Countdown to 100$ oil (2) - the views of the elites on peak oil | 30 comments (30 topical, editorial, 0 hidden)

For some silly reason, this got posted much earlier on dKos, so I am not front paging this here. I do intend to keep the full countdown series ongoing here!

Thanks! It's easier to read here (none / 0)

Until Markos gets the style sheets fixed for dKos, it's going to be a real pain reading diaries over there. Everything keeps creeping into the margin.

What did you think of RedDan's comment on the physics of extraction? I'd love to see a source on his numbers, but I remember an old economics prof of mine describing essetntially the same problem.

I replied over there. Should we copy both commetns down here? Go ahead (or I'll do it later)

Re: Apologies (none / 0)

Thank goodness, you finally posted your diary here. I tried to read it at dKos this morning and simply couldn't. I got an intense headache from the effort. I rely on your insights and have been clicking in all morning waiting to actually be able to read what you'd written.

Re: Apologies (none / 0)

So glad this is posted here, where it is easily readable!

A practical question: I am dreading what I see as the inevitable rise to $100/bbl because I have oil heat...should I be thinking about switching over to an electric heat pump? Or will that be equally expensive in the long run?

Thoughts, anyone?
