Kunstler on the CERA report

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.
Global oil production – “Rate of Conversion” is the key.
The ongoing discussions about “Peak Oil” have continually skirted the one unifying concept which addresses the reality about the (eventual) peaking of global liquids production.

Association for the Debunking of Peak Oil, part 2
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.
Does the peak oil “myth” just fall down? – our response to CERA
The first of a comprehensive and in-depth set of rebuttals to the CERA report from The Oil Drum.
Peak oil is simple
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.
