Apparently geologists, like climatologists, are also part of the great liberal conspiracy to drive us all back to 18th century pastoralism, eh Podrock? Well, at least the Association of Petroleum Geologists is on top of things. I'm looking forward to see where this thread is heading. It's a Strange Attractor all right, I can't wait till the rest of the Gang of Four shows up.

Its funny how the Peak Oil idea is anathema to the energy industry these days; back in the early 70s when I worked for the AEC it was often brought up by the nuke industry as a justification for their activities. It wasn't called Peak Oil then, but the idea has been around a long time. By the late 70s, when I was employed by an oil company, it was invoked as the reason we needed to drill offshore and in the national parks.

I'm emailing the link to this site to my cuz Bob the Red, he's been getting into Peak Oil himself.

        Oil is all around us - we're nearly drowning in it! - SDAI-Tech1 - 4/28/2008 1:46:04 AM
        
        Yes, we geologists know the truth about oil and we ain't gonna tell you. - podrock - 4/28/2008 5:35:55 AM
        
        Truth & oil don't mix. Abiotic oil is scary stuff. ;-) - SDAI-Tech1 - 4/28/2008 9:47:10 PM
        
        We discussed it in detail here (without fear). A few months ago. - alcaray - 4/28/2008 11:45:38 PM
        
        Thanks. I must've missed it. Darn. ;-) (n/t) - SDAI-Tech1 - 4/29/2008 12:08:04 AM
        
        Wasn't there a question on "Community" about the definition of "Nutcase"? - nick hoffman - 4/28/2008 11:22:25 PM

        We'll add that to the huge volume of things he does not realize. - Yeti - 4/28/2008 7:23:18 PM
