How much money do you think American oil companies have invested in the outcome of american attacks on oil rich countries...??Peak oil is not all about running out of oil, it is about the chaos that will be created when demand far outstrips supply.... Once demand (which will never peak only keep getting higher) outweighs supply by more than ten percent, every single thing we have come to accept in the world from computers to food to tab's tampons will be affected. An we WILL see it in our lifetime - (except for the old fukers like Ken) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as there's a need for Oil, Oil will be available. Indeed it may become harder to find / extract, but this isn't the same as "running out" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can run a Disel Landcruiser straight out of the ground with some well's out there simply by using two water seperators. 90% Disel! True, it can't really be refined to make our favourite 98 Octane juice but then again, the BMW 535d has uses twin-turbos to make 200kw, 560nm while boosting to 40psi AND achieving 40mpg!
