Only after listening to the interview, I got the feeling that not only did he not understand the theory, it’s premises, or even its full assertions and facts, but that he hadn’t really given it enough gravity to even study it. Perhaps he “wiki’d” it. Further, I got the feeling that he was run on high octane optimism mixed with a small amount of BS.
Responses to Peak Oil. Speakers: Donald Wulfinghoff (energy efficiency) and John Spear (energy conservation; homes).
