CERA is welcome to join the ASPO discussion, but to date has declined to do so. And if CERA has things wrong, then a lot of people might just follow its advice and do the wrong thing and get hurt.
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.
