Re: Thanks for that input (none / 0)

Nope, I don't contest the data. I have neither the time nor the inclination to sift through the report.

I am just saying maybe someone should do just that, considering who put it together.

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.

You had time and inclination to check the authors, but not the actual arguments?

It takes less work.

Yep. All the names are in the beginning, and Google (and Wikipedia) is your friend. If I had started looking at their data, arguments and analysis I would have had to make quite an effort, especially as my knowledge of coal mining is pretty close to zero.

Look, I am not saying they are wrong, only that maybe someone should read the pdf and check if it holds water.

Well, Jérôme did just that. If you think he might have missed something, it's your work :-)

When I posted my comment he hadn't crossposted the longer version from DKos yet, so I didn't know that.

Myself, I read maybe three pages and glanced over the rest tonight, I might read it in full tomorrow.
