were saying the production peak is 40 years away are by and large saying now
it's more like 10. Many others say we passed peak two years ago.
I looked into this and think peak was last year or at best within the next
five years. Daily oil production has not increased in the last year while
demand has. We will not see the affects of tightening supplies for a while
but we will see steadily increasing prices. That is what is hiding Peak
Oil from us, gasoline is available to anyone who has the money and will be
for many more years to come, it is just those with the money will be
fewer. This will make it harder to come up with real alternatives until it
may be too late.
