A disservice to the world: CERA denies peak oil
It is inevitable that peak oil “theory” be attacked just as CERA and its clients are doing, precisely because peak oil is gaining credibility and cheap oil is gone forever.

Peddling PetroProzac: CERA ignores 10 warning signposts of peak oil
CERA seeks a sober dialogue to identify “clear signposts that will herald the onset” of either the peak or their “undulating plateau” of world oil production. Here are ten reasons why this turning point is likely between now and 2015.
Peak oil: the last skeptics
CERA claims to thoroughly debunk the theory of peak oil. Except that the press release for the report includes the following graph… Kinda looks peaky, doesn’t it?
