Sounds like you have been reading srsroccoreport.com.

Steve

He and I used to argue back in 2006 and 2007 when I was a silver bug. He is not that smart. If you are following this charlatan then you are really in deep shit.

It doesn't matter what that guy says because the Russian govt analysts say the same thing about oil. I'm not digging up the PDF right now, but the summary is that around 2020 or so the Russians start to have problems keeping up with exports. I don't remember the year for Saudi Arabs, but I think it was 2030-2035 or something. Who knows what either group really has, though. Maybe they both have more, maybe SA runs out sooner.

Technology (knowledge) always rises to fulfill demand. We can even produce oil from coal if need be.

This is bullshit. The Russian report says no known technology replacement currently exists and it's a large problem. I do not think they're lying or that anyone has UFO technology they're keeping secret to fix everything. The Nazis turned coal into fuel for vehicles in the war, and the US supposedly has something like 100 years of coal, but I don't think this is actually a viable method to power all the cars you see driving around today. It would likely be better to just replace them with electric and use the coal to power plants to charge them.

This is probably why the US is subsidizing the hell out of Elon Musk. But, getting rid of gasoline and using coal to power literally everything would likely make every human habitat on earth resemble ecological disaster China, so I'm not sure how much of a solution that is.

Occam's Razor informs you that corruption is the reason. You don't need to invent some elaborate delusion.

No, Occam's Razor does NOT give you that conclusion for why they keep trying to ram carbon tax on people. It doesn't whatsoever. Mostly because you would need to believe there is a conspiracy among scientists, govt, liberal celebrities, etc, to falsify data, which might be the case, but Occam's razor doesn't give you that solution. Occam's razor is of ZERO USE for figuring out most things that go on in govt. You definitely don't figure out jews run the entire media and banks or that our entire foreign policy is based around benefiting their middle east cult using Occam's razor either, but that is the case. The only people that deny that current state of affairs are idiots and shills.

There is no peak energy. It is another religious, Malthusian delusion.

This is wrong once again. My original statement was talking about peak energy mainly in oil and natural gas sectors. While it is possible you might be able to cover the entire surface of the planet with fusion reactors, you would likely not be able to attempt to start that task until around 2050 (and nobody even knows how viable they are). Meanwhile, in the real world, conventional crude oil has been flatlined since 2004 and lower return on investment sources were substituted to try and offset that:

The only constant is the Second Law of Thermodynamics which informs us that entropy is trending to maximum. The Knowledge Age is all about increasing entropy. You had better make sure you understand this and stop clinging to incorrect bullshit.

You keep repeating this nonsensical statement over and over. There IS NO direct correlation between entropy and the 5 billion complex variables that hold human civilization together. How did your infinitely expanding entropy variable prevent Rome from entering the dark ages? It didn't. You are trying to apply some oversimplified computer science/physics concept to a mass of violent monkeys known as humans thinking there is some correlation where none exists.

And please don't try to claim it creates some sort of unstoppable trend line. I don't care what the trend line is if the "temporary dip" off course is a 400 year dark age that's 7x longer than my lifespan. It's like seeing Armstrong claim the "death of Marxism" occurs in 2083 LOL. It's like, what the fuck are you even talking about Armstrong? Next he's gonna say don't buy gold until post-2083 since Marxism is bearish for metals.
