Reply #50: some say peak was a few years ago [View All]

[gold_bug]

others say it will come in about 5 - 10 years. Most free-marketeers and conservatives seem to believe it's more like 40 years away. I'm not sure who to believe (I just started learning about peak oil recently). There's a brand new book by a physicist, David Goodstein, called "Out of Gas". It looks really interesting, I think I'm going to get it this weekend.

Another one on this subject is, Richard Heinberg, The Party's Over. See this website:

The more I learn about this stuff and the more I think about the possibilities and all the implications, the more disturbing it becomes to me.
