NY Times: The end of oil
When President Bush declared in his 2006 State of the Union address that America must cure its “addiction to oil,” he framed his case largely in terms of national security… He failed to mention two other good reasons to sober up. One is global warming… The second reason is just as unsettling, and is only starting to get the attention it deserves. The Age of Oil — 100-plus years of astonishing economic growth made possible by cheap, abundant oil — could be ending without our really being aware of it.
OSS CEO comments on Exxon mis-information (or active lies) to the public with respect to peak oil
The [Exxon] advertisement [contradicting Peak Oil] is at best mis-information and at worst a complete pack
of lies. Sadly, this advertisement will be read by Members of Congress and
their staff, and by well-intentioned people in the Administration who do not
have time to read books or talk to real experts, and they will believe this
mis-information.
Scientific American: Facing the facts on oil
On the Op-Ed page of today’s New York Times is a large ad-ed placed by ExxonMobil. Titled “Peak Oil? Contrary to the theory, oil production shows no sign of a peak,” the piece blows smoke at the growing consensus among serious petroleum geologists that production of the cheap oil on which all modern economies are based is fast approaching the day when it stops growing to match demand, levels off for a while, and then inexorably falls….The facts suggest otherwise [than Exxon’s ad].
