You appear to have presumed it was built for public consumption. What a quaint idea. As far as being a legend...the folks that asked me to tackle this project never asked Colin or Jean to tackle the problem, or Ugo, or Gail, or Art, or Nate or Simone or anyone you've ever interviewed.

I was sitting there with a nice lady from the Sloan Foundation after a conference in DC, neither of us were speaking, just participating on panels and whatnot. She speaks 3 languages, has 2 PhDs, a native Russian who had migrated west during her career. She was waiting for a flight and I was waiting for a ride, so we were just hanging out. 

We had bumped into each other before, she had seen my presentations at various conferences during the early shale years, I had asked her to review my publications as a technical reviewer on at least 3 occasions, etc etc.


She had bumped into me at other national conferences and was intrigued by the various topics I had presented  and published on, particularly the heavy tilt towards practical applications. I was telling idle jokes based on my online experience among peakers, she was familiar with the type and we had a giggle fest with what we had learned about them. She had a project that needed done and the money to make it happen.

Yes, of course.  Your world shattering "solution" to one of the most vexing problems facing humanity remains hidden on some TOP SECRET, air-gapped computer 40 floors below ground in a safe with 3 meter thick depleted uranium walls available only to a select few corporate executives protected from search engine spiders.

If there REALLY was a solution to Peak Oil, it would be published in a major peer reviewed journal and picked up afterward by Scientific American for popular reading.  It would be subject to at least SOME discussion and review on the Peak Oil discussion forums.

When some anonymous Troll on a nearly invisible website claims he solved Peak Oil, why on earth would anyone believe him? 🙄

Nope. But when my model was integrated with others, it was interesting to learn and watch. Plus the gig paid well.

Nope. It went into action,and core components of it were used for years, I was occasionally asked to consult. I think the project was finally shut down a year or so ago. Ran on local servers, in Python, I've got a copy of my work leftover from the development days.

Talking to you about me made me go check my backups to see if I still have it. I could probably ask permission to publish, but peak oil happened like in 2018 and no one even talks about it anymore. Plus it work better with an integrated socio-economic engine, as opposed to just generating probability answers based on custom scenarios.

Been there. Done that. Not this work. I only wrote up a single result, it is in the public eye, but it wasn't oriented on peak oil at all. Once integrated within a larger ecoonomic context it was great for full socio-economic scenarios, regional or global, but no one gave a shit about the peak oil potential except me. I ran so many scenarios through the thing I can't even remember them all now.

Sure. This one. The others are dead except for peakoil.com

Facts don't require your belief. They just are. You are free to discount every word I say, as you always have. Previously when I mentioned Sun Tzu, you missed the point I was making entirely. I want you to just keep right on being comfortable with what you think you know. In your absolute certainty in yourself is my anonymity. 

Facts don't require belief, but they do need to be present.  There are no facts here, only your CLAIM that you solved Peak Oil.

The only thing I found on your link to PeakOil.com related to Peak Oil was a link to an article on OilPice.com by David Messler titled Why the IEA is Wrong About Peak Oil Demand.  A pretty good review of the estimates from the IEA and OPEC and the continuing dependence on oil to maintain and grow GDP.  Sadly, it doesn't provide a solution to Peak Oil.

Feel free to keep pimping yourself and blowing your own horn, although when you make claims like you solved Peak Oil you need to be able to back it up or you'll spend some time in the cooler contemplating your personality deficiencies.

What the right gets wrong

Instead of congratulating Trump, the CEOs of the oil corporations politely rejected the invitation to resume drilling in Venezuela.
