present to add to the supply again, at least not in that kind of quantity.  Different starting conditions change the situation, so you are comparing apples to oranges.  Or better, an apple tree with some apples left to an apple tree that has been picked for 20 years.
