The irony!
I had a horrible experience the other night. It was brief but it knocked me on my butt for a second. We were at my engagement dinner (that’s right, I’m getting married to a wonderful woman next Spring). One of our guests looked at me and said, “You know, I just don’t believe in Peak Oil. It’s in the media every day now and I never believe what I see in the mainstream media.”
Ouch!
It was not the time to talk back. That night was a celebration with a wonderful group of friends. Maybe now I can say what I was thinking. The following story from the Financial Times makes it essential.
Look, you have no idea how hard so many people have worked to get Peak Oil into the mainstream media; or for how many years; or at what price. I am a newcomer. I’ve only been at it for about four years. M. King Hubbert started in 1956. Ken Deffeyes, Colin Campbell, Richard Duncan, Walter Youngquist, Jay Hanson and others have been trying to get people to listen for decades.
