Marxist J.B. Foster cites peak oil
IHS data suggest Kuwaiti and global proved oil reserves significantly lower than BP estimates
A good many of the things that Mr. Esser [from CERA] said to the subcommittee of the U.S. Congress are technically correct… They are also part of the very intelligent discussion that occurs whenever a group of Peak Oil aficionados gets together. It is not as if CERA has some monopoly on the magic elixir of understanding oil depletion issues, or the secret-decoder ring without which all others are flailing about in the dark.
The first of a comprehensive and in-depth set of rebuttals to the CERA report from The Oil Drum.
Perhaps in a perfect Platonic world of policy, a “peak oil is today” strategy would look different from [CERA’s] “peak oil in 2040” strategy. But back down here on earth, we’re stuck with the blunt instrument of representative democracy. Our choice is far closer to binary than most oil geeks are willing to acknowledge. The choice before us is: mobilize and start pushing, or don’t.
