peak oil debunker in huffpo

[greenman3610]

To be clear, my argument with peak oil is that it has been used as an effective yet spurious tool to ratchet up oil prices and transfer literally trillions of dollars to the myriad players of the oil industry and their hangers on -- all at our expense. I'm not arguing for lower prices so that we can use more. Given the looming disaster of global warming, it is essential that the price of oil come down and our utization of oil decline. The money now pouring into Big Oil's coffers needs to be used for more productive and environmentally urgent purposes, rather than public relations and 'K Street' lobbying billions, that are deflecting our attention from such urgent issues as green house gasses, global warming and their impact on our future.
