Good point Shanna! There have been some major discoveries oil deposits all over the world. Most notable are those found very deep under the ocean floor. Peak oil must be a lie especially when they have to drill several Kms below the surface of the ocean to access deposits that don’t bubble up in farmer’s fields. After all there’s no major difference between drilling at the bottom of the ocean or in Leduc, Alberta… unless there’s a little leak or something? But hey, it’s not like we’re fishermen or ducks or anything!
I, of course, had to weigh in with my own brand of sarcasm:
Peak oil exists because I will it with my powers of attraction (there also being a sort of consensus), and I think it is senseless to attempt to do anything but responde by ramming that wall at full speed. No half-ass’ed attempt at collapse for me. It is more power I need and to quit this waste veg oil fuel business forthwith. It's my energy destiny! Soo sad if you’re left behind in the rubble.
Really, I can’t think of an energy machine conspiracy. I feel it’s favourable to some to keep conspiracies alive for the distraction – they’re attractive thoughts: "the good hand that feeds us knows what's best and will surely step in with alternative energy machines if there's ever a problem with meeting our needs". ’cause we all savour this unlimited growth. It's a pretty good thing we've got going here. Catch my drift?
‘SPIN’ could be lurking anywhere. The you-tube viral ‘plastic to oil machine’ would be GREAT if we could just fuel it on abiotic plastic or an endless supply of recyclable petro plastics. Here, by golly, is an example of keeping faith in our ‘progress’ alive, aimed at those on the edge of a conscious reduction in energy intensity. No wonder they go viral.
I don’t believe in all the official stories. Like 9/11. It’s true. I don’t believe. I said it.
People and persons under the law just have interests to maintain. That’s all. And they’re willing to massage things into position. It’s called community design. The foremost designers are those with the foremost interests. It's the nature of the creature: it is willing to act to a degree commensurate with its level of investment.
Hmm, what has changed fundamentally in the way we move in the last 100years? the way we eat? The way we build? Oil got us here. And some powerful interests have sold us on a progress that’s made oil the architecture of our age. Indications are it’s time to change up, even if it’s only an exercise to shore up our confidence.
And the only viable alternative oil is the oil we don’t consume. It’s the only soft path. And we like soft things. Right?
